Another generic retroconsole that we found in AliExpress, this time it’s called Super Console X Max, and it calls our attention for its triple system with Android / EmuELEC / CoreELEC.
This system is made up of the typical Chinese Android Box with a pair of joysticks to play without problems. As systems, we have Android TV 9 in the internal memory as in a normal Box, the EmuELEC 4.5 emulation suite and the CoreELEC multimedia player in two micro SD. We only have to insert the micro SD with EmuELEC and loaded with games, to boot the Box in emulation mode and access the games, if we don’t insert it, the Box will boot with Android TV 9. Thanks to its Amlogic S905X3 SoC and its 4 GB of RAM we can move most apps, play 4K UHD content at 60 fps without problems and play games in 2D and some 3D.
A simple and fairly cheap solution for those who don’t want to complicate themselves with installations and downloads of retro games. Although we have the option of using a TV-Box with similar characteristics and installing EmuELEC.
