Oh, what's this? It's the HK1 Android TV box. Let's see what's inside, shall we? Oh, what's the Mrs. Bin ordering? It's one of the makeup box things, I think. Oh, it's very pretty. Hmm. Ooh, shiny. Is that what I think it is? Is that what I think it is? Is that what I think it is? Is that a retro monkey? In the Ninja Heidi Hall, we have a HDMI cable, a power adapter, this is 5V2 amp and a remote control. I'm not going to use this. And finally, origami paper. This box is extremely light and it reminds me of a zap. A top tier isolate from England. On the back we have power in, Spadiff, HDMI, AV and network. Moving around on the corner we have a USB 2, USB 3 and a micro SD slot. On the bottom we have a nice sticker. This box is surprisingly small. So for the size comparison, let's use a Roy Bosch T-bag. It could be better for you and me. Roy Bosch. This is a TV box with Android 9. It's got a 1.9GHz quad core processor in it, a Mally G31 GPU, 4GB RAM and it's extremely cheap. Alright, let's turn it on, see how it performs. So we have Android 9 here and when it's turned on, a clock appears on the front side of the TV box. Reminds me of my parents old radio. I wonder if they still have that. Here's a couple of benchmarks, first one and two and second is Geekbench. But let's get into some testing then make sense. I installed Emuelek 4 onto a micro SD. Using this you can play many older games from your TV box. Like a Retro Pie you need to add your own games. But if you have a Retro Pie or Super console X, you can easily move them over. We can change the themes. Emuelek has a vast range of customization options. Now let's go with the classic Bomberman. Alrighty, let's get into some game testing. This one's X-Sync, on Main. Here's some Neo Geo. The systems that will run on this are very similar to the Super console X. But the system is a bit quicker. So for that I want to check out the more difficult games to run. Here's Jim Power on FS UAE, which is for the Amiga. And this game actually runs pretty well. 50 frames per second is full speed for this game. From second 3 for the PlayStation, this is PCSX Rearmed. And here's some Ridge Racer revolution on the Swan station. This is running on the Vulcan backend. We're going to move over to Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast. It's running on the Flycast Core. Here's Virtua Tennis. This one had severe glitching on the Mally 450 GPU. The new GPU here cleanses that up nicely. If the game chugs a little, you can always turn on Frameskip to speed things along. And Cannon Spike. This one also had graphical issues. Now it's all good. I'm going to move on to Atomis Wave here. This one's Neo Geo Battle Colosseum. It doesn't even run on the console X. So the elephant in the room Nintendo 64. I'll say this once. N64 is a difficult platform to emulate. I had best look on the Mupin 64 Plus Core, but on stock settings it's very fuzzy. Raising the resolution can make it look better, but it will slow it down. Expect to only play the most simple N64 games at a good speed. Just killer instant gold. Ok, here's some PSP. Many titles would run like slow honey. But that is until you put on some Frameskip. It's not complete perfection, but I'm amazed that these games can be somewhat playable on such a cheap TV box. Outrun 2006 is a bit more demanding. We can see that with the FPS at the top right. Android also has its own emulators and games. The Mupin 64, FZ, Redream, YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Store, Internet, e-mail. So for the pros and cons. Android 9 gives the user an easy way of installing apps, so it's not just a one trick pony. Using Muelec onto a microSD makes this a cheap retro gaming powerhouse. The full gigabytes of memory and fast-dish CPU allows us to play more demanding games than most other TV boxes under $100. If you have a super console X or even the Pro, felt like it needed a little more memory. This is a cheap upgrade. New versions of Muelec need at least 2 gigabytes or it will choke. So what about the Pi 4? The Pi usually wins with software support, but with the recent developments of Muelec and the community, I find that the HK1 box can actually outperform the Pi 4, especially when it's left stock. If you then put into account that you'd pay more than double for a Pi 4, I could tell you now. I can clearly recommend this cheap little HK1 make-up box for your wife. Well friend, anyway time for some crossy road.
