This is an experimental branch that adds support for and Allwinner devices. Warning: This branch is bleeding edge. Do not use it for a permanent arcade cabinet.

Powered by the Amlogic S922X, this is one of the most powerful official EmuELEC platforms. It features excellent thermal management, allowing for stable overclocking to get the absolute most out of PSP and Saturn emulation.

EmuELEC supports a vast spectrum of consoles and computers, typically limited only by the raw power of the specific Amlogic chip used:

Always check the official EmuELEC GitHub releases page to download the exact image matching your platform architecture (e.g., Amlogic-ng for modern chips). emuelec supported platforms

Similar to the Anbernic devices, these utilize custom distributions heavily based on the EmuELEC codebase.

The sweet spot. These chips offer a massive jump in CPU and GPU performance. They smoothly emulate most N64, Dreamcast, and PSP titles, along with arcade systems via MAME.

For years, cheap Android TV boxes (like the Beelink, Tanix, or the infamous X96 series) were often seen as limited, laggy media players. EmuELEC changed their fate by allowing users to bypass Android entirely, booting a lean Linux system directly from an SD card. This is an experimental branch that adds support

Simply writing EmuELEC to an SD card will not make it boot on an Android TV Box. Because generic boxes vary in RAM configurations, ethernet speeds, and WiFi chips, EmuELEC requires a correct file to interface with the hardware.

EmuELEC is a specialized Linux-based operating system designed for retro gaming, specifically optimized for devices. While it is most famous for powering budget Android TV boxes, it also supports a range of handheld consoles and single-board computers. Supported Hardware Platforms

EmuELEC does not support Rockchip devices (like the RK3328 or RK3399 found on some Odroids and Firefly boards) or Allwinner chips (found on most Orange Pi boards). If you buy an Orange Pi 5 hoping to run EmuELEC, you will be disappointed. You need Batocera or JELOS for those. Powered by the Amlogic S922X, this is one
