What is included in the box?

The console, a 1 TB internal hard drive with the game library, one 2.4GHz wireless controller, a 27W USB-C power adapter, an HDMI cable and a manual. The controller needs two AA batteries, which are not included.

Do I need to download games or emulators?

No. The 1 TB drive comes preloaded with over 5700 games across 21 emulators, so you plug in and play.

Does it support light guns?

Yes, the console supports light gun games out of the box, though a light gun itself is not listed among the included items.

What resolution does it output?

It supports 4K, 1080p and 720p output over HDMI, and the included cable is compatible with all three.

How does it compare with a DIY Raspberry Pi build?

It uses the same Raspberry Pi 5 hardware but arrives assembled with the library, controller and power supply ready to go. A DIY build gives more freedom to choose emulators and storage but takes more work.
