In this rather lengthy video (the second half is just game footage for the most part) I take a look at the Gamebox 1001 console that recently came out of China.

It is a linux based device (kinda like a Dingoo) running a dual core 500Mhz CPU and only costs about 48 USD. Almost too good to be true right?

Well not really if you look at the price per game!
I am actually quite impressed with it despite a couple of flaws. The controller is actually quite nice. There's no way to run other games than the ones installed on it though. Even though the manual sort of hints at Gameboy advance games through some sort of Gameboy Advcance-like cartridge.

There is a MicroSD slot but I have yet to try that out.

My review of the Gamebox - one of my gaming regrets. Right after unboxing I was actually quite impressed by the joystick and some of the games ran pretty well but overall the quality of the emulation is piss poor and I never really came back to it after making this video...
