Hello @ETA Prime. You have some great videos that have really helped me understand emulation/single boards and just regular good ol knowledge. Keep up the awesome videos. From sunny Orange County California have a great day.
Beautiful device I just pre-ordered it. I hope you bring many more similar devices. Greetings from Ecuador

The RAM is a bit of an overkill. I'm hoping Qualcomm release a TV box with official Google/Android TV and the Snapdragon Gen 1. My Shield TV 2015 is showing its age. The CPU cannot handle AetherSX2
I'm definitely going to consider a SBC when my Shield is no longer supported. I am tired of having someone else decide what I see on my home screen. I know, there are 3rd party launchers. Those can be blocked at any time. I used to love those cat and mouse games with companies. There comes a time when you're too old for that. You jyst want to spend a rainy Sunday setting everything up and have it stay that way.

This is an awesome SBC. Just to see one with some great PS2 emulation.
Hey there, I really like your videos and you are becoming one of my first channels to check daily so thanks!!! I am looking for SBC arm based and I'm really confused what is the absolutely best one in process power to choose knowing that I'm going to run android 12 and use it for all streaming + emulation? Your advice will be taken for sure as you tried a lot of them. I'm between mekotronics R58X ,firefly or khadas? Or anything that beats these ones on android 12 Also what do you think about Tencent Aurora Box 5Pro as it is there already but I don't see anyone really on KZread reviewing it?
I can't wait to see you testing the leaked i3-n300 and i3-n305 CPUs for emulation, especially as this branch of CPUs grow in core count. Should be very capable and very power efficient.
Clean 4K 60Hz play back should be a minimum goal for the Raspberry Pi 5! I'm hoping they are using the supply shortage time to work on the design and hopefully come out with a banger.

Awesome SBC! I would personally like to see a valorant test gameplay on SBCs since it's a CPU intensive game.
Great overview. Looks like a great SBC for SD systems. A little pricey though. I was reading through the comments and saw the NanoPi R6S mentioned and would love to see you review it if you weren't already planning to :)

@@LivingLinux Thats 119 euro... but since that AM4 mainboards starts at 60 euro and there starting to show up many 3588/3588S systems I think most will be a lot cheaper soon or totally irrelevant. There are plans to use the 3588S in SmartTVs... so it's probably dead cheap.
SBC's sure have come a long way since the pi3
👍👍👍 P.S. How can you make your videos so often? Do you have big team?
Looks pretty good for a small retro emulation system up to Dreamcast/N64/PSP.
Thanks for the great info it looks similar to The Rock 5B. The RK3588S is a scaled-down RK3588 with fewer features for more affordable SBCs. does that mean Rock 5B is more superior?
I would love to see the RK3588 in an anbernic device in the near future.
hahaha just when I was wondering when were you gonna release a video showing Android's performance on this board, jeez KZread really does read your mind 😅, All jokes aside I was actually hoping that you'd be testing a bit of Citra and Skyline as well
Its really cool to see this kind of performance in an arm sbc, but for its price I can buy an odroid H3+ with 2x4GB of ram and 256GB SSD

Yeah hard to justify.
Amazing. Does it handle high frequency vidéo output for gaming screen ? (144hz and more)
Expensive, but really nice. ARM definitely king when it comes to performance at low power consumption and a tiny size.
I cannot wait for raptorlake E core based SBCs up to 16 cores with 6th gen i5 per-core performance, but at 20w instead of 300w+ for 16 cores at 4Ghz
Looks like we're going to see some powerful handheld emulator device soon.
Hi ETA your videos are great and can you try nfs games in emulator i wonder how its performance
Can you try gaming/emulation on a Project Voltera?? :D
Hey ETA what's the Widevine level on it. I have the R58X with pretty much the same specs but Android 12 is level 3
I have a question, as your running this over one cable how would you safely turn it off? I can’t imagine yanking the cable would be a good idea.

Great content as usual. I'm looking to replace my nVidia Shield 2015 for something newer, but not for gaming or emulation but mainly for watching movies, TV (both streaming and local). Would it be possible for you to try running like Plex, Netflix and Disney+ or any other streaming service and see what kind of sound formats are supported somehow? Like does the RK3588s support Dolby 5.1, Atmos etc. Or would you be restricted to just stereo? I'm not really seeing any good alternatives to the ageing Shield.

Doesnt a SCOM ( single cable operation mode ) restricts using the board with Displays with lower power output. So wouldn't having two separate Type Cs with one of them being full featured a better option?
Will you be getting a Rockpi 5 for testing? That seems like a better board to me.
hi Etaprime, wich is the the third-party mapper that you use @min 6:34 for genshin impact? thx a lot
Are you going to be testing the rock 5 model b? I'd like to see how that does.
I wonder if this could run from battery. This would make an awesome powerful handheld
Finally, SBCs are getting more than 8 gigs of RAM!
PLEASE do a review of ClockworkPi's new uConsole!
Will you test the ORANGE PI 5 soon ? (similar board but looks a bit more powerfull than KADAS EDGE 2 on paper)
You could easily stream games to this too and get the maximum experience. How would the latency be?
I will buy this and try to make an upgrade on the Sony UX MicroPC
8:55 I never seen, it has a Melty Blood on PS2 emulator before.
Spotted Hearthstone on the desktop ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your monitor buddy need something like this myself 😳
Melty Blood!? I see that you too are a man of culture.
Could this unit get google chrome installed on it and run good, I’m just looking for work emails and surfing with some video playback or would you recommend a mini pc. I seen some of your mini pc vids but not trying to invest too much into work in case some other employees decide they needed my mini pc more than idid
Could we see a vid on the HoneyComb LX2 with Android, Linux and Windows 11 ARM?
Is the Gigabyte Aorus any good, i wanted to buy one, but i read some really bad reviews about it.
would love to see jak and daxter on pcsx2
the only thing is that the 3588 is already old and new better arm will be out pretty soon - v likely - arm does not have much roadmap guidance which is too bad for them - they are lost on that point and need to get much more aggressive with sbc forward guidance

Honestly I know Khadas for their DAC and Amplifier.
Give me a board like this with a M.2 slot and I'd be VERY happy. I'd even settle for a SATA port. But eMMC?
Really wanna what the performance will be to the Microsoft Dev Kit 2023. It is a snapdragon 8cx gen 3 SoC device ... however it seems m1 Mac mini is still a better choice.

Different horses for different courses, though. Vega 8 would not do well in running arm-v8a commands, just as mali would not do well in x86. If you're looking for a board to run android on, this will be better option. Otherwise, stick with the ryzen one.
Khadas Edge 2 VS Orange Pi 5, next 😉
Would you be able to try a windows vertual machine and see if some steam games work
How does it handle high refresh rate eg 144hz?
Eta you should try black desert mobile it has controller support
Best channel on youtube
have you tried arm linux distros
Genshi Impact does have controller support, you have to enable it in the settings, at least it worked on my xbox controller roughly 1 year ago, didn't test it now. You just have to activate it or else it won't work.
Is it possible for it to connect to multiple devices via bluetooth?
Good for its size. If it does cost around 300 usd.
I think you should add "ExaGear: Windows Emulator for you tests...😁 it runs windows and pc games... maybe this would good for this...
I'm interested in emulation. Where can you buy real ROMs?
The 8gb version iant all that bad for 200 (kinda on the high side) i have been looking for one of the tiny sff pcs from lenovo ho and dell... Maybe one with a ryzen apu might be a good value. X86 is definitely more powerful in my use case.

Why haven't we seen this with a more powerful CPU, like the snapdragon 865 or higher? I feel like the overheating issues of an 888 or 8 gen 1 would be nothing versus a decent fan and heatsink, you could even keep it contained in a mini PC case with plenty of room to spare. Overall I'm excited for windows 11 to become more stable, I'd love to see a mini PC with an 8 gen 2 running windows 11. That'd be really awesome
Can Windows 11 ARM be installed on this or similar boards?
