Frequently asked questions
Yes. The microSD card is preloaded and ArkOS 2.0 is already installed: turn it on and play, with no setup or connection to a computer.
It emulates the NES, Super Nintendo, Game Boy / GBC / GBA and Mega Drive perfectly, the PS1 and Neo Geo very well, and the Nintendo 64 and PSP in a more limited way.
The 3200 mAh battery offers about 4 to 6 hours of play depending on brightness and the systems emulated. USB-C charging.
The microSD card capacity: the larger it is, the fuller the preloaded game library. The rest of the hardware is identical.
No: the console is managed via the microSD card. ArkOS automatically organizes games by system, with no software to install.
Owning a console and an emulator is perfectly legal in France. For games, the law allows backing up titles you own — we explain everything in our dedicated guide.
