For the tinkerer, the retro enthusiast, or the parent wanting to introduce classic games without hunting down vintage hardware, EmuELEC is a hidden gem. It proves that you don’t need a $200 SBC or a gaming PC to relive the golden age of arcades and consoles.

Sometimes, the best game console is the one you already own—running Linux on a forgotten TV box.
