Emuelec Supported Platforms exclusive File

Here is a comprehensive guide to the platforms, chipsets, and specific hardware models that can run EmuELEC.

The market is flooded with boxes using names like X88, H96, X96, S96, T95 followed by "Pro," "Max," "King," or "Mini". Many of these use different internal components or fake RAM. They might work with the correct Device Tree Blob (DTB), but you risk:

EmuELEC acts as a front-end (using EmulationStation) that manages various back-end emulators, primarily through RetroArch cores. Emulator Ecosystem

EmuELEC runs on three main types of hardware: Single Board Computers (SBCs), Dedicated Handhelds, and Android TV Boxes.

Uses the A311D SoC. It offers top-tier emulation speed in a highly compact form factor.

If your TV box has a (e.g., newer Xiaomi Mi Box S), EmuELEC will never boot . You cannot run EmuELEC on any device with:

EmuELEC does not run on traditional x86 PC hardware. Instead, it is strictly designed for , specifically targeting the Amlogic family of System-on-Chips (SoCs). If a device does not use an Amlogic chip, it is highly likely unsupported by official EmuELEC releases. They might work with the correct Device Tree

Here is the breakdown of every family EmuELEC supports, from oldest to newest.

EmuELEC supports several form factors, ranging from developer boards to affordable retail media centers and dedicated handhelds. Android TV Boxes (OTT Boxes)
