Orange Pi 5

Post by Burnley Hammer »

If anyone's a bit of a geek and enjoys retro gaming, I've just been looking at the Orange Pi 5. It's an ARM board and considerably faster than the Raspberry Pi 4, and even quite a bit faster than the Nvidia Shield according to benchmarks. At only £75 from Ali Express, it would make an excellent retro gaming console. With a case, 256gb SSD storage, and a bluetooth 5 dongle thrown in, the complete package would cost no more than £140 to put together. Batocera already have a stable build for the board, and tests have shown that the board is more than capable of emulating everything up to PS2, Gamecube, and Wii.

Yep - that's the downside of ordering from China. You can get it elsewhere quicker but not at that price.

I've ordered quite a few things from AliExpress before. It generally arrives quicker than it suggests.

Mostly about 2 weeks.
