An '''emulation box''' is an unofficial term for a device built with the specific purpose of running emulators. They generally consist of overpriced and locked-down ARM microcomputers and some are more so just "collector's items". They should be avoided as your computer will generally provide better performance overall.
==Cartridge based==
These emulation boxes uses orginal original game cartridges or CDs and cannot (without hacking) load ROMs directly.
