Anyone running emulators on the mi box to play retro games? Which emulators are you using?

Retroarch has everything you need

and PPSSPP

How much of the 8GB storage is taken up by the operating system and how much is actual usable storage available ? Anybody using USB storage plugged in to have more apps/storage available ?

I've hooked up a 2TB external. Play all the kids movies off of that

Before I invest in a USB to Ethernet adapter, do you find performance over wifi suck too? I ran a test with a tool called iPerf and get a measly 1.01 Mbits/sec on the Mi. On an older V88 box it's better at 5.5 Mbits/sec and between two wired Windows pcs on the same network it jumps to 93.4 Mbits/sec. All connected to same TP-Link router. Thoughts?

No WiFi issues on mine on 2 different routers (changed from ADSL to Fibre recently).

Hi Guys

I bought the MI box over the weekend.

I installed the dstv now app but when I open the app it says I have to update my google play services, how do I do that?

Go to your Google Play store app and update all apps requiring an update. This would include Google Play services.

Unfortunately no, but you should receive it because I'm not enrolled in the beta program.

Go into settings and "About", then systems update and click "check for update", that's how I got it.
