Android Box for Emulators etc

[markg1981]

Hey. I was contemplating getting an android box. My thought was Showbox on the TV and maybe a SNES or Mega Drive emulator and connect a ps3 controller or two for a bit of retro fun. Has anyone any recommendations on a good Android box? There seems to be a thousand of them and varied reviews. Don't mind spending £30 or £60, whatever's good!

Thanks

TBH you'd be better off with a raspberry pi 2. It's much easier to setup.

Oh, can I use Android apps like Showbox and Emulators? And connect controllers via Bluetooth?
