It's not a joke or fake. A user can play Wii, PlayStation and even Minecraft on the Rabbit r1

We already know that these last few weeks have been intense with respect to what the Rabbit r1 is capable of. There are thousands of detractors and the same number of lovers of this device, and day by day it is improving in terms of capabilities.

Since it went on the market, the community has been researching how to get the most out of the device, since many of the specifications that it was going to have are still to come and we do not have an arrival date.

Additionally, it was discovered that the Rabbit r1 essentially had a hardware very similar to that of a smartphone and as such, It was operated by Android. This has caused the user community to begin to unravel new possibilities of use.

Retro emulators in the Rabbit r1

Has been the user @Bringus Studios the one who, through his YouTube channel, has managed to make the Rabbit r1 become a "recreational machine" and through a gamepad connected to gadget has made the device a video game console.

We are going to review and give some opinions on the use of the Rabbit r1 as a video game console.

To begin with, I consider that - obviously - the Rabbit r1 is not a good emulation machine. Firstly because of the obvious limitations of its components, and secondly because the tiny screen it has barely allows you to see.

But the user Bringus Studios has come to have fun, and as such has reviewed some of the most legendary video games on the gaming scene.

Minecraft

One of the games he installs on the R1 is Minecraft, noting that although there are performance issues, the game is playable with some modifications. Even so, as I mentioned before, the screen size is too small to play.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

Probably one of the most iconic sagas in the world of video games. For me very surprising and it seems that GTA runs quite smoothly on the Rabbit r1 despite the hardware limitations it has. Very unexpected.

Half-Life 2

Use an app called Zash 3D to emulate Half-Life 2, achieving more than decent performance although with some control problems. It is truly surprising that it is capable of running HL at more than 70fps.

Doom

Well, we already knew about Doom for a long time, right?

Emulators Used

The video shows how he uses various emulators such as Dolphin Emulator to emulate GameCube and Wii games, such as Super Monkey Ball 2, but with unsatisfactory results due to performance issues. It also uses Zash3D to emulate Half Life.

I'm sure that later We will see users getting even more performance out of the device.or through research and experimentation as is being done until now. Let's see how far they go...
