Troubleshooting

Console does not power on

Ensure the Micro-USB cable is securely connected to both the console and the power source. Verify that the power source is functioning correctly. Try a different USB power adapter or outlet.

No video or audio output

Confirm the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the console and the TV. Ensure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input source. Restart both the console and the television.

Controller is unresponsive

Check that the controller cable is firmly plugged into the console. Try plugging the controller into the other controller port. If the issue persists, the controller may be faulty.

Game runs slowly or with glitches

This is generally not an issue with the hardware itself, but may indicate a specific game emulation quirk. Ensure the console is receiving adequate power. Try restarting the console.
