There's now a super easy way to play retro games on an Android TV box, thanks to a new launcher called Cannoli. It's also designed for handhelds, but I think it really shines when creating a TV-friendly retro gaming machine. In this video I'll show you how to set this up on a $30 ONN Walmart TV box.

Beware of cheap/knockoff Android TV boxes; they often won't be certified for 4K playback on streaming apps, and some have been found to contain malware. I generally stick to ONN, Google, etc.
