Whatever the case may be, I did notice a few hiccups. It could also be due to the limitations of the hardware. I am not sure if this was due to my internet connection or the games themselves. When playing the games I did notice the odd stuttering or frame rate issue. Sorry Mac users, you won’t be able to take advantage of this feature. It is recommended you use the Nvidia GeForce Experience 2.2.2 App or higher. Just keep in mind you need a decent rig to pull this off. Last but not least you can use the GEM Stream App to play games from your PC. This will give you access to big games we cover on the site on a regular basis. More experienced players will likely want the GameFly subscription which runs for around $15 bucks a month. Don’t expect any AAA games in the store but if you are looking for something to keep the kids occupied, the GEM Store works just fine.
#GEMBOX CONSOLE ANDROID#
The GEM Store for instance is pre-installed and lets you search over 150 different Android games that are compatible with the included controller gamepad. Thankfully, the Gem Box isn’t limited to those games with access to GameFly, the GEM Store, Google Play and your PC.
#GEMBOX CONSOLE TV#
“Designed to turn your TV into a complete streaming and gaming hub, the Emtec GEM Box is the first Android TV Box that has been designed for not only gamers but your entire family.” That said, the games gave me a good feel for how they run on the GEM Box. Those games may be perfectly suited for a younger, more novice gamer but the more seasoned vets will want to stay clear from those dogs. There are already 4 four pre-loaded video games on the unit (Asphalt 8, GT Racing 2, Wonder Zoo and My Little Pony) that don’t require any kind of internet connection. The amount of customization here is notable as you can personalize the home screen and add shortcuts to your go-to apps and games. Once everything is setup, you are presented with a basic interface that allows you to navigate the many menus and app screens. If you are planning on using your GameFly account with GEM Box you better have amazing WiFi, otherwise your best bet is to hard-wire the sucker. While I was not able to access GameFly using a wireless connection, I was able to use it when I plugged the Ethernet network cable from the GEM Box to the back of my router. I tried both WiFi and a wired internet connection.
#GEMBOX CONSOLE MANUAL#
The manual recommends you hard-wire your internet connection, but it is not absolutely necessary. Simply plug everything in, hit the input button on your TV and you are good to go. The unit comes with an AC power adapter, HDMI and Network cable. Otherwise, the GEM Box has an easy plug and play set-up.
