To be honest, I have no idea how the creators of the 5T have been able to do this without licencing, and the fact they have been able to do this at all is a little shady. However, I’m not here to judge anyone; otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing this review. Then, you have LaunchBox, which covers the more advanced platforms, such as Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Sega Saturn and PSP. And then, finally, you get Playnite, which includes some pretty good AAA PC games, some of which are quite recent.

This has been quite a long article, and it needed to be. The amount of content on the 5T is staggering, and the console is probably one of the best products I’ve written about lately. It’s simple to set up straight out of the box, and it does everything that it says it should do. As I mentioned earlier, everyone’s experience will differ depending on what hardware you are using. But if you have a decent rig, then this is a must buy. It’s just a shame that EmulationStation isn’t as polished as I’d hoped, but this should definitely not deter you from buying this product.

At this stage, I didn’t feel comfortable installing any additional files, so I tried all three platforms without doing so, and everything worked anyway. I may be missing something by not installing the files, but I’m happy with how it works and didn’t see not installing anything as a major issue.
