How do I turn my phone into a gaming console?
To turn your old phone (or brand-new device) into a retro gaming system, you’ll need the following:
- An Android phone, tablet, or TV box.
- A USB HDMI adapter and cable (or another method of connecting your Android device to an HDTV)
- Suitable emulator or retro gaming suite.
- Game controllers (Bluetooth or USB)
Can I use my phone as a console?
Yes, you could technically sit with your phone and play the game while looking at the big screen TV – and that is required for some games. But a controller lets you sit back and play wirelessly. It also mimics the experience of a video game console, which is what you are going for with this setup.
