The Amlogic S905W is a budget-oriented System-on-Chip (SoC) found in low-cost TV boxes (e.g., X96 Mini, TX3 Mini). This paper evaluates the suitability of EmuELEC, a specialized Linux-based retro-gaming distribution, for the S905W platform. While not as powerful as the S905X or S905X2 variants, the S905W can emulate systems up to PlayStation Portable (PSP) and some lightweight Dreamcast titles when properly configured. Key constraints include single-channel memory bandwidth and limited CPU frequency scaling.
