THE400 Mini is a miniature dedicated video game console by Retro Games.
It was released worldwide on March 28, 2024.
THE400 Mini was designed to resemble the Atari 400 computer, although the keyboard keys on the case are non-functional.
It comes with a one-button USB joystick. A USB keyboard can also be attached to load the games, or a virtual keyboard can be used via the joystick. Games are selected via the carousel menu system.
Features
THE400 Mini contains twenty-five built-in games. It uses an emulator to run the games.
The power is provided by a standard mini USB plug and wall adapter, and the video is output through HDMI.
Technical specifications
The system is much more powerful than the system on which it was designed.
It uses an Allwinner H6 SoC (system on a chip). The system specifications are as follows:
- 528 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (central processing unit)
- 500 Mhz dual-core ARM Mali-400 MP2 GPU (graphics processing unit)
- 512MB RAM (random access memory)
- 512MB flash storage
Since it uses common architecture, the system can be modified to add additional games, simply using the supplied mini-USB cable and open source software.
