Is it possible to damage Mi Box S by emulating games on it?

by SCXMX

I bought ePSXe and I'm really surprised how great it works on Mi Box S. However, I wanted to ask - is it possible that emulating PS1 games on Mi Box can be harmful for the device?

It gets warmer than when I stream videos on it. Is there any mechanism that prevent the box from overheating? I can't find any info on case like this but I'm still paranoid about it, I bought Mi Box for my wife so she can watch Netflix etc. and I'm afraid that I will ruin it for her by damaging the box.

I would be grateful to hear opinion of someone who knows more about this stuff. btw I'm emulating at internal 1x resolution, I prefer the original look.

Nothing will happen, enjoy your gaming session 👍🏼

If you want get one of those fan used on electronics that you can plug to the usb port or directly to the power outlet.

no it won't damage itself.

also it will throttle itself down if it gets too hot.
