Sorry, we tend not to have a big Android TV box discussion on these forums. You may want to try over at FreakTab: https://forum.freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support

The easiest way to set up an emulator on a TV box is not to - most of them don't have the power or the resources to run anything in emulation at any speed that would keep you from falling asleep. A cheap old phone would be more powerful - just find one that has MHL output on the USB port and use an MHL-to-HDMI adapter.

I went to that website and I logged in but for some reason you couldn’t subscribe to the forum to ask any questions

I don’t understand why you say not to and I don’t want to play games on a phone and I don’t have an Android phone anyway and I just want to know how to setup it up to play games

What part of "most TV boxes don't have the power or the resources to run anything in emulation at any speed that would keep you from falling asleep" don't you get? The game I'm assuming you're emulating an NES or something?) is going to run so slowly that you'll realize that you waster all that time setting it up. You could play ping pong by glancing at screen every 10 seconds or so, until the ball was on your side of the table.

How you set it up is simple, so you can try it. Find a game box emulator on Play, load it and run it. Copy a game ROM to the box. Run the game from the emulator. Then prepare to yawn.
