Did your box come pre-rooted? If not which method did you choose? Awesome video! I think it's worth noting that some boxes allow for emuelec to be installed to flash with a PC and puTTy for those who wish to replace the android on their box. Also, you may have better luck with the n64oid emulator, it's old/dated but I've had better luck with it on the android side.

My box is still as I bought it. In some cases it says it's rooted, but the LibeElec reboot app says it's not - so not entirely sure. Having said that I don't think you need to be rooted to get it all to work by using the terminal emulator. Thanks for the tips on the emulator side. I've not used n64oid.

all of this videos will eventually lead up to building a full arcade cabinet, cant wait to see

Hi. We'll get there soon! Too many projects, too little time.

What if you install emuELEC and the you want use android again. What are you suppose to do? And btw wich version of Android you box has?

@BytesNBits

Жыл бұрын

If you run EmuElec from the SD card there's no issue. If you install it to the internal Flash you'll need to do a factory reset. I haven't looked at how to do this but it should be possible (probably download an SD card image). I think my box ran Android V9.

HI GUYS. I would like to know if i press reboot upgrade in my tv box to load retropie or batocera do i have to do the same every time i want to play games? or is there any option to do it the first time and then it will boot from sd card? Cheers.!!!

Hi. With the setup I used you do need to use the reboot command each time. The other option would be to burn the Eluelec etc directly onto the internal hard drive. I didn't do this as I didn't want to lock my system into the emulator setup. If you follow the instruction on the emulator front end pages they should walk you through the process.

OK, if i understand this emuelec thing, games should in theory run BETTER than if you were to just run them via an emulator in android, also this thing comes with retroarch built-in. assuming this is correct i only really have one question. when trying to use retroarch in android i can ONLY use a bluetooth game controller( retroarch will not detect wired game controllers)is the same true within emuelec? or will i be able to use my usb game controller with retroarch within emuelec?

​@@BytesNBits i think you didn't understand my issue, yes everything i plug into my usb on my tvbox works while in android, i can use my game controller to navigate all my apps and various menus, HOWEVER when i start Retroarch i am shit-out-of-luck because Retroarch DOES NOT detect my usb wired game controller, it simply does not work with retroarch EVER, it will only detect a bluetooth game controller like an xbox one, now do you see what i am saying?

Has anyone got the amiga emulator working on this? I have the Kickstart files and renamed to kick13.rom & kick 31.rom etc and placed in the amiga/roms/bios folder, but no joy.

I haven't tried Amiga. I can't see why it shouldn't work.

Random guy with random information. If you wanna play these android devices online with a friend. You need a PC with "Parsec application" installed in it. You also need a Titan 1 adapter. Parsec is a free streaming service, stream anything. Titan 1 adapter is to catch console controller inputs. You display the game with a capture on OBS studio with a zero delay capture card so your friend online can see the console device screen on "Parsec". You stick your Titan 1 inside your android. The USB cord that comes with the Titan 1 stays plugged inside the PC. Now on the PC open the Gtuner program for the Titan 1. Go to tools and look for output device and pick Xbox 360. Output for Xbox 360 because android devices can detect these controllers. After you set the output to Xbox 360. Open "max Aim di" Look for direct input device. Ask your friend online to move his controller so you can select the correct controller for Titan 1 to catch his inputs so they go to your android device. When you see inputs moving. You and your friend have to map buttons together. Example, on your mouse you click on up "direct input catch" then your friend press up to map the button. Keep doing this until controller is completely mapped. Save the profile so you don't have to do it again. You hit export to save it. Import to load the profile for next time, have fun.
