F**K SH**TY C**T F**KING SPLASHTOP!!!
Cool. Guess this is a way I can play any PC game pretty much on my TV. Or i can play them on my PC, since they are right next to each other.
Very nice walkthru video, think I'll give it a try later.
The Fire Tv has a lot of fun games but with Dreamcast Emulator you can play you favorite games and bring those nostalgic memories with your friend and family.

Going to point out that due to SD card mod for the Dreamcast (plus some other mods), GDI images of Dreamcast games are easy to find and are arguably better then the CDI images from the past.
Awesome so GDI images might run faster and help the Emulator play Games smoother.
I will try this and see... Thx
Hi
I have been able to transfer Reicast onto my Amazon Fire TV stick using Adbfire. However i have so far been unable to transfer the necessary operating files to the emulator. How can I achieve this? Many thanks
Hi
Just wondering if there has been any fix for the fire TV being restarted by games
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone, just got done setting up my new Shield TV with Kodi to stream media files from my unRaid NAS! I purchased the Shield because my old WDTV Live was dying and there did not appear to be many options for media boxes that could stream network content without transcoding with Plex or similar. My unRaid server uses a very old Atom CPU and doesn't have the horsepower to transcode 720p video or above.
Setting up Kodi was pretty easy, although it wasn't able to install it from the Play store. I had to go the route of loading the APK from a USB stick. All of my networked media seems to play flawlessly!
So now onto my question, what is everyone using their Shield for? I've got mine in the bedroom and I'm curious to see what else I can do with it. Out of all my Android games (I have a lot because I've gone through 3 android phones and 2 android tablets) only Wayward Souls was available for Android TV. I some experience with PS1 and SNES emulators from my tablet, but it seems the Shield is much more capable.
My general household includes 2 android phones, an android tablet, a gaming PC with an nvidia graphics card, the unraid server, and an HTPC in the living room. Solid AC Wifi connection between the Shield and the rest of the network.
Throw some ideas at me - what else should I do with the Shield?
Welcome.
I'm using my Shield as a main media center hooked up to my TV in the living room.
I do some android gaming sometimes, but there aren't enough titles i like (hoping this will change)
once nop releases the NTFS and samba kernel, i'm planning to use it as a NAS with a 2.5" usb 3.0 hdd connected to it.
RetroboxTV is pretty sweet for game emulation.
We use our Shield as our primary media device. It does everything we want minus native WatchESPN. We have an hdhomerun prime that we use with the Live Channels app for live TV.
We have a 2 TB external HDD hooked up with movies and TV shows that we watch through Kodi.
What else are you looking for?

Get sideload launcher, it will give you a wider range of apps you can run. You can also install amazon underground (first download and install the Chrome .apk to browse to it). IMO, ES file explorer provides a lot of the network search functions that I used to use Kodi for, so that removes some software layers. MXPLayer seems to be the most capable video player I've tested.
Mount as fileshare

Hey can you help me out? I cannot figure out how to mount a network share into the filesystem.. ive tried using cifsmanager and tutorials but to no avail. can you please help?
just ordered my Shield TV
Relatively new here, roamed forums and maybe posted once or twice. Just ordered my NVidia shield tv and cant wait to get my hands on it! One question that I have yet to get a concrete answer to is can you run amazon prime video on it? Currently have an AFTV second gen and love it but always wanted more power out of it. Think im good with the shield tv but I do need to have prime video. Can someone give me a concrete answer? I've read through tons of threads out there and seems some people say you can while I've read others who say its a no go. HELP PLEASE!!!
P.S. thank you in advance!!!!

You CAN run prime video. However, the current workaround will not give you you 1080p (or 4K). You'll be limited to 720p. http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/amazon-prime-video-demand-android-tv-t3278778
OK everyone so I've been using my Shield for a bit now and here are my quick thoughts. I haven't rooted or installed ROMs or done anything else. The most complicated thing I've done is put APKs on a flash drive and clicked "OK" in ES File Explorer to install them. I've also had to use a computer with the Play store to install a few games/apps.
1) ES File Explorer is OK but the user interface is very difficult to navigate (not intuitive)
2) Getting a PS1 and SNES emulator up and running were easy
3) Netflix, PBS, and CBS Sports are the only native video streaming apps I can get to work because I have Comcast/Xfinity and they hate Android TV. However, CBS Sports is only clips, not full programming, I find that pretty useless.
4) HBO Go and Showtime Anytime work with built in app casting functionality from my Android phone
5) Fox Sports Go works by casting my phone through Android (not within the app)
6) There are very few games in the Play store that seem to support Shield TV. So far I've only got Wayward Souls and Reaper.
Questions:
1) I've got Retro Arch and Arc Browser installed because I read about them a lot. However, I can't figure out what to actually do with either of those apps.
2) What other Android/play store games?
3) What other video streaming services (I have Comcast/Xfinity)
4) What emulator next? I'm thinking PSP would be good... anything else?
5) Any other apps or cool uses I should look at?

1) There is a touchpad on the bottom of the game controller. It's hidden, but if you run your finger over the gray area above the volume control it should respond as a mouse pointer. That should help you navigate some apps easier.
2) Implosion (play store), Sonic CD & Goat Simulator (Chrome.apk -> Amazon underground -> amazon Apps), and some of the more ambitious MMO like War Thunder and Vendetta should work well.
3) HBOGo should work from your phone by casting, as will a lot of other video apps. FoxNow, WatchESPN, NBC, xfinity TV Go are some others I've tested successfully.
4)
5) sideload launcher if you don't already have it. Kodi is good for live TV from external devices (i.e. HDHomeRun Connect), but I've always found its navigation to be more complicated than it needs to be.
So i'd like to sideload a game onto my Shield TV, is this possible? I know it's possible with Apps, but this is a full game. Thanks! (Game is Witcher3)
if its an .exe no but if its in a format that can work with an emulator then you can test it.
In case of an exe, what you can do is stream from your PC the game using an app like Splashtop (it supports hardware accel) to remote control your PC or if your have a compatible Nvidia Card on your PC you can use the Gamestream feature by Nvidia in your Shield TV.

I don't know about Splashtop, but the native way to stream on the Shield TV is using its native app GameStream, if you have an nVidia Card.
Beside that, you can't sideload an .exe on the Shield, and generally on Android. And you wouldn't have the computational power to run a game on it like The Witcher 3, natively.
Have a nice day
was this a serious question?
First of all, you can't run windows games on Android devices. Second, this device doesn't even have the performance to run that game.
Third, the shield tv is equipped to stream windows game from your computer to your device, or from the cloud to your device. You can only stream PC games to the Nvidia Shield (tv). Windows Applications won't work either. Unless there's some x86 emulator somewhere.
I am thinking of buying Fire TV Cube, I am wanting to play DVD/Blu-ray/UHD ISO's with menus. Is this possible?
