There is some way to trick the program into not crashing when inserting a new name but I literally can't remember how I did it. Gamesome will crash every time you try to enter new data. And, as of this posting, there's no way to fix them. It will probably mis-scrape your Megaman and Mario games. Press up (to get off the ad) and scroll until you find the NES. On the same screen -> 'Game Image Options' -> 'Keep image's aspect ratio' (or whatever you want) On the same screen -> 'Game Detail Settings' -> 'Show Only Title' (or whatever you want) Go over to 'GAME BROWSER' -> 'Game Launch Mode' -> Select Quick Go over to 'PATHS' -> 'Path for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)' -> Now find the folder where your totally legal ROMs are. Press up, go over to 'EMULATORS' -> 'Default Emulator for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)' -> Select 'RetroArch (Nestopia)' Press down, go to Email Address -> Click it -> Click OK and OK again (this will stop it from popping up every time you exit a game) For now, we're going to focus on setting up our NES goodness. In the settings, you'll be able to hide unwanted platforms, choose the style and a bunch of other fun stuff. Now that we're on the main menu, your cursor should be on 'Favorites' up at the top, press right and select settings. Do the same for crash reports and the warning about anonymous crashes. Click down on your controller and click ok. We should be looking at a screen that says 'Error Unable to check your in-app purchases, ads will be shown: blah blah'. (And if you haven't installed Firestarter yet so you can easily access your sideloaded apps - without digging in the settings every time - get on it ) Now that you have the APK, sideload it to your Fire TV. Eventually, you'll be able to get the APK. Sometimes that evozi site is a piece of shit and you'll have to wait a day or two for it to work properly. Go to -> put in -> Click 'generate download link' It's currently only up in the Google Play store (pester the developer to make an APK available for Amazon users!) so we'll have to snatch it. It will scrape all your art and make everything pretty. So, for this next part, we'll use Gamesome. While I think there's some way to set up art and a nice selection menu inside of Retroarch, I don't know how. Select 'Quit Retroarch' and 'Quit Retroarch' again. Press back until you're back at the 'MENU'. Scroll up to Video -> You'll probably want to turn off HW Bilinear Filtering. Press back once, we should be back on the 'SETTINGS' menu. Scroll down to 'Frame Throttle' -> Toggle 'Limit Maximum Run Speed' ON Settings -> Input User 1 Binds -> Switch the A & B button to match the NES controller (yes, you'll need a mouse to do this) Now we need to re-set up our controller for NES use. That's how you'll always know you're in a core and not the main menu. But look down at the bottom left corner, it should say 1.2.2 - Nestopia v1.47-WIP. We're inside the menu of NES core we just downloaded. Think you're back at the main menu? You're wrong. Now select 'Load Core' -> 'NES / Famicom (Nestopia UE)' Press the back button until you're back at the 'MENU'. RetroArch uses separate libraries, called emulator cores.Ĭlick 'Online Updater' -> 'Core Updater' -> (for the purpose of this guide, we'll do the NES) scroll down until you find 'NES / Famicom (Nestopia UE)' and click it. Press back until you are back at the 'MENU' Now, take your mouse and select 'Settings' -> 'Configuration' -> (here's the tricky part) 'Video' -> Click the back button on the Fire TV remote -> 'Input User 1 Binds' -> Bind your buttonsĪt this point, you should be able to navigate the menus with your controller Go Settings -> Applications -> Manage Installed Applications -> Retroarch -> Launch application Note: You'll need a mouse for this next part. u/AFTVNews has a great guide of how to do that with a free program called adbFire Set-up Check to see if there's an newer version. To Startĭownload RetroArch_1.2.2_nocameralocation.apk from As of this posting, 1.2.2 is the latest version of RetroArch. But, once you get over the hurdles of setting it up, it's one of the best free emulators out there. Is an annoying pain in the ass with a horrible UI. If you thought this guide was helpful and you'd like to reward me for putting this together, you can always give me some reddit gold or private message me a $5 Amazon or Dominos gift card :) Retroarch
