@@BytesNBits I have retro arch setup but I’m having trouble with the Front End setup. Do you have any videos setting up any front ends? At work I’ll look later, or if you drop a link it would be greatly appreciated! Love the content keep it up and thanks again!
I don't understand because I downloaded retroarch and launchbox set up every correctly just like the video but when I click play it won't play and if I turn off extract zip file and I click play it opens retroarch but the screens black? I've been struggling for months I still can't figure it out
Does the TV let you use the play store? Are you able to side load the Launchbox app as that isn't available through the play store? If you're able to install Retroarch but not Launchbox you could try another front end called Dig.
This is the great invention simple and easy.. can you please let me know from where and which site that I get the games of each consoles and BIOS files ?
anyone else get a "parse error" when installing launch box to their android box? I was thinking maybe i needed to allow installation from unknown sources but it was already on. Did I install a corrupted file?
@BytesNBits Thanks for the reply! I've been using launchbox for about a week now, and I actually find it to be very clunky compared to just using retroarch. Especially since I have to use retroarch to customize the different core settings and controls, anyway. And unless you get launchbox premium, the interface isn't that much more visually appealing and you can't even use a controller to navigate. And it looks like you can even get custom themes for retroarch that would rival the themes you can get with premium launchbox. So, I'm still looking for an advantage to using launchbox, and the only one I have found so far seems to be if you are using multiple standalone emulators in addition to retroarch. So, for that reason alone, I'll continue to use launchbox, haha!
I have tried it on Amazon fire tv cube and it’s buggy. Wish they could improve the launch box with either retro arch already installed or emulator’s included
Batocera, is just too much to put on android, so is Launchbox (and RetroArch) the best there is for a game rom collection? Im sure different front ends have different pros and cons , I wish Retrobat could run on Android I don't think it can but I'm checking on it..
I think almost all of the front ends use RetroArch as the actual emulation engine so a lot of it's really down to personal preference which one you use.
Hi m8. Greetings fro Greece. If i use emuelec or batocera to my tv box do i need every time to type reboot upgrade or just one time is enough and then tv box always boot from sd ram or usb? Thanks in advance m8.
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.
@@BytesNBits Thank you so much for the reply. I want to use my tv box for arcade cabinet so it will not be easy to reboot every time. I will look at instructions as you suggest. Thank you for the help m8.!!!
Hi. I don't know! I haven't got four controllers to try it out. You'll need a USB hub if they are plug in units. Android does support multiple controllers so it should work. RetroArch certainly has a settings screen that suggests it can use them.
If the system can boot into Android you can install LaunchBox. The systems you can emulate will depend on the processing power of the device. Most will cope with the 8 bit consoles at the very least.
Hi. Sorry I don't have any translations of the video. If you go to the project page at bytesnbits.co.uk you should be able to translate the text on there.
@@BytesNBits I didn't mean the video in DE... but on RU-vid to add the subtitle generally in German. You can choose from several languages for subscribers. Thanks for a reply
Nice alternative to EmuElec and Batocera. Now, I would like to know if it's possible to replace the android OS in those X96 Max Plus boxes and what's the safest way to do it.
Did you manage to get the apk file installed? And RetroArch? There's a good alternative to LaunchBox. Have a look at the Dig emulator frontend in the app store.
