Retroarch is available on the amazon store, that means that you don't need downloader anymore!!
Has anybody tested the same directions on a Google chromecast ?? And was it successful ??
QUESTION: I have an 8BitDo SN30 pro connection to my Firestick for using with Retroarch. My issue is that if I stop playing for a moment the controller will go to sleep. When I wake it, it will connect again but it won’t work. So I will have to restart my Firestick. Any help would be great!

Can we add two controllers for multiplayer
Tried this out for myself and it worked wonderfully. Two problems though; for some reason it's not recognizing my PlayStation 1 bios files. I have said files in a specific BIOS folder, along with every PlayStation 1 bios you could think of. The games do run, but apparently with compatibility issues — although I haven't noticed any yet. The same issue is happening with the Sega CD as well, again I have all the bios' but it won't even run any of the games whatsoever. Is there any way to fix this specifically using the Fire TV Retroarch app? Any help would be much appreciated. Love your channel by the way! It's such a great wealth of game and tech knowledge. In fact, your review of the Super Console X Pro was one of the things that got me into emulation in the first place.
Help please. In MAME I accidentally made changes in in-game menu, now I’m unable to play games. I uninstalled Retroarch and reinstalled but changes are still there.
what about chromebooks? is that a chance to get full functioning retroarch on them?
Will this work on the Amazon cube?
Yo! Streets of Rage 2!!!
Can get it install says staging then says not installed what I am I missing???
Anyone know if this works for firestick lite?
I bought a 4K Firestick a couple of years ago with the intent of using it for emulation. I never got around it using it, but currently setting up emulation on my new mini-PC.
you sound like killgruz if your covered up by a voice talking.
my retroarch crashes when i try to select a folder to manual scan. any idea? could it be i have too much files in that folder? (literally like 3000 snes games)
Did you try any two player gaming? I’d be interested to see how it handled two connections at a time.
I cant get roms to load from external usb storage, followed all these steps but nothing (works from internal memory)
Could you play nitendo switch games through this way

got snes working and played some demon crest thx bruv, i wouldn't have truly gotten it working so super easily thx to you, you were so dedtailed in every step to cover the situations regarding what we need to do, my goodness thank you, thank you so much thank you and thank you, it's ez for me because you simplified it to a point in which basic learners could learn it
but basically people, ne describe it from the beginning with situations that would regard what you need it for, and he helps you discover formats,and he gives you Mutiple situations in regard to a prompt and help you.
it's self explanatory and you guys got it so read it, he does help; and you can listing for the rest…. also no money it's op0tional
doesn’t show the table of contents for me
Does this work on the older Firestick? I bought the adaptor cable and the usb stick but the setup doesnt seem to work the same. Is it because I'm using an older Firestick? Great video by the way.
Bought everything that you put links to, got USB stick today and the firestick doesn’t recognise it? Its already MS-DOS (FAT32) but i formatted it again just incase. Still nothing. Any help??
I'm trying to do this but my wired USB joysticks keep popping up Amazon shortcuts and I don't know how to disable these
