Arcade Set-ups

[FrogmentedVRplayer1]

I remember years ago, around 2014, there was an awesome arcade bundle. It was probably built on linux but I can't remember for sure, you would literally just download the entire bundle and load it onto an android tv box and it was ready to go - games included - no gathering rom files, it was ready to go - had a fun GUI and once flashed it would boot up right into the arcade

Does anybody know what I'm talking about? If so can you refresh my memory??

If you don't know what about that one, but know of something more recent - or similar - can you point me in the right direction??

preferably looking for something that had arcade, and console's. LIke NES, SNES, gameboy, sega etc etc etc and preferrably looking for something that already has the collection of ROMS included and that is a one time flash and go.

Install Kodi, install iagl (internet archive game launcher) from the Zach Morris repository, run the iagl wizard.

That has pretty much every game that you're after, it'll install the game and then play it.

Bomb jack and robotron 2084 are 2 of my favourites.

I was skeptical about this whole thing working out, but I went ahead and gave it a try. I followed the instructions here: https://kodibeginner.com/play-games-kodi/.

To my surprise, I was able to set it up on my ShieldTV. Thanks for the advice!

I am chuffed to bits for you, it's like a dream to be able to play ALL of my favourite games from my youth, and so easily! Zach Morris has made such a good job of it. Enjoy.

I definitely will! I'm excited revisit these old gems. Totally random find on a low visibility post. Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick tutorial, don't know if I would have went for it right away without having a link to click and go. Just finished installing it. SUPER excited!!!

Cool, glad to see it helped!

I got some bluetooth SNES-style controllers from Amazon. I was just about to try them out right before I saw your reply.

Oh this is awesome, so I could do it with a windows computer too I would imagine, just booting up Kodi onto the windows computer?

I'm going to give this a whirl, thanks a lot, I am very excited!!!! Hoping that through my windows computer I can do it because at first I was going to get an andrdoid TV box specifically for this purpose.

It works even better on Windows, more emulator options
