    Almost 5 years ago I ported RetroArch to tvOS (and all of its cores) and got the changes into the main code line so it’s great to see it be the #1 app on the App Store for AppleTV after all this time! Thanks for showcasing this.

    Retroarch on Apple TV! <3 Makes more sense to put your ROMs into the existing "downloads" folder though so you can access them faster
  • @dfkjbdfondfngg
    This brings me so much joy, and even more wonderful memories :) Thanks. I just started setting up my games there now
  • @dannycollee
    Thanks so much for this superb explanation!
  • Thanks!
  • @louwar96
    man im really stoked. I consider myself a former gamer and i no longer own a console or PC. something like this on my apple tv is just fantastic for some casual gaming and to share some old games with my kids as well
  • @cristhianortiz
    Can also hard close the app using the dualsense controller. Press the PS button twice to show the app switcher, and press up to close RetroArch.

    Warning ⚠️ apple tv deletes the files automatically (not sure why), I lost all my files all of a sudden including the saves after couple of days very disappointing
  • @joewozniak2231
    Finally a good reason to have a large capacity Apple TV. Definitely doing this with my 128gb.
  • @KeilorT
    Could you please show us how to load mame roms? Thanks!!

    Just waiting for Yuzu on AppleTV and I'm set for a long while! Meanwhile this vid was very helpful.
