Hey,

For the moment, we don't have access for the Download Menu. It's a Apple Security for access to the Device Storage. Please wait with Apple tvOS 18 ...

Hola! Estuve investigando el motivo del audio que fallaba/ se cortaba etc. Después de mil intentos, en mi caso la solución fue CAMBIAR LA FRECUENCIA DEL APPLE TV de 50hz a 60hz.
(Es decir que dejo por defecto la configuración de retroarch en 60 y cambio la configuración del Apple TV)

Espero que les sea útil

Since this allows you to transfer files from the device via wifi, I'm wondering if non-emulator files can be executed for example Sideloadly and IPA's

Im having a hard time finding the URL I should connect to again. I have tried restarting the app but that pop up still doesn't reappear. Is there somewhere in the settings I can go to re find it?

I can't seem to get Mame core properly installed. Also the Mame games tend to have multiple files when attempting to load it

Can you set to display at 4:3? Does anyone know?

I was able to upload multiple items from my phone just fine and thankfully did not have to do them one by one.

[SeanBradley]

Every time I open a game, it stutters and won’t load. I’m using the same core you suggested. Is my Apple TV too old? I got it in January 2021

I saw a post that if your cache runs out, you can lose all your saves states on the Apple TV.

Is it true?

[jeffreysimms]

Does anyone have issues with the Apple TV deleting roms because it considers the data as cache and overwrites it so you have to reinstall the games again.

Where are files been uploaded too..? A sever somewhere
