What you’ll want to do first is bind your controllers buttons to RetroArch. Configuring RetroArchīefore we begin, you need to know that RetroArch’s UI can be a confusing pain in the ass, especially when configuring it for the first time, but the app is very powerful. The endgame of this tutorial is that you’re going to be browsing the ROMs in Kodi, and have them automatically launch into RetroArch to play. Okay, so, two things should have happened now: the RetroArch app will be on your Fire TV homepage, and The Internet Archive ROM Launcher will be under ‘Add-ons’ on Kodi. It might seem a bit weird that it’s listed under ‘Video add-ons’ – but this is just so the add-on has the option to use the cover-art focused ViewTypes in Kodi. When zachmorris’ repository is installed, you’ll then be able to install the IARL add-on by: Add-on Browser -> Zach Morris’ Add-ons -> Video add-ons -> Internet Archive Rom Launcher. zip to your Fire TV, you’ll install the add-on by: Kodi -> Add-on Browser -> Install from zip file. To install – you’ll need to download zachmorris’ repository zip to your computer, you can then use the ‘File Manager’ option in adbfire to push the. It’s collated ROMs that were released onto The Internet Archive and lets you browse games within Kodi and play them via the cloud. This Kodi add-on does exactly what it says on the tin.

As of writing this, 1.6.7 is the latest version, but if there’s a newer version available, use that instead. You’ll need to download the latest APK file and sideload it the Fire TV. RetroArch is a cross platform, all in one emulator. Installationįor the purpose of this tutorial, I’ll assume that you already have Kodi installed on your Fire TV, if you don’t – you can follow the same method as described for installing RetroArch below. With that out the way – this is a pretty lengthy guide, so grab some coffee. * I’ve used the Gen 2 box, Gen 3 should be the same – I’m not sure how performance would be on Generation 1 and the Fire Sticks. When setting this up – I noticed that there were many tutorials out there for this, but I couldn’t find a specific guide for setting all of this up on an Amazon Fire TV**.** Most of the tutorials were PC based, so I wanted to write a guide for those out there who want to set up retro gaming on the Fire TV. I didn’t really want to add a fourth device to the mix, so to keep things central, I’ve opted to emulate on the Amazon Fire TV.
I think that in an ideal world, this would probably have been done on a Raspberry Pi with RetroPie – but currently plugged into our TV is a Chromecast, Now TV Box, and an Amazon Fire TV. Something that I’ve been meaning to do for the longest time was to set up a TV based retro gaming emulator – and it turns out that the Amazon Fire TV is a great device for doing this.
