The major problem with tvOS isn’t necessarily lack of JIT, but temporary storage area; instead it allows for up to 500kb meant for configuration data. The disk space shown through the web UI is a cache space. If the OS needs to reclaim disk space, it will delete files from that cache space without warning. This includes state and saves!
This. And despite the other comment, it happened to me within a week of loading my Apple TV 4K up with games. So, almost never turns out to be frequently enough to kill the ATV4K as an emulation device.
@@frostyarcade maybe, but I got around it with a $100 Lenovo Tiny. I can play more systems than the ATV4K (GameCube mainly) and. It really wasn’t that much money. I had one laying around but if I didn’t $100 isn’t bad. And I have full control of all of it instead of crossing my fingers Apple doesn’t nerf it out of the blue.
tbh, it's probably not going to happen for a long time... even M1 is complete overkill for 99% of Apple TV users. Maybe if it becomes a comparable price to the A series chips... but I really dont know about that. A18 Pro or something might come in a new one for more power with less cost
Nvidia doesn't care for gaming right now 😂 They have all their 'chips' in AI rn Also, FYI, the shield is the Switch. It literally uses the same chip (tegra)
If they did that it would probably make sense for them to market it with more of a gaming focus. A newer M series chip can already do some impressive stuff with Resident Evil and Death Stranding so they'd basically be selling a little game console.
Yeah if Apple did ever genuinely pivot to gaming with the Apple TV4K, the M4 chip would crush it. But they’d need to really build out the memory and power supply. It wouldn’t be a $150 paper weight like the current streamer. It’d probably cost as much as the Mac Mini and require as big a fan as that desktop device.
Hey John, there is an even BIGGER issue, not sure how long you spent testing this out. But Apple TV has a big problem. They only give Retroarch 500 kb (kilobyte) of persistent storage. What that means is that all game saves, roms, nearly all setup that you do in Retroarch is automatically deleted within a couple of days. For this reason, is why many devs have been avoiding Apple TV apps. This makes Retroarch unusable for longer than a few days. You will spend an hour or 2 setting it up, then 1-2 days later, it is all gone, empty. 🤦🏻♂️
One thing I wish RetroArch would do is some sort of cloud integration like Dropbox. I have RetroArch installed on so many devices and I have to set it up every time and my save files don’t sync. If I could sync my ROMs, save files, and the interface config file, that would be great.
If you take your time, yes, it is imo. I use it on PC and love using retroarch but have to admit it's very cumbersome or intimidating to set up for first time users.
@@MrSurfingPikachu yeah all that’s supported is some weird webdav workaround on apple only that isn’t that great. I would be great if you could just turn on sync, have it point to a folder in a Dropbox or Google Drive or even a home NAS, let it create its own directories and backups, and if you connect another instance of RetroArch it’ll just read all of that and set everything up automatically and keep everything synced.
The A15 is basically 1/2 an M2. It’s actually pretty powerful. This chip is binned in the Apple TV so it’s missing one or two small cores, but the big cores get about 2000 in geekbench and a full A15 is about 5500. This is as powerful as some AMD Zen 3 laptops like a 4700U. And the GPU is comparable.
Why are m4 Max? The m4 would run cool enough and would still be powerful enough for almost every emulator on the market? You'd be looking at a multi thousand dollar device, vs the fairly reasonable m4 mini price now. You literally can get what you are asking for already
AppleTV has an excellent Steam Link app so it’s a great option if you already have a powerful gaming PC and want to extend it to the living room without directly connecting it to your TV or adding a full HTPC to the space.
About two years ago, Tried for the longest to get emulation to work on Apple iPad, and the amount of hoops one had to do, let alone the whole “license for year” whatever, made me quit. Meanwhile on my Android device it took 5 minutes. Not sure what’s changed now, but it was a damn hassle.
Im getting this strange deja vu. The (blank) is an emulation beast is something I hear for many things. Like I got an nvidea shield tv just for the emulation and it was a neat way to stream things. But its major problem is it's horrible bluetooth range. It's so low, that anything 30cm away will have input lag. Why no review mentioned this is beyond me. It's a major issue
Would love to see you test out the M4 Mac mini, seems like a decent little box for gaming, not ideal for now, but if Apple keep getting Native ports stacking up, like Cyberpunk etc, it may be a good buy as a gaming / emulation box, esp how tiny it is.
This works very well on my 2015 Apple TV HD (with the A8 chip). Does NES, SNES, GB, GBA,GG, Genesis, GBA, and PS1 very well. Most N64 titles didn’t work, but Mario 64 tested well. Works well with switch pro and ps4 controllers. Only the most basic crt shaders work, but they’re great for pixel games. It only has 32GBs of storage though, so not a lot of space for a proper ps1 library. Edit: after more testing with ps1, I’ve found that some ps1 games don’t run at full speed. The games that are full 3D, like Tekken 3 and Gran Turismo would drop frames. The Final Fantasy games seem to work very well. Most retro arcade games seem to work very well. Metal slug 2 had some slowdown, but I’m pretty sure it was the normal amount that game always had. Everything else I noted holds up.
imagine getting the Wii working on it and being able to Bluetooth connect a Wiimote and use it through dolphin. would be one of the best Wii emulation machines I thinks
The thing about JIT (if I understand correctly) is it is way less secure and could lead to serious arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities. It would be nice to have access to that, but apple isn't just restricting that to be mean.
The Fire Stick 4K Max gen 2 is surprisingly good with RetroArch too. And on sale you can get it for $30 ish. Most of the systems the stick covers can be done on Apple TV though with PSP not really. Dreamcast is quite good with some tweaking with the settings. Also, ofcourse not cube games though at the moment Apple TV can't either.
I didn’t even know this was a thing until I saw this video. Gonna have to try some GBA stuff! Been wanting to hack the Wii U just to play the Sonic Advance games honestly
PPSSPP released a new version like a month or 2 ago that improved performance significantly, maybe that's why it runs Ghost of Sparta so well (I mean I could play the game from start to finish on the native switch version at 45-60 fps).
I dont know if it still works, but especially for MAC OS I like the Emulator OPEN EMU way more. It feels like an console ecosystem for apple. This emulator was the reason I like Emulation on Apple way more than on any Windows machine. I used it on my old macbook 13 from 2012/2013.
This is cool-ish if you already have one. If you’re looking to emulate on your tv, I would recommend getting something like a Retroid Pocket 5 for a similar price. This would make it possible to play on your tv through video out and as a handheld. This would also let you play up to PS2 and GameCube. If you want to spend much less and have a few more counsel options with lower resolution, buy one of Anbernic’s several RG35XX, RG40XX, RG34XX devices.
We need them to enable a HTPC mode for the new, similarly sized, Mac Mini. Let me use it like an Apple TV. We would get M4 which I’m sure will blow the doors off emulation. But with the TV-like front end? So nice
I have a Apple TV 4K first Gen and I don't know it'll be able to handle these emulators. It uses a A10X chip which is used in the iPad Pro 2nd Gen I think. There aren't many videos on it and I tried playing Castlevania from arcade on it which was getting a few frame drops here and there and even crashed.
Next ATV probably would use the A18 chip or whatever is used in the iPhone 15. I don't think we will see them use an M chip anytime soon. Unless there is a new breakthrough with AI and home entertainment in TvOs.
4:40 I believe the glitches you’re experiencing are just the game choosing not to render the world outside of the 4:3 camera. Banjo-Tooie however has native widescreen support (in-game settings) so it should run fine in that regard
How is iCloud integration, if any? The last time I used the emulator, I saw no iCloud integration. I have a 2TB iCloud and have ROMs sitting there. I loathe playing on phone or iPad, and I don’t like the fact that I have to use a web browser to load games to the Apple TV storage either. If there is no iCloud integration, then that, in my opinion, is the biggest drawback.
I recently had a problem with N64 games on Apple TV using my PS5 DualSense controller where as I use the left analog stick, the D-Pad phantom presses by itself.
i do wish nintendo would do something similar and make modernized controllers of the previous consoles and let us buy said console games in each console app and of course let us favourite saide games in console apps
The fact that Apple TV doesn’t have some sort of option to stream footage to an iPhone or iPad for playing DS games feels weird. Like so many people have a second device with the screen on them at all times, and with a touchscreen, that would be perfect for DS games. Just have the top screen visible on your Apple TV, the bottom screen on your iPhone or iPad, such a shame it doesn’t work like that.
When I open the app in my iOS TV, it looks nothing like your screen. I have no idea how you set up that blue screen PlayStation light background nor does it work at all
@@knuclear200x You say that as if phones dont struggle running anything above the ds. The point of the video is showing how good apples price to performance is. Yes, macOs sucks but youll live.
I just want easy save states and 4k with 120fps via frame generation... I've ditched my latest android devices, classic hardware, and handhelds to just plug the damn PC into the TV 😅
I own both a current gen and 4th gen Apple TV. I've never considered using them for anything other than video streamin - it's easy enough to hook up one of my Macs for unrestricted emulation if desired so I dont really see a point.
I wish the Xbox app and the PS remote play app worked natively on TV OS. My Xbox series X is upstairs in my office and my PS5 is downstairs in my den. I occasionally swap the consoles but it would be nice to be able to access both consoles freely using my network and the respective apps.
Nintendo will set up the store we’ve been asking for once the judicial system listens to their constituents. They’ll open so fast once emulation is legalized. That may take years though.
Or the opposite could happen, it becomes illegal and any person with illegal ROMs will be "ended". Coin flip that i would love to see happen because it would be funny.
Is Retrarch different on the Apple TV device than it is on the iPhone App Store? I have it on my phone and it doesn’t support GameCube am I missing something?
As someone who hated the PS3 interface, and out of principle for just copying someone else's design, I hate that Retroarch has that PS3 interface. I feel the same about modern retro themed consoles that that just look like other devices (e.g. vitas, PSPs, DS etc.). I know retroarch has other themes but I just don't think the PS3 one should be there. Its more egregious to me that people playing emulated games they likely pirated but technically own already on some old device.
@@iankslife Here is a direct quote in a reddit post from 3 years ago from one of the devs: "There's no official pronunciation, so either is equally valid, but we internally say "arch" as in "march"."
I thought retroarch could play anything. I guess it's back to gathering dust again for me. i need something to play Dreamcast. PS1/PS2/PS3/ Xbox etc etc. I guess that kinda thing don't exist right?
Why use a TV Streaming Box for this at all? You probably will have *way* better results with an Mini PC at the same price class... And yes, a Mini PC is usually a solid streaming box as well. Granted, a mouse isn't a great TV Remote.
Are you sure you got it to work on Apple TV?? This loading ROM part doesn't work at all. Going to the URL etc. You really didn't cover that well. My laptop doesn't know what any of those addresses are.
Technically wouldn't Nintendo have right to DMCA takedown this video for showing Banjo on the N64? Nintendo were the publishers on that game not MS? Its been released since by Microsoft who likely are less bothered by emulation, but this would count as a Nintendo game if you're. showing the N64 version? I wonder how copyright works in this case.
Trust me it definitely is not worth emulating the 4K 3rd gen gets hot and bottlenecks and fps drop within a hour or so depending on what your playing stick to a mini pc !!!
Emulators coming to iOS was such a fun thing to happen during the summer. Diddy Kong Racing on my iPad with the wireless n64 nso controller is pure joy edit: without jailbreaking

I thought retroarch could play anything. I guess it's back to gathering dust again for me. i need something to play Dreamcast. PS1/PS2/PS3/ Xbox etc etc. I guess that kinda thing don't exist right?
Just get a steam deck can literally emulate anything
Steam Deck is the best choice.👍🏻
Interesting.
Nintendo is going after anyone who puts roms online these days. Not sure I would have shown any Nintendo titles.
Sticking to my Nvidia Shield for now…
Why use a TV Streaming Box for this at all?
You probably will have *way* better results with an Mini PC at the same price class...
And yes, a Mini PC is usually a solid streaming box as well. Granted, a mouse isn't a great TV Remote.
Are you sure you got it to work on Apple TV?? This loading ROM part doesn't work at all. Going to the URL etc. You really didn't cover that well. My laptop doesn't know what any of those addresses are.
has no one seen a mac mini?
Technically wouldn't Nintendo have right to DMCA takedown this video for showing Banjo on the N64? Nintendo were the publishers on that game not MS? Its been released since by Microsoft who likely are less bothered by emulation, but this would count as a Nintendo game if you're. showing the N64 version? I wonder how copyright works in this case.
Nintendo doesn't care about Banjo regardless
Trust me it definitely is not worth emulating the 4K 3rd gen gets hot and bottlenecks and fps drop within a hour or so depending on what your playing stick to a mini pc !!!
Am I the only one who still uses a vita for ps1 and psp games?
A15 is not powerful
What are you thinking it's crazy powerful. It's a blessing in tv box market
They needa fix up there pcs 😂
Just retroarch huh
This is an Xbox
Emulation is meh, real hardware all day
I wish they use the ios and appletv os and i be able to use a usb or ssd . Th OS is horrible and not integrated will with ecosystem of apple.
Emulators coming to iOS was such a fun thing to happen during the summer. Diddy Kong Racing on my iPad with the wireless n64 nso controller is pure joy edit: without jailbreaking
Emulation has been on iOS for over a decade now lol
@ RetroArch allowed in the AppStore. The subject of the video you are commenting on.
A1427 model 3rd gen can’t even connect an Xbox controller : damn
this is an xbox...😅
Not a beast?
… and the game selection is slim and most of em r boring
