I've been watching your content for a while now and have decided to deem you The Retro Game God! Other content uploaders need to learn from you! You obviously care about the people watching your videos. Keep on making this upper level content. Your passion is palpable. And trust me we can tell.
Can’t wait to try this!. I’ve had a fire stick for over a year and I’m just now finding out you can do this 🤭
I always feel like an idiot and ETA is the only guy that makes me abke to understand this stuff
Ive done this awhile back but i sideloaded individual system apks. Never even tried retroarch. Also i did this not knowing it can be done. ETA, you da man!
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work. Thanks for the great tutorial.
I just ordered the Games G3s and with your awesome tutorials I will be Retro Gaming on my Fire Stick by the weekend. Thanks ETA Prime!!! You are hands-down the best and easiest to understand among the emulation/tech Guru on TH-cam and I hope you keep creating great content far into the future.
I have 2 of the gamesir g3s controllers, one green and one orange, I use them.more than any other controller I own and I literally have around 20-30 controllers ranging from Xbox ps4 8bitdo wired and wireless.
I have an older G3s controller (from 2016)... on my RPi3 it constantly looses sync on the USB and won't connect via bluetooth. Have you ever had that experience on the firestick or your RPi3?
Did you experience input lag on playing fighting games in retroarch using gamesir g3s?
Very thorough. This should be the go-to video for any newcomers to the emulation scene.
This video is going to be very helpful tomorrow when the mail comes, lol
I appreciate this video but I just realized a Kodi build I came across xenon build supports these games with the same emulators you use here and the games I couldn't load was due to using a standard firestick but I do believe the fire TV cube box will let you run pcsx emulators and runs playstation games etc
Thanks for making videos that are easy to follow by being extremely informative while clear and to the point. You really are among the very best that do this.
I like the older stuff anyway, so I'm totally doing this!
Looks like even an 8GB flash drive will store a WHOLE lot of retro awesome.
Woo hoo!
Adapters ordered
Thanks man!
Michael Thompson a 16fb will get you over 5500 games
Important info for anyone watching in 2021 - using the playstore version causes xmb to freeze and no longer respond! I’ve had to reinstall twice now and just understood what the problem was. Stick with the standard ui for now - cheers all and thanks ETA PRIME for all your hard work. I owe you a beer
I like that ETA Prime always say n.e.s. and not ness like most of the other guys are doing.
I really appreciate how much detailed and easy video you've made. My Firestick is an year old (not a 4k one), hope it plays some games without issues. Thanks!
I've been playing n64 on my 4k firestick all day. I believe you said it wouldnt work? Im totally upscaled and playing every game great. Mario kart, all the wrestling games, tony hawk games, waverace, excitebike, tetris64, etc
Kip Ster
This video is about the original fire stick. The 4K is almost twice as powerful and more than 2 times the cost.
I use Dig frontend and the robert broglia emulators on my FireTV. Seems to work pretty well. Even got N64 half assed playable with Mupen64 FZ. Oh and PS1 games run like a dream.
perfect mate.... got atari 2600 mastersystem, genesis nes and snes all running ...thankyou
This is a decent emulation machine and for $20 it’s great!
What's cool I can hook this fire tv stick to my xbox one tv hdmi port and use it that way.
AlphaMax nice!
AlphaMax can you use the xbox control when you do it that way?
I bought some Amazon items through your links. Hope you get the credit.
No more G3s controllers so I bought a Gamesir T4 Pro.
Thank you for the video!
Im a GenX, all Id need is classic arcade & commodore64 ... Ill be set. Thanks for this!
thank you so much, I was about to give up on configuration for the firestick. Nothing logical was working, so of course it had to be simple like using 2005 snes9x.
is there a list of the systems that do work....
for example does Mame, FBA or Neo Geo work and which is the best to download
thanks
Great walkthrough, good job, I'm sharing this one to people that ask me questions
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. The only bad thing is that my ps4 controller doesn't work with the firetv 4k, i can pair it every single time, but none of the buttons work.
Get a $25 controller like he has with the USB button.
I really enjoy your emulation videos man, to me they are entertaining to watch and help out a ton.
This is amazing, I can't wait to get my amazon fire tv 4k stick!
Thanks, I've done this on Fire TV. Also used an SD memory card as opposed to a usb.
you must have a FTV1 or FTV2
@@dutchkel Yep FTV1
Let me first start off by saying that this is an amazing tutorial, thank you for the time and labor you put into this. I do have a road block that I've hit, when I get to the point of scanning the drive, my USB drive is not showing up what so ever. This is odd because I managed to successfully side load RetroArch from the same USB, but in the actual application no dice. Any thoughts? I do notice that you are using 1.7.3, I'm currently using 1.7.5 as it was listed on their website as the most recent and stable build. Any suggestions?
-TKK
Going to do this on my cube gen3 later as it as usb for storage plus hoping to play some MAME and c64
Perfect timing, my firestick is gonna arive in a few hours
Connor McDermott it work? lol
2022 and still using your video!!!!
best video for this! Smart, detailed and clear. thank you
Not sure what anyone else's mileage is, but I did get this with the squid cable and SanDisk USB drive. It actually works great, but... it appears when using the cable + USB stick the power requirement is slightly increased so that I will get occasional reboots, even after just watching a video and not even using Retroarch. I did some testing and found that I didn't get any reboots when I plugged the power directly into the Fire Stick (didn't use Retroarch though since games are on the USB stick, just watched some videos and whatnot). Also, when using my 2A phone brick with the squid cable I also didn't get an reboots. Both were short tests so not entirely conclusive, but I know older Fire Sticks at least had reboot issues with original power brick (not even using a USB drive / passthrough) and using a 2A one fixed it, and so it looks to be the case here as well.
Also, does Atari 5200 work for anyone? Using it just causes Retroarch to exit for me.
Nice ETA.. always on top of your game!!
Using Lakka on the 3b plus after your tutorial. Thank you very much. I really like it. I find it easier to use save states and like the pre configured controllers compared to retropie. I couldnt use save states in retropie
I really believe that Snes9x 2005 plus works the best with the least controller lag. If you could use run-ahead feature it would take care of any input latency, but if you try to use it one the Firestick you will quickly see that any game becomes unplayable.
I remember when I first found out about emulators back in 2006/07 during my freshman year of highschool. Rip to Emuparadise which stopped letting us download game roms some years ago, the first place I use to download them from. I was stuck at both the public and school libraries playing games I had on a portable flash drive for as long as I could . Lolz...
I play Nintendo 64 flawlessly on my fire stick I'm almost done with Mario 64 plays great with a PS4 controller the it does work on the fire stick with retroacrh
Great tutorial, my only issue is ES file manager no longer lets you install apks on free version. You have to get $10 a month version.
I found "file explorer" a little harder to use but free.
How do you make a ps4 controller work?
Great stuff,
If I have the roms/games saved on a USB thumb drive connected to the fire tv stick, will they copy over to the retro arch app when I load them or will I need the drive connected to the fire tv every time I want to play?
You said N64 does not work on the firestick. Is there any update to that today?
tekken 3 looked flawless. im gonna have to try this with mk trilogy.
Great vid. Now I can do this to the Fire TV that you just posted about.
I CAN PLAY CHRONO TRIGGER NOW I DONT HAVE A PC OR A PS3 OR A DS ORR A SNES THANK YOU I wish it was on switch and ps4 doe
Thanks man, I have subscribed based on this video alone. Regards
Dam this is way too confusing but i think its cool for the games you get
Mine arrives tomorrow...I doubt I will leave the house until Monday.
@ch282 Not yet.
@@RynoDBones how bout now?
@@isaac2bands Still holding position on the sofa.
@@RynoDBones have you tried any psp games?
@@isaac2bands PSP was pretty unplayable. NES/GB/GBC/SNES/Genesis/PS1 worked well, though. I've since moved on to one of those little $200 mini-PCs for the front room. We ended up going through two Fire Sticks before giving up on them. First one was broken, and the second one died after a few months.
You never discussed the bios setup...as far as I could tell? Like how are they placed?
Hey ETA - Keep up the great work man!
This worked for me. Very helpful!
Great video!. Btw is there a list of supported bluetooth controllers?
I was missing the directory scanning, thanks!
Great video! Can I also use a Super Nintendo Bluetooth controller to play games on the firestick as well?
Awesome vid mr prime! I really love and enjoy all your vids! I have a question tho. Can I use this same "method" of installing roms with a usb external drive to install them on the nvidia shield. Many thanks 👍
which one is the most powerful amazon fire device??
they all work with retroarch I guess? I am mildly curious..the idea is neat. especially if you dont have to buy a pad and just use a ps3 or ps4 controller.
Thanks for the configuration tips
ES Explorer is now offering a premium service that is required to install apps through ES Explorer. Currently (12-29-2020) you can install (for free) through Downloader after downloading that way or X-Plore File Manager via usb otg. The developer options have also changed so that you allow individual apps to install unknown apps.
As always you’re the best. Thanks a ton!
How did the list of games appear under their remote logo on the right? When I scanned the games, I don't have the nice looking logos on the right.
Did you ever figure this out?
Try the video at 14:32 . You need to download the core for the system first, then the folder for the games to show.
Wow Awesome I have got to get all of this.
Great video, can you download the roms etc directly to the usb instead of doing it on pc. After formatting the usb and use downloader or not. Thanks
How do you get your Retro Arch to have easy to navigate menu's? Mines is a confusing mess with a white screen with black text on it. I have to scroll down or up to navigate. Even finding my game list is a chore.
Thank you for the upload 👍
Cool video ❤ thanks... please tell me if mame will work here?
Another great video, thanks bro
So I click the link to buy the squid otg and notice it's a different one but I said hey it must work since he's sharing the link anyways NOPE crap doesn't work with the fire stick now I got deal with it and reorder so watch out guys try the right angle one instead.....good video tho
What core do you recommend for Playstation one?
duozero00 I’m gonna try the beetle version if I get around to it - trial and error
I used ePSXe instead for PS1 - Works great
PCSX ReArmed
Kirin squid isn't available on Amazon any longer. What would you recommend as an alternative?
Ok i got this all setup thanks to your awesome video. However, I can't get SNES thumbnail updater zip to run. It will go up to 7% and then just drops back to zero. I've been able to get the thumbnails for nes, mega drive and gameboy but won't work for snes. I've tried several times. Is there something else I can try to get it to work?
What do you recommend for emulation
FIRE STICK
CHOMECAST OR
THE NES CLASSIC
Can you play old arcade games on it like wrestlefest and street fighter 2.
Hi I saw the video and I understood the video a bit since I speak Spanish, I have a question, Is it possible to install the emulator and the ROMs without using the OTG cable and an external memory? Is it also possible to play Nintendo 64 games? If someone could clarify my doubts please

I don't use a firestick however great tutorial either way you look at it because the steps of showing how to do the retroarch set up is one of the same whether it's on a firestick or on a box or what ever device that you find compatible. And yes it does sometimes seem like a bummer when you have to go down one by one but I promise anybody that is hesitant that as long as you follow the instructions you only have to do it once and that's it. Like I said great tutorial thumbs up and shared . Thanks Prime
Hey prime was up. Was wondering do I need to have my cable in charge or OTG. Thanks
The GamerSir G3s Controller looks Like a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Wow... this is very interesting.
I finally got mines going it's really awesome best thing I ever did with my fire stick but there's one problem how in the world did you get neo Geo AES games to scan that's the only one I can't get going
Bit off topic, can you run retroarch on an Nvidia Shield?
Yes can, and it runs amazing! I did a full tutorial th-cam.com/video/CdwNdLnUML8/w-d-xo.html
I like nachos. ETA prime is cool 2...
I've upgraded most of mine to the 4k variant. I think I'll plug one of these basic ones in so I can do this. Is the GameSir still the remote of choice?
Where did you get the BIOS folder from??? In the first part of the video you only show where to put the APK file and the ROMS, then you put it into the Firestick and SURPRISINGLY there is a BIOS folder. Where do i get the correct BIOS files to play Nintendo and SNES games??
Got it working perfectly will usb controllers work ?
Can you make an updated guide
Hello, I'm trying to use generic joysticks (wired) but the buttons on the right send me to Amazon shortcuts that I don't know how to disable. Any idea what I can do?
Cannot find that specific GameSir controller on Amazon. Not bluetooth at least. Just 2.4 Ghz with a dongle. Was hoping not to have to plug in a dongle.
its bluetooth and wireless.
I have a Apple TV 3rd gen collecting dust, can you jailbreak tvOS and put retro arch on it.
Great video! How would I setup a 2nd controller for multi player?
I'm not sure if bluetooth supports more than one controller at a time, I think that the others you will have to plug in the dongle or something
Hey Mr Prime! Awesome video but is there a chance you could do a video on an intro to mame emulation on the shield? It's doing my head in! Ta
OoOoOo! Lookie at that boujie unifi app on ye olde Hades canyon desktop! 😉
You still have to have a usb to power the firestick
Can you download everything straight to the fire stick ?
How hard is it to sync up two Bluetooth controllers for 2 player play? Or could you connect two wired USB controllers to get the same result with perhaps less lag since they're wired?
How well do Neo Geo and Mame ROMs run on the Fire stick?
Perfectly
If you have 2 BT controllers can you play mutiplayer?
For thumbnails, does it download to the USB or to the hard drive space in the fire stick
What consoles can this thing run? Specifically, what can it run efficiently?
Possibly PS1, GameCube, maybe psp?
Does Capcom or MAME work?
Can you get Sinclair spectrum games on firestick!
What model of TV box/stick would run ps2 games?
