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 ...

What do u means that the url for download don't work on the Mac?

[@imsolobolo5568]

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

How do N64 games perform? I have yet to try any.

[@cptnquick]

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?

Having same issue

[@gregg5958]

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

[@jeffreysimms2318]

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.

Everytime i download i dont get the .bin or .cue files? Have tried multiple websites but dont get the right files

[@TrangNguyen-ne6qs]

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

[@erik93203]

[@michaeldunlop3486]

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

[@brunelob]

(Lo cambian desde ajustes / video audio / formato y eligen el de 60hz)

Excelente gracias

On my Apple TV 128gb I've got sound crackling. Can anyone help please?

[@randywatson3942]

Why does it delete my roms after a week though

[@smeyichou3514]

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

[@TechMogul]

"tvOS does not provide apps with a persistent 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! When this happens, you will immediately see that the appearance of RetroArch is wrong, as the assets will need to be re-downloaded." I haven't personally experienced this myself but it is possible.

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

[@01dt1m3r]

I’m using Apple TV HD 2016, all the games I’ve tried ran flawlessly. Mainly PS1, Sega, GBA and NES roms

[@DeyyVinchi]
