Walmart Onn 4k Pro - Retroarch Setup

[@RionHiersche]

My audio is like a full half second delayed, and after an hour of changing every setting i am giving up. Any advice?

[@scottsmith4145]

people, dont bother running n64 games on this streaming box. Its cpu is not powerful enough. Youll only have problems. Use a recent cell phone with hdmi output to your tv and install a dedicated mullen n64 emulator on it and use a Bluetooth game controller with the phone.

[@rickespinosa6103]

I have the Onn 4K TV with Google TV (the version before this one) and installing the m64 plus mz and using a file manager to add games works perfectly even at 720p

[@thomasc2869]

I have the $14 stick version and N64 works fine on it beast

[@jasonsfpvperspective8934]

Use a standalone emulator not retroarch works flawless

[@DDDINC420]

So, do you know what version of Plus will allow me access to my external memory? I have no issue setting it up and I even imported a large part of my collection into internal memory, but that's only SNES and back

[@continentalcosplay1243]

U can access your memory if it’s fat32. There’s a video he did on the first version of this box a few months ago. It’s very weird when pop ups come up, wants u to format. Don’t. Ignore it. It should read it fine.

[@basicdadtech]

Do you mean what version of Retroarch plus? I’ve never used the Plus version.

[@joshmcgootermier2301]

Really consodering getting one of these without actually using it for streaming. Really like having a usb port. Edit: had considered the tivo 4k for the older version of android.

New Years special at the local Walmart. $20 for an A55 processor Android Box that will PROBABLY run Linux. My goal for today is to set it up to play Rocket League on my TV.

[@jasonsfpvperspective8934]

So theres a system update should I install it or leave it as is? Have gotten nes, snes, sega, N64, psx, and psp all to play fine. Some you have to loaded in through a file explorer. Some PSP games are unplayable to much lag for this system.

[@pauleveritt3388]

Install the update!

[@BelicTransporter]

The TV does run Gamecube games?

[@aceman0000099]

It will struggle.

How is the performance of the onn pro compared to the onn 4K for emulation? Is the price increase worth it?

[@basicdadtech]

I would say marginally better. Not a big difference.

[@pauleveritt3388]

The big difference is using the Ethernet port instead of wifi. The TV looks a LOT better through Ethernet as well.

My remote does not navigate on retro arch

[@pauleveritt3388]

Have to pair with a controller OR get a USB hub and use a Keyboard and Mouse with RetroArch. You will then have a $20 Linux box. Yeah, retired computer guy with WAAY TOO MUCH time on his hands but it beats have the brain starting to rot!

[@scottsmith4145]

Wait a second here dude! Theres no way,,, how is your remote working in retroarch? I installed the newest versio 1.19 and immediately opening the ONN remote does not work! Are you using the remote or a keyboard of some kind?

[@basicdadtech]

I think I was using the Xbox controller via Bluetooth.

[@shanefrench3447]

For some reason can't get any stand alone emulators to work on here roms won't be recognized off my usb drive seem like all have to put my roms on my Internal storage but on my nvidia shield I don't have this problem also can't get emulationstation to work on the onn 4k pro but it works on my nvidia shield

[@basicdadtech]

Which standalone emulators have you tried? Best bet would be trying to find an older version of the emulator and sideloading.

[@continentalcosplay1243]

You have to use 32 bit versions of emulators. Thing is, RetroArch 32 has taken care of all hassles with all emulator cores on their 32 up to ps1. And added redream and other things. Google has blocked visual pick ups like ESDE does for these little boxes. In case people try to create a plex server out of this. 32bit is the best you’ll get

[@AB-wl5ny]

Hi, can this device write to exfat or ntfs?

[@continentalcosplay1243]

I read it cannot. The previous version can

[@jongrant6635]

Can you connect two controllers for two player games?

[@basicdadtech]

@jongrant6635 that’s a good question. I didn’t try that.

[@pauleveritt3388]

I am working on this right now. I suggest using a USB hub with at least four ports. Keyboard, Mouse, Controller One, and Controller Two. Each Controller will need its own receiver. RetroArch will support multiple controllers.

[@continentalcosplay1243]

So 64 still isn’t usable, but at least Dreamcast will work full force now with 3GB (do we really need anything else 😂) and I’m glad someone’s talking about file commander like I do. I do use the free 5GB of mobi as well. U can save your apps on there that don’t usually get updates and u can just click on them and they’ll install instead of you downloading them. Also, let’s say u wanna watch a movie and ur cooking or showering and you also want torrent? U can torrent from ur phone and send the completed file to mobi. Just some knowledge to pass down 😊

[@basicdadtech]

I never tried torrenting from a phone. What app do you use for that?

[@NyneIX9]

@@basicdadtech Flud is a pretty good one. I once connected my phone to Ethernet (just for fun), and it didn't work.

[@continentalcosplay1243]

@basicdadtech I'll also use like YTmp3 app for music and video Downloader if fmovies got it or to get classic cartoons off the web or websites.
