How do I download a Rom to a Gameboy Emulator that I installed on an android tv?

by wagninger

I downloaded an emulator, but opera can't download stuff it seems... And I don't know how I could access the file system and put roms on it.

If you also have an Android phone, use ES File Explorer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

If you browser that link from a web browser, while logged into google, it will let you install it on both your phone and android tv.

Then download the rom onto your phone, and use es file explorer's SEND option to send it to the ES File Explorer that's open on-screen on your TV.

There's also ADB. Enable developer options on the TV, then connect to it from your computer using:

adb connect {ip address of TV}

You can then send the files using:

adb push {path to file} /sdcard/Download/

Or just install the apk using adb:

adb install {path to apk file on your computer}

Okay! Apparently you have to download a file browser, connect a USB stick, copy it over and that will do it.

You can also use Teamviewer to copy files over to your Android TV.

Okay, got it working! But the processor seems rather slow... Just from playing pokemon, it took a couple of seconds to register some button presses and it crashed on me twice. Not a cool experience...
