Not sure if anyone has seen this done before, but the iPhone/iPad combo has pulled off a pretty cool trick for emulating a SNES.
Because I'm new, the site won't let me link, but there's an emulator that allows you to use the iPad as the display, and the iPhone replicate the controller.
I'd love to see this done with an Android tablet/phone combo interfacing via bluetooth. Even if we couldn't get perfect controller replications, a generic bluetooth control interface would be kind of cool.
I'm currently using a rooted Nook Color and a Droid Incredible. Anyone have any suggestions for how this could be done?
Edit: The app for the iPad is called SNES HD.
Hi all,
I just received my CS968 last night and while everything works quite well, the interface for android is definitely built for touch. How do you work around this with only having a remote? Any apps you recommend?
For example, how do I drag/rearrange icons around on the "desktop"?
Are there alternatives to the stock launcher that's better for a media player device? TVLauncher 2.0 seemed to be the launcher everyone used but the developer seems to have abandoned it.
Also, apps like Hulu and Netflix seem to require switching to "mouse" mode on the remote to navigate or in the case of netflix, play a tv episode. Any suggestions for workarounds?
Thanks.
Get an air mouse/keyboard, I like the Mele F10 Pro and the Measy RC11

Exactly. Air mouse with keyboard is the key. F10 and RC11(personally use one) are IMO the best. Of course you can plug a keyboard and a mouse too.

Its posible to make zoom-in zoom-out (Like I can do with two simultaneus touch on a phone) ?
you can plug in a normal mouse in the otg usb port and use this as in a PC, you can drag zoom as you wish
A good thing about Android is that you have a more powerful system than what you get from an Apple TV, but sometimes all you want is a set-top box, that can be as simple to control as that Apple TV, My guess is that Android TV is more or less set up to be controlled exclusively with a remote, and that's what many of us really want.

Well, its what our wives want
Android on a tv using a remote/mouse thing isn't wife friendly. (no offence to female tech heads )
i got this great hardware http://www.netxeon.com/en/goods.php?id=50
BUT the UI and the apps are crappy? any suggestion on how to change the UI?
thanks
Love the Fire TV interface but hate how restrictive android is. Would Like a MINIX android box but want to know if there are any Roms or launchers like the fire TV that work on it? Thanks
Duplicate: mods please delete
None that I have personally seen, I have the Minix and think the included launcher is pretty good but I use the Android TV Launcher, SquareHome is also a pretty good UI for the TV. There's lots of them just go to the Google Store and search for TV Launcher but I think you'll be the happiest with Google's Android TV Launcher. http://www.androidauthority.com/android-tv-launcher-play-store-575473/
Hi, I own an LG TV WebOS 3.5 I was wondering if there is any way to play nes games through emulation, I wonder if there is some kind of WebOS app Nes emulator? Yeah I know I could actually steam my phone though MirrorShare but there is a huge delay, it will be a lot different if I could play directly from the TV. Also I know that buy an Android TV (Mi Box for example) would do the trick. But well, I was just wondering.
Yes, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/web-os/general/retroarch-libretro-emulation-frontend-t3898293
