I've never even heard of this thing until this afternoon but after google research it seems like the colored controllers were from Kickstarter backers. The controller I got from Gamestop was the same color as the usb stick. Thank god because that black & green controller looks hideous imo.Also, I've seen pictures of the controllers in different colors, are those just custom or did they come with backing through Kickstarter?
Nope.No dock anywhere near me, just the stick is in stock. Is the dock necessary to set up as an emulator stick?
Link Those directions worked fo rme.So this is a rookie question but anyone know where I could find the tvaddon file for spmc?
My original download link was broken, fixed now.Thanks! Adding another to android file host as a dev.
Alright, main link is on the android file host now and it has mirrors within it. Enjoy!

No point. Think of the CFW as a fresh OS install. It will erase any updates.Should I bother allowing the Gamestick to update to the latest firmware before I install the cfw? The update seems insanely slow
So I went and exchanged this game stick for a new one and the new one I got definitely wasn't open before but I'm having the same problems with not being able to use the keyboard. I'm about to just give up cause I don't know what else to do. Anyone else having issues with keyboards?
I know someone said the 360 controller works, I would assume PS3 would as well.Can anyone comment on using 360/PS3 controller with this?
I saw a few notes but cant find them again
I think the ts used a 64gb one in his video. So at the very least that much.What is the biggest micro SC card that will work with this?
128gb I believe is the max.What is the biggest micro SC card that will work with this?
I covered that in one of the videos... the controller is pretty much shit.While I wait on my GameStick to be delivered, can anyone comment on the feel of the buttons and controls? How is the responsiveness?
I may have to get it for Fire TvNo, I haven't put my game on the general Google Play store yet. I've been holding out to get some more content finished. So far it is only out on Fire TV, Ouya, and GameStick - OUYA has by far been the best platform with just enough sales to justify the development time. In all fairness, I only spent a day doing the GameStick version so it was worth a gamble.
They all run fairly warm, I would say not to worry about it. I have 2 running pretty much at any given time. It's only getting 5 volts of power to it... If you're running it off of your tv's usb port it should shut off with the tv. It's no more dangerous than putting your cell phone through it's paces running high end games when it starts to get hot.Got things up and running, couple thoughts -
The dock is great, and in my opinion, a must have - it actually incorporates the stick into the dock and adds an extra usb port. The device works great with my logitech wireless keyboard with trackpad, as well as my wired 360 controller.
- Performance on apps is mixed ... some of the emulators run great, others not so hot.
- The unit seems to run hot ... hopefully it doesn't burn down my house ... but the dock includes a fan, maybe that helps?
Now that we have a base of CAGs using these things, what do you guys think about starting a list of Must Have downloads for the device? Since these aren't exactly Android powerhouse units, it seems like we could get a list of everything that works really well specifically on the gamestick ... maybe get a discussion post going somewhere outside the deals board?
I wouldn't see why not...Sweet! Thanks OP! I just set up a hold for the stick+controller and dock. My area comes up as silly with stock, but my luck, no store thats really close has both in stock. Ah well, pick up one in Chesapeake, then drive out to Virginia Beach to get the dock. Been wanting an Android stick and saw this a few months ago but no way am I paying 80 bucks.
Quick question tho. Would a USB to Genesis adapter work when plugged into the dock? I ask because games that use the 6 button controller, I hate having odd remaps for them on button layouts like on the controller
Awesome! I should break out my physical copy and make an iso of it.I wouldn't see why not...
I can confirm playing sega-cd games through retroarch flawlessly. Did an entire play through of Snatcher.
The snes games I've tried run great ... the n64 games, not so much. The best thing I've seen run n64 games outside of a PC are some of the emulators on newer jailbroken iPads. Not sure why, but seems like n64 needs a bit more power to emulate effectively. SNES9X is a great place to start ... you could also use Retroarch but I ran into some issues that I didn't see with SNES9XCheapassgamer expert! I very new to emulator. I only wanted to play snes and n64 games (I don't have money at that times) I have game stick on hold and ready to pickup tomorrow.
What I do next to play snes and snes?
Where I find all the snes and n64 games?
Thanks you all. Eshop charge you arms & legs for older games but still not all the games I want is available.
It's going to cost you hundreds to dump your own SNES / N64 games, not sure if you should get the gamestick then... also costs a lot for the google knowledge out there.Cheapassgamer expert!
