CAGiversary!
Will I need a usb keyboard or can I use the PS3 controller with micro use for the initial setup?
1. You have to have a USB keyboard.Okay, so I watched the video and have the basics down, but I have a few questions about specifics because of problems that I actually have.
1. I only have a laptop. Is there no way to do this without a USB keyboard?
2. My HDTV doesn't have a built in USB port. There was mention casually in the video of a work around for this, but I didn't understand exactly what was said even after rewatching it.
3. What is the benefit to the dock? I mean it's pretty cheap, so I might just pick it up anyway, but not exactly sure which games/apps support it, or which games that emulate well could use it. It just extends the USB devices I can plug in?
4. Any recommended sizes for the Micro-USB? I'll end up buying one to put some ROMs and probably movies on it if possible, and need to buy one of those SD card readers as well. Just wondering what a good size may be.
I had to use my small pocket knife to get it to click. It's a slider switch not a button to press.I might be SOL, but I picked one of these up and my reset button seems to be stuck. Is it supposed to click downward (toward the open space)? Bottom line is mine doesn't. I don't think I'll be able to return it or exchange it either.
No, I'm testing it out on an older TV which doesn't have a USB slot so it's plugged into the wall. I didn't really think about that, my new TV does have a USB slot I think so that should solve that problem.Your tv continues to supply power through it's usb port after it's turned off?

You pay at the store and they hold it for 24 hours. That's what the email said when I requested a hold last night.Does requesting a pick mean they charge me online or do they only charge me when I go pick it up? Also how long do they hold it? I want to pick it up this Friday when I get paid
No, it just alerts the store to place a hold on the item. I don't know how long they hold it before, but I would guess only until the end of the day, or maybe 24 hours.Does requesting a pick mean they charge me online or do they only charge me when I go pick it up?

I'm using a Saitek Eclipse II most any USB keyboard should work though. Do you have another to test with?What kind of keyboards are you guys using? Am I the only one who can't get mine working with it?
You have too reboot the Gamestick to get it to see the bluetooth adapter after you first install the CFW. Go into settings and then bluetooth. Turn on the controller and pair it.Got the CFW working. How the hell do I sync the controller it came with
So reboot it twice then?You have too reboot the Gamestick to get it to see the bluetooth adapter after you first install the CFW. Go into settings and then bluetooth. Turn on the controller and pair it.
I have a logitech USB wireless keyboard from ages ago that I normally use that wouldn't work and I just ran up to target and bought this and it won't work either.I'm using a Saitek Eclipse II most any USB keyboard should work though. Do you have another to test with?
One reboot should do it. I had to click on the text in the bluetooth menu that said "not visible to any devices" when I clicked on it the gamestick started a 2 minute cycle of looking for devices to pair with.So reboot it twice then?
Are you using USB from the TV or the AC adapter? If you're using the TV maybe your port doesn't provide enough power.I have a logitech USB wireless keyboard from ages ago that I normally use that wouldn't work and I just ran up to target and bought this and it won't work either.

Both work with my PC. And I'm plugging them in before I turn the power ok to the game stick so I really have no clue as to what the problem is.
I got it paired, thanksOne reboot should do it. I had to click on the text in the bluetooth menu that said "not visible to any devices" when I clicked on it the gamestick started a 2 minute cycle of looking for devices to pair with.
AC adapter, using the wire they provide that splits the power to the game stick and the other USB spot that's open I plugged the USB keyboard intoAre you using USB from the TV or the AC adapter? If you're using the TV maybe your port doesn't provide enough power.
You need to use Bluetooth. You need to turn on the controller by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds.Got the CFW working. How the hell do I sync the controller it came with
I agree, took way long, I can provide a faster mirror if anyone wants it.is there anyway to download the image faster, a 234 mb file shouldn't take anywhere close to an hour with my connection.
Uploading to several better servers nowis there anyway to download the image faster, a 234 mb file shouldn't take anywhere close to an hour with my connection.
I downloaded from here. Not sure if there is any differenceis there anyway to download the image faster, a 234 mb file shouldn't take anywhere close to an hour with my connection.
Here ya go:is there anyway to download the image faster, a 234 mb file shouldn't take anywhere close to an hour with my connection.
If you press the numlock button on your keyboard does the numlock light turn on? This will tell you if you have sufficient power or not.AC adapter, using the wire they provide that splits the power to the game stick and the other USB spot that's open I plugged the USB keyboard into
You're right, those lights aren't coming on the GE, I got it from target cause it was cheap and I figured it should work. If it's not powerful enough to run this cheap keyboard what do you think is my best option to get keyboard wise? Thanks for your help. I appreciate it cause this thing has been driving me nuts today.If you press the numlock button on your keyboard does the numlock light turn on?

The issue may be your Y cable, if the keyboard works on your desktop/laptop then it isn't the culprit.You're right, those lights aren't coming on the GE, I got it from target cause it was cheap and I figured it should work.

Thanks! Adding another to android file host as a dev.Had some weird files trying to download on the mirror links, here is one in case you get frustrated with the speed (sorry, time is precious). Mirror link.
The keyboards work on my desktop, this is my second Y cable though, when I returned the first game stick I returned all the contents. The game stick powers on just fine and I can charge and use the controller with the Y cable. Could I really have that great of luck to get 2 defective Y cables from 2 different stores? LolThe issue may be your Y cable, if the keyboard works on your desktop/laptop then it isn't the culprit.
Try using the AC adapter on the usb plug and plug it into your wall. The USB port on your tv may have only enough power to supply to the stick and not the keyboard as well.The keyboards work on my desktop, this is my second Y cable though, when I returned the first game stick I returned all the contents.

I didn't specify how to do that due to not wanting the video taken down by the mpaa lol. Go here, but sadly it seems like it's down right now (possibly too much internet traffic) http://addons.tvaddons.ag/The Gamestick and separate controller that I picked up have definitely been used before, but it works fine so I honestly don't care too much. Setting everything up now, but in the video it mentions in SPMC about an add-on called Genesis but I don't see it...am I missing something?
Also, I've seen pictures of the controllers in different colors, are those just custom or did they come with backing through Kickstarter?
Thats how I had it hooked up, I don't have a USB port on my TV.Try using the AC adapter on the usb plug and plug it into your wall. The USB port on your tv may have only enough power to supply to the stick and not the keyboard as well.
Get RetroArch, has a TON of emulators built into it and they are all the newest versions.Is anyone having any luck with emulators from the Google Play Store? I've tried ClassicBoy and it crashes when I load an NES game.
Ehh, I'm all out of ideas then... Maybe try it on someone else's tv to set it up? Then sync your bluetooth devices so you don't need the USB port possibly?Thanks how I had it hooked up, I don't have a USB port on my TV.
I actually tried 3 TVs! Lol I'm at the point where this thing has kicked my ass and I'm giving up soon lol what model keyboard are you using?Ehh, I'm all out of ideas then... Maybe try it on someone else's tv to set it up? Then sync your bluetooth devices so you don't need the USB port possibly?
