Nividia Shield TV (101)

Is there an up-to-date Nividia shield TV walkthrough for the Dolphin emulator?

I've done some googling and followed youtubes etc. but keep getting parse errors. The furthest I can get is to have it installed but it wont find roms. I've used Dolphin across various systems always without any issue but for the life of me don't know how to progress with the Nividia install. Thanks in advance.

Well

1) Download Dolphin APK from our main website and copy it to your Shield TV (unfortunately the Play Store version isn't listed for Android TV)
2) Install Dolphin like you would do with any other APK
3) Copy your ISOs to the Shield TV (or to an external storage device attached to it)
4) Add the folder where the ISOs are in Dolphin (there's a big + icon on the Android TV interface if I recall correctly)
5) Start the game and play?

Also, moved to Android subforum...

Thanks for the response, mbc07. That cross icon in step 4 allows me to navigate to the ISO folder but nothing seems to happen after I choose the folder e.g. no games are populated on the home screen, no way to select an ISO to start game. It just kicks me back to the home screen. Steps 1-4 seem to work but I seem to be missing something for that last step? Is there a particular APK that's known to work (or something else I could try installing to help the install? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Does the folder you selected contain actual ISO files, i.e. not ISO files in a container like zip or rar?

Yeah, all iso's. I tried it a few different ways too. I had a suspicion it was something to do with the root access on the thumb drive - so tried various folders - moving an iso into the dolphin gc folder on the internal drive. I also tried one .gcm but with no joy. It just never seems to see the content after I select the folder.

Is there a known working android build that I should start from scratch with? Or could it be something my end I'm missing?

All Android builds work. It's something wrong on your setup or with your ISOs. Could you test them on a PC? Do your ISOs load fine on PC?

I'm using my old iso's from a long time ago- I've used them previously on other systems using dolphin without any issue so I'm at a loss. Thanks for the response. I'll try some a clean install and take it from there.

Dont want to speak to soon but I think it was my USB drive - it was formatted as ExFAT Switched it to NTFS and I can see them after refresh rom list!!! Excellent- thanks guys. Looking forward to some gamecube Smile
