I didn't buy my 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro to be another streaming box; I bought it to reclaim its lost legacy as a high-performance microconsole it was originally sold as. This is how you can too.
For reference, I'm using Projectivy Launcher combined with an Xbox Series controller. I use a 1tb external ssd formatted as internal to store all my installed apps and emulated games.
Android Game Highlights:
- Hollow Knight Silksong (have to run in 720p to maintain 60 fps)
- Hollow Knight
- Shovel Knight Treasure Trove
- Ducktales Remastered
- TMNT Shredders Revenge (complete with online play)
- Cuphead
- Sonic Mania (port of rsdkv5 decomp, would recommend the No Special Stage Decorations mod)
My Supporting Cast:
- Sonic Tripple Trouble 16 Bit
- Sonic Time Twisted (Use the Nvidia Shield specific apk)
- Sonic 1 and 2 SMS Remakes (Use the Android 14+ betas, they have specific fixes that allows them to run on Android TV)
- Sonic 1 Forever
- Sonic 2 Absolute
- Horizon Chase (its available on Android TV's Google Play, so...)
I've also got PPSSPP Gold and Retroarch setup so I can play retro games, and considering all of this here only takes up less than 15 gbs of space...
