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:

  1. Hollow Knight Silksong (have to run in 720p to maintain 60 fps)
  2. Hollow Knight
  3. Shovel Knight Treasure Trove
  4. Ducktales Remastered
  5. TMNT Shredders Revenge (complete with online play)
  6. Cuphead
  7. Sonic Mania (port of rsdkv5 decomp, would recommend the No Special Stage Decorations mod)

My Supporting Cast:

  1. Sonic Tripple Trouble 16 Bit
  2. Sonic Time Twisted (Use the Nvidia Shield specific apk)
  3. Sonic 1 and 2 SMS Remakes (Use the Android 14+ betas, they have specific fixes that allows them to run on Android TV)
  4. Sonic 1 Forever
  5. Sonic 2 Absolute
  6. 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...

Hey y’all. I made a port of the Sonic game engine RSDKv2 targeting Android platforms at my repo (https:// github com/Moonfire2560/RSDKv2-Decompilation-Android). It plays the short, two level Sonic fangame Sonic Nexus. It can even run on Amazon fire sticks (not the Vega os models), so I have high hopes.

Currently it doesn’t have a touch controller mod so you will need either a Bluetooth gamepad or built in controllers (like in the Ayn/Retroid devices). In addition to that, game data will need to be added to the correct location on your internal storage (refer to the release for instructions). Furthermore, mod support is hit or miss, as character mods crash, but the 424x240 mod (aka the 16:9 mod) works fine.

I’m honestly just looking for feedback so I can continue to make the port better and better. If you do leave feedback, do mention your device SOC and android version.

Thank you all for reading!
