I have been trying all of the ICS ROMS and for that matter even the CM7 ROMS, but none of them are able to download or install kindle fire edition games from the amazon appstore.
For example, order & chaos, dungeon hunter 2, eternal legacy, backstab HD and more.
I even backed them up while using the MODACO ROM which they work on and then installed them on ICS, but they will not download the additional files needed to play and it says, the games do not work on this device and ask for refund.
I have seen a few people say they have them working, but I can't seem to get this result. Many have asked how to do it.
Can somebody please post a step by step guide showing us how to get it to work, Thanks.
Updated to see if anyone can post a nice guide for us.
I was following Android16 in another thread with this problem, and I would also like to see if there is a quick guide for this. It would be helpful.
I assume it has to do with build.prop shenanigans
I'd like to get this working as well since I ended up buying a bunch of the EA kf edition games when they were on sale.

Perhaps this is something you should discuss with the creator of Dungeon hunter 2?

ok after wiping my game cache and redownloading it, seems to be working. sweeet
i cannot find CM7, i downloaded from CM7 website but its only 82MB and does not install on my HTC DHD any clues?
its supposed to be only 82 mbs. then you have to download the gapps [google apps ] package. too install, you must be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. send me a private message and ill give u a hand
Has anyone gotten this working yet on the OUYA, and if so what games/ROMS? So far everything I have tried comes back with the error "The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images." Not sure if I am putting the ROMS in wrong area, wrong roms version, or what.
Works great.
You need to use 0.139 dats on your ROM sets. Then run the program once. Let it make the default dirs, then navigate to the roms dir under the root of the program location. Place files here. Then re-run, you can use custom dirs, but try this first until you have success.
Definitely not the place for this, but I wish the author would make a port of MAME 0.72. He did 0.139 and 37b5, but 0.72 was the fastest and most accurate version for Mortal Kombat games...
I am using .139 roms as far as I know. (Unless OldComputers has them all missmarked). Is there a way to verify the version of the rom?

I think clrmamepro can go through and verify/fix your ROMs or tell you what you need to do if they are incorrect. I haven't used it in ages though.
Hi,
im wanting to run game emulators directly through Kodi but unsure how to set it all up properly. I understand ive got to install each emulator individually or is their an easily way.
Then i want XBMC to run all my roms directly from external USB and automatically grab cover art etc......
Rom collection browser? or is there a better addon
Mainly wanting to run PS1 / N64 + SNES
Any tips before i attempt to set this up?
Thanks

Let me try to help here. I made an edition of retroarch with all the latest cores and it works well. Ensure you map the buttons and not use the default settings.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzSAltRGg2Raa0lIR193eTV3TEk/view?usp=sharing
Secondly, if you are rooted, buy the n64 and mdemu emulators from there. they work very well on the firetv.
For arcade games side the retroarch from the link above.

Put the roms in the rom folder and select the rom from retroarch. why do you want to automate the roms. Retroarch can use multiple cores with multiple roms. Once you load the correct rom with the correct core then that game stays in your history.

You would need a fully unlocked bootloader & although most AFTV devices have been rooted at different FW version. Only some first year FTV1's with early FW where capable of being Fully bootloader unlocked. I am lucky enough to own 4 of them.
There have been multiple new methods to root AFTV(S)'s. But no new methods of unlocking their bootloaders. So for now changing the OS on AFTV(S)'s is not going to happen.

Although there is no way to replace the FireOS. If you have a rooted FTV1 & eventually other rooted FTV devices. You will be able to change the UI. Just keep an eye on this project.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/project-aftv2atv-t3489239/
It should make your FTV function as close to an AndroidTV device as possible.
Y314K I was just given a Fire TV box 1st gen and was able to root and fully unlock the bootloader. I have TWRP installed, and since I'm just using this box for exploring alterations I was wondering if it is possible to completely replace the fire os with a pure android os? I'm having trouble finding tutorials and wondered if you could tell me if it is possible and if you know of any resources of tutorials? What do you run on your FTV 1 boxes? Any other suggestions for tinkering?

The above is still the closest option so far. There where a couple of projects a few years ago which you can find here on XDA where developers started to make a Cyanogen 12 & other FW options for FTV1's with unlocked bootloader. But development faded once only a small percentage of FTV1's where capable of having their bootloaders unlocked. And none of the other devices have that capability.
Most mods now are just launcher changes & Amazon service deactivation for a leaner FireOS. But every option still has FireOS as it's base. The AFTV2ATV project does the most changes over all.
You can find the old projects under both development sections.

Anything that could be run on a FTV2 can also be ported or modded for a FTV1.
Is the ROM for the Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition) available for download? I'd like to try flashing it onto a Fire TV Stick (Gen 2).

Yes, the device is called tank. There is lineage 12.1 for it. You need to be unlocked to install.
Thank you for your response. What I want to do is swap the ROM on my Fire TV Stick (Gen 2) for the ROM on the Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition). They share the same hardware specs, but they're intended for different international markets. So, what I'm looking for is the ROM from the Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition). Is it available for download somewhere?

I am sure someone would have full stock, but this thread carries a pre-rooted version of stock. Since you have to unlock to install anyways you might try installing this.

I use TWRP to make backups. Post your question in the unlock thread or the preroot rom thread. The only way i have ever been able to get the full stock bin file is to download it as a update, copy it out of the update folder. Is there a reason you do not want the pre-root version? you can disable root access, it may also being stock send you updates for the basic edition.

Thank you for your reply. I've owned several Fire TV Sticks (Gen 2, codename tank), for a couple of years, and they've worked great with Kodi and a few other apps. But I live in a country they're not meant for. In my country, I should be using the Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition, codename dozer), but Amazon in it's infinite wisdom doesn't ship them to my country.
According to the device spec pages I've linked above, the hardware on the tank and dozer models are "largely the same", but the UIs are different. More importantly to me, the tanks run a Prime Video app that doesn't work in my country, and they disable the Prime Video app that does work. I had thought of flashing my tanks with the dozer's ROM, but I might try flashing a pre-root version, and enabling the Prime Video app I want from root, as was suggested to me before.

I believe i have seen using the prerooted rom as successful for the basic. I think the only difference is the alexa remote.
