Will this compile and play on an amazon firestick?

[futurepr0n]

Hi, great project - I haven't attempted a build but was poking around for a sm64 android version because Im curious about playing on my firestick pro. If I was to build successfully does this play nicely with that type of set up or is it meant for virtual touch screen controller? I am not sure how you implemented it yet but looking forward to learning more! Thanks in advance

Hello sorry I didn't see this message earlier. Yes you can compile and play on amazon firestick BUT some users have encountered some difficulty compiling it on Android TV due to difficulties with Termux like:

• flaky input to the Termux app, including possible limited access input devices, like to USB ports for USB keyboards or bluetooth for bluetooth devices, or trying to navigate the Termux app using a TV remote;
• unstable Termux app behavior on some TV boxes,
• difficulty accessing ADB for troubleshooting on Android TV,
• and running out of Storage space or RAM space on the device,

it is possible though on most Android TV devices when you manage the system resources carefully. You can message me on discord when you are ready to try building the game for your Amazon Fire TV Stick

Works fine with a gamepad but with the remote you can only access the settings (and only some of them). You should probably build it on your computer, then connect to your FireStick with adb and do adb install -g. It won't appear in the menus (use Sideload Launcher) and it might not install due to permissions, see #3.
