![]() ![]() I can keep using the same remote I've been using for years and it works perfectly.I don't know if there's a thread about this already, but here's my experience. I have an Amazon Fire TV, bought it about two weeks ago. Have no interest in it's function as a Prime streaming device, bought it as a replacement for my six year old HTPC to run SPMC and for the other bits like YouTube. It's hooked up to a powered 4-port Belkin USB hub so I can have a FLIRC dongle, Xbox 360 wired gamepad, Logitech wireless mouse/keyboard set and external USB2 HDD connected at once. ![]() I am happy to report that side loading ScummVM onto it produces workable results. After the loading bar you get presented with a black screen.It's running the latest firmware so games can be imported to ScummVM from a FAT32 formatted external USB drive, handy because the Fire TV has limited internal space and games like Curse Of Monkey Island are well over 1GB. Pressing F5 on the keyboard in game doesn't do anything.The app appears to underscan so there's a black box around everything which presumably can't be changed.I've been getting round it by pressing escape on the keyboard a few times which gives you the standard load/add game screen which works fine. The Xbox 360 pad does work, but not well.I've been getting round this by using the MENU button on the remote so I can get the load/save menu. Using the analogue stick fully pushed in one direction is jerky and you can't long hold the A button to select things on the COMI piece o' eight verb wheel. But playing point and click stuff with a pad isn't great at the best of times anyway!Īnyway I've only tested with COMI so far, gonna try BASS, LOOM and a few other titles from my collection later today. But the game is fully playable, and minor niggles aside this port works well. Did I do something wrong in the steps above? Is there a quick way of figuring out whether there is a problem with the unit? It seems to be responsive, I have not gotten any error messages.At this point with SPMC, Opera, Gmail, GTA Vice City working on my Fire TV it's more than proved it's worth - £79 for a TV centred Android box is good value. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work and was wondering if you could help me troubleshoot it. Plugged Flirc in the OTG cable and the cable in the Cube dongle Set ADB Debugging to OFF in the Cube's settings In MyHarmony, I added Flirc Media Player, then went on to assign the Flirc buttons to the remote buttons ![]() Programmed Flirc selecting the Fire TV controller and the FireTV built-in Profile ![]() The one I got was so tall that I had to struggle to reach the Yes button that was way below the bottom of my screen :-).Īfter that, I continued with the steps as indicated in the forums: It first went on to upgrade the firmware to 4.9.3 (BTW, you may want to revisit the approach of popping up a message box with all the changes in the new firmware. Plugged it in my Windows 8.1 and downloaded the GUI to program it. I had read on the web about the Flirc workaround to the native BT protocol used by the Cube remote and remembered that I have a Flirc G2 bought in 2017 still in the box for lack of an application. I recently bought a FireTV Cube and the plan was to control it with my Harmony 665. ![]()
