Welcome back to Retro Replay, I’m your host Jamie Lee. Today we’re diving into turning your Apple TV 4K into “a very capable retro gaming console.” First up, we’ll walk through installing RetroArch on tvOS—no jailbreaking required. You’ll grab the latest build, sideload it with Xcode, and launch straight into classic titles. Once you’re up and running, we’ll configure your favorite on-screen overlays, shaders, and controllers, so every pixel looks and feels just right.

But the real game changer? Save-state sync. As the guide says, you can “sync your games and saves across all your other Apple devices”—Macs, iPhones, and iPads. We’ll set up iCloud Drive, point RetroArch to your cloud folder, and test a quick resume on your phone during your commute. Finally, we’ll top it off with pro tips for optimizing frame-rate and eliminating input lag.

Stick around, because by the end of this episode you’ll have your entire retro library ready to play anytime, anywhere—Apple-style. Let’s get started!
