(Solved) [tvOS] 1.8.8 crashing

TvOS 13.4.5 unc0ver. App installs and loads fine once. However, it crashes when reopened. Tried a few times and always crashes on 2nd attempt.

App works fine when in unjailbroken state

@Trebrick Did you install it from my repo, from my IPA, or from YoshiSuga’s IPA (i.e. the official one on the libretro buildbot)?

I didn’t know your repo had an ipa? I only see iOS? But yes using the official

So you’re using the official IPA?

You can just use my repo if you’re jailbroken…


I don’t have an AppleTV to test on, so it would be great if you could give me some feedback on my repo version, like if it works at all! :wink:

Yes the official. Sure I’ll test yours out, thanks. I just gotta find it

The Cydia repo version is what I really want to have tested… I don’t even know if the tvOS version on it works or not!

Just add that source to Cydia, install the AppleTV version, and report back… :wink:

Ok, I managed to find the culprit… My RetroArch Cleaner was somehow making the RetroArchTV package disappear!

Could you try it now? :smile:

Cleaned to well apparently lol yah I see it now. I’ll check it out.have to rejb first. Hey noticed you had the provenancetv app too. Any differences there? And maybe you have an idea why mupenplus works fine in provenance but has all kinds of black texture glitches in retroarch mupen?

Yeah, thanks to you I noticed I didn’t rename the TV version of Provenance… I hope you can test that, too!


I think the glitches are because of a bad OpenGL ES 3 implementation…

I tried to compile mupen64plus with many options to re-enable it correctly, to no avail…

@jet082 was the one doing the compilation fix for iOS 64-bit before his laptop crashed, maybe he could help once he gets his computer back!

Just weird provenance has it figured out but not retroarch. Can’t wait for jet to be back on the scene so he can help hopefully. Hey dumb question maybe but since the file is in your Cydia repo and therefor a deb file. How do I go about converting to an ipa so I can send it to my appletv. The atv equivalent to cydia(nitotv) wont load your repo

Did you try http://johan.margueritte.free.fr/repo without a “s” at http? Some package managers like to add it but my website is not configured for https…

Yah tried no “s” think its a bit stingy in what repos can be added

Ok, I’m having quite a hard time finding the nitoTV repo structure, but it’s not too far from a Cydia repo…

Can you try to add the source again now? (And tell me if there’s some kind of error message that I could make sense of, if there is one?)


BTW, what’s your AppleTV OS version? Is it 64-bit?

Finally someone helped me test this, so really, thanks to YOU! :smiley:


BTW I have more cores coming up to the tvOS buildbot, and all the latest versions of the ones there…
