If you don't get an answer here might be worth trying mobilism forum. That's where I get a my apks

Damn shit like this freaks me out I wonder how easy I would be to track down

Mobilism is good for games/apps. Most of the apks have trackers removed and have access to paid content. If you're particularly concerned you could block them with a firewall

You could use freezer instead

You can actually install homebrew on lgtvs which includes an adfree YouTube app. The process is pretty simple as well. Here's a guide from you know where;

Some days ago I've found an easy peasy method to sideload a modified ad-free YouTube IPK file to all LG OLED TVs from year 2020 on (so from line CX/GX on), but I got feedback here that with C9 TVs it works too.

You need a computer with either Windows or macOS (I believe an iPad might do the job too) connected in the same network.

First we have to create a free LG webOS developer account at https://webostv.developer.lge.com/login (you can change language if it's not yours), but if you already have a normal LG account just login with it so to enable also the developer account.

Now as a one time process go to your TV and from the Content Store download the app Developer Mode (made by LG itself).

Launch it, put in your dev login details and enable Dev Mode Status.

You will be asked to reboot so do it.

At next reboot enter again that app, enable also Key Server and note down IP address and passphrase both displayed on the left side.

Uninstall the official YouTube app from the TV (you won't be able to run the modified app without doing this).

Go to your computer and head to https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop/releases to download and install the latest release of Device Manager for webOS.

Follow the instructions at GitHub to setup a session to connect to your TV (basically give it a name, enter both the IP and the passphrase I told you to note down before and you are done) and connect to the TV.

If everything went well you should be connected so while having selected Apps in the left panel be sure to select also Available on top.

Look for Homebrew Channel in the list and click Install.

Go again to your TV, launch Homebrew Channel and there you will be able from now on to install or update YouTube AdFree and several other apps like ie. Hyperion for webOS.

Disclaimer:

The downside of this method is that every 1000 hours you do need to hit the EXTEND button in the Dev app

I can't wait to do this with my kid, he's currently 12 months so I've still got a while to go. Super Mario world is a must, and the donkey Kong country games too 😁

Honestly I think it would be easier to find rompacks with more seeders, Download batocera and then add your Roms yourself. It's not that much more work although it might feel like it

I really want to play the port but I do most of my retro gaming on the go using my retroid pocket 3. Instead I've been playing OOT using the redux patch, which does add quite a few QOL improvements, just no camera control unfortunately.

No worries, gotta share the booty!

I personally use adguard to block connections whilst also doubling up as ad/tracker blocker. You can also route different apps through a proxy network such as tor if you want certain apps to be more private

Looks amazing can't wait to try it out!

I've been playing through a few castlevania games. I've currently completed super castlevania, rondo of blood and am almost finished with SOTN. All amazing games. Rondo's soundtrack is so good!

Are there any others I should try? I was thinking of trying to play through the NES trilogy but not sure.

Nice thanks I've just completed sotn so will move onto the gba games!

Yeah I'm somewhat familiar with randomizers. However I've only attempted an OOT randomizer myself. Definitely tests your knowledge of the game and keeps it fresh after multiple play throughs. I can see how it'd be fun for a metroidvania style game so might give it a try once I've experienced more of the series.

The Contra games might be fun. Particularly Contra Hard Corps on Genesis.

I like vidya waifus

With mappable mouse keyboard controls I imagine it would be really fun
