Thanks op for the bargain

Mine just arrived , nicely boxed , controller feels a little cheap

Currently installing an update, the on to installing xbmc

varuka

SPMC is a good full working version of XBMC.

Kainy is great little app to stream your pc games to your telly through ouya.

http://ouyaforum.com/ is a handy website if you have the ouya.

A couple of suggestions for new Ouya owners -

Root and put the Google Play Store on it.
Baxy launcher is better than the stock one.
Put Droidmote on it to allow control from phone / tablet . There server costs a couple of € but is worth it.


I'd imagine putting Cyanogenmod on it would make the first two suggestions redundant but CM doesn't sound stable yet. I'm going to give it a while longer.

Check out iStream repo for xbmc
Use Yatse to control xbmc on your Ouya

Hi Quick question for anyone that bought this on the US website - did this come with a Universal adapter plug?

No it comes with a US plug... mine arrived yesterday. I just use XBMC from store and dont have issues. JUst use fusion to install wizard and set up in 5 minutes

Anyone have better suggestions?

HI Sir - were you able to use the US plug in Ireland though was the Voltage ok?

Alfagtamini

I used the us plug with a travel adapter and is working ok.

Has anyone got Netflix working ok ?

On mine the top of the Netflix screen is cut off and you have to use the mouse pad to click on a video.

I was hoping it would be as good as the Netflix wii app

Yes the adapter is 110-240v. But as mentioned, American plug.

Note: I first thought my Ouya didn't work, screen was blank. But it turns out my LCD TV is too old. The Ouya does 60hz 1080p, but my telly can handle only 1080i 30Hz. I am looking into some third party mods now that force the Ouya to display at 720p. Just mention this in case someone bumps into something similar.

Another word of warning: you have to put in our credit card details in advance.
I was flipping through the store and saw You Don't Know Jack! I hit the buy button AND WITHOUT ANY CONFIRMATION the game was bought right there (9 euro). None of the games have pricing information upfront on them either. I was a bit pissed off.

Voltage is fine. It's 100v - 240v

researching my 1080p problem I found this link:

XDA developer mod for Ouya

I have not tested it yet but it seems you can use the Overscan Fix to fix your 'out of frame' problem

I have also successfully added an additional Wireless keyboard to the Ouya that has a mousepad. You could something similar for Netflix.

Thanks I'll give that a go !

Has anyone tried sticking on CyanogenMod yet?

Not brave enough mate...yet. Just going at my one for the first time today (my Eircom broadband was down for ten days). Baxy Launcher was a good tip (although I notice strange flickering at the top left of my telly). Using SPMC as the official XBMC Ouya release had no sound for some of my movies and the latest Android release on xbmc.org was acting a bit mental.

Is it possible to have it boot directly into SPMC?

Also the first thing I purchased was "Nostalgia"....anyone know the best emu for N64? I know there's a Mupen64 but I can't remember if there's another, better one or not.

Theres an app called autopilot in the apps section, I use that to boot directly to xbmc.

Just a tip, I know when I first got it my card was charged in USD so buying a $1 game could cost me €2 after foreign currency transaction fees.

You can buy $10 credit off Ouya.tv and it will work out much cheaper.

Whats the wifi range like on this?

I thought it was pretty rubbish to be honest...ethernet is a must.

jonski

I have one about 3 months and have been using wifi all that time with no problems . tbf , the ouya and the modem are only on the opposite side of the same room .

Blimey when I had the wifi on it was taking forever to start up my HD mkv stuff........
