Yes, but you select your device under Providence not Providence-TV
Edit: oops, already answered. ;-)
Is there anything more to this? Wrote a new unique id but i still get the error message saying "com.jamsoftonline.provenanceTV" when building.
First time using xcode, no idea what i'm doing tbh. Just really want to play some classics.
Edit: reached deep enough into the thread to find an answer. I'll link so other people won't have to dig. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...o-and-sega-games.1933938/page-6#post-22198637
In short, there are more than one page where you change Bundle id.

There's two TvOS targets in the Xcode project, make sure you select the release build from the drop down menu before building and installing on your Apple TV.
Thank you for posting this thread. I had NO INTEREST in upgrading my Apple TV 2 until I saw this. It was really easy installing Provenance and the video was easy to follow.
Ran into a little hiccup and got an error "An App ID with Identifier 'com.jamsoftonline.Provenance' is not available. Please enter a different string." It was easily resolved by changing the string, which was explained in someone's youtube comments.
Now I'm playing Secret of Mana and Link to the Past all over again

theres a new update to provenance that fixes the controller lag, i tested it and did not noticed any lag in megaman x like before when smashing the shooting button
so i recommend everybody update
1.2.6
"This appears to remove any input latency by polling the controller states from the input callbacks for each emulator.
Controller handling code is now done by each core individually."

Have you tried Super Mario World?
My power's out due to a big, wet windstorm, or I'd try myself.

Just installed version 1.2.5, lol. Loving these fast upgrades. Didn't people in this thread return the Nimbus controller because of the lag? Poor guys.
I read somewhere that using the DEBUG version of Providence will result in poor performance, so upgrading will be a good idea.
One question regarding the Cover art. From where are these pulled? One game has the wrong (in my opinion that is) version, and several does not have any artwork (both correctly named roms and not)
It played fine before the update
On iOS you can change the cover art easy , I don't see an option on the tv app
It was fine for you before this update?
Super Mario World was super laggy for me, even with the sensitivity threshold set to zero.
Is the responsiveness of control good for you guys? Maybe it's the ROM I have...

So I install every game from all the systems available in provenance and it takes the app one minute and 27 seconds to load
When you remove the app from background
Not bad at all

Just wondering where you can find the changelog for the release. I can only find some bare bones description for the 1.2.6 release on GitHub: https://github.com/jasarien/Provenance/releases
Just tried with 1.2.6, and there's definitely a noticeable lag with the controls (jumping, moving left/right). I can somewhat quickly tap jump/move and I can have my finger leave the button noticeably before Mario begins to move. I'm not trying to be super-speedy with this (or super-picky), just a short, quick tap and I still beat the input by a noticeable margin.
It doesn't do this whit Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, for example. Doubtless there's still some measurable handful of miliseconds lag, but it's below my threshold for noticing.
I'm not a hard-core gamer at all, so I don't think I'm being picky. It just seems Super Mario World is unplayable with its lag.

Look at the video in this page above
I've not tried the update yet, but I will be. Just to throw my hat in the ring, I definitely noticed lag in Mario World as well. It was a fraction of a second, but that's enough for us speedrunners to notice it. Completely throws your game off.
So I'm guessing that in order to get the latest Provenance update, you will need to go through the entire install as was done initially?
I have sideloaded AuntiePlayer and tvOSBrowser but can't get Provenance to build successfully. Watched all YouTube videos and looked through comments here but I keep getting these errors.
