I have released ColEm-Android 2.9.2, an updated version of my ColecoVision (http://www.aep-emu.de/Sections-req-viewarticle-artid-70.html) emulator with support for GoogleTV:

The main changes include above mentioned GoogleTV support for ARM-based devices running Android 4.x, such as LG G2/G3 TVs, and the switch to the native sound API, to minimize latency and improve performance. I have made many smaller changes as well, bringing ColEm (http://fms.komkon.org/ColEm/) in line with my other emulators updated over the last two weeks.



ColEm now runs on GoogleTVs updated to Android 4.x (LG G2/G3).
Now defaulting to OpenSLES native audio, for minimal latency.
Now recycling bitmaps to prevent Bitmap.nativeCreate() crashes.
Added optional grid view to the File Selector, default for GoogleTVs.
Added extra folder and cartridge icons to the File Selector.
Added "Audio Rate" setting, for controlling sampling rate.
Added "Native Audio" setting, for disabling OpenSLES, if needed.
No longer requiring touchscreen support from the Android device.
Fixed icons not being shown for File Selector entries with real names.
Fixed audio initialization always setting 100ms latency.
Fixed audio pause/resume when activity pauses or resumes.
Fixed inconsistencies during replay.
Refactored audio control between Java (http://java.com/de/) and native code.
Removed logging code from record/replay.
