All apps (probably excluding Netflix) are based on URLs and can be accessed via a normal web browser, similarly to Foxcomm OS. However unlike Foxcomm OS, not all App links have been found for Vizio SmartCast
Non-smart TVs
[edit | edit source]- Main article: Set-top box emulators
- Main article: Home media players
- Main article: Broadcast and cable communication systems
TVs with electronic/digital tuning (not to be confused with digital TV, digital switchover, or digital tuners) could date all the way back to the mid-1970s.
Just like other appliances with digital logic, their programs, including tuning and channel memorization, signal source switching, on-screen display, volume control, and sometimes other features, are executed either via discrete logic chips, ASICs, or ROM & microprocessor/microcontroller combination.
Unfortunately, these programs have rarely been archived and emulated, if at all. Dumps of the units may or may not exist, and if so, as a manufacturer user update (ex. Emerson) or as a publically shared file shared by a user orignally intended for repairsmen troubleshooting a corrupted OS.
LG TV
[edit | edit source]Certain models of LG TVs have a UI that looks like webOS and a games app: https://geeks.hu/tesztek/161222_kiprobaltuk_lg_my_games The external games can be downloaded here: https://www.lg.com/it/supporto/prodotto/lg-43LJ515V.AEU
- Paperboy
- Soccer punch
- Tiny Tanks
The binary appears to be the following: File Name : bobblepong File Size : 199 kB File Type : ELF executable File Type Extension : MIME Type : application/octet-stream CPU Architecture : 32-bit CPU Byte Order : Little endian Object File Type : Executable file CPU Type : MIPS R3000
bobblepong: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld.so.1, for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, stripped bobblepong: application/x-executable; charset=binary
There are no emulators for these specifically, however it is untested with qemu-user.
Other Platforms
[edit | edit source]Vizio SmartCast, Foxconn, Opera TV(?), and Syabas OS are confirmed either to have all apps based on HTML5 or Flash, and therefore are applicable more for the likes of Flashpoint to preserve.

Honorable mention
[edit | edit source]A huge Samsung Orsay ROM collection containing almost all Orsay apps called ULango UserAppStore intended as a secondary app store has existed, but has been taken down sometime in 2017-2019 due to the ACE taking down the main site as it contained a pirated TV service. When contacted in late 2022 September, the owner said that the servers are in a court room waiting investigation and time is working for him, so he may or may not receive the severs, and even if he did the samsung apps may or may not have been deleted. He said that Tizen caused a lost in interest in the project. Update: All ROMs have been found on the original Samsung servers, and it is most likely the case that he used all the URLs on the original SamyGO URL dumps however this may be partial.
Decryption of .cmk files
[edit | edit source]For Linux: for file in $(find . -name "*.cmk"); do openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K B1D5F122E75D757C79F48886D42F8E1A -in $file -nosalt -iv BFE932F9273DC2A0DFC93F0B8E7AC7C2 -out ${file%.cmk}; done For Windows: decrypt_cmk.ps1
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter "*.cmk" | ForEach-Object {
$inputFilePath = $_.FullName $outputFilePath = $inputFilePath -replace '\.cmk$'
& openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K B1D5F122E75D757C79F48886D42F8E1A -in $inputFilePath -nosalt -iv BFE932F9273DC2A0DFC93F0B8E7AC7C2 -out $outputFilePath
}
