TOFU plugins for GameStick

TOFU was the XBMC 12 (Kodi) clone that was officially available on the PlayJam GameStick.

It has a plugin interface that allows us to do things on the stick that PlayJam did not want us to do.

Addon repository

Installation of these addons on a GameStick is much easier if you override the DNS entry of pivos-addons.pivoscdn.com to the IP address 178.254.13.17.

This server contains a plugin repository that allows easy installation of all addons without copying them to SD card.

Available addons

script.copygamestickcache

Copies all cache data from /data/GameStickCache onto the SD card.

This allows us to obtain information about the games that once were available on the GameStick server.

Usage

  1. Download the zip file script.copygamestickcache-?.?.?.zip (from the Codeberg releases section) and store it on the SD card
  2. Plug SD card into gamestick
  3. Start Tofu > System > Addons > Install from zip > external storage
  4. Tofu main menu > Programs > Program addons > Copy GameStick cache
  5. A notification will pop up: "Starting to copy"
  6. It will take 30+ seconds to copy. A notification will pop up: "Finished copying. Exit code: xxx"
  7. Unplug the SD card and send the files profile_response.json and reg_server_response.json to cweiske

script.start-adbd

Starts the Android Debug Bridge Daemon (adbd) on the GameStick.

Once started, you can connect over network to the GameStick with adb:

$ adb connect gamestick
connected to gamestick:5555
$ adb shell
root@android:/ #

Usage

  1. Download the zip file script.start-adbd-?.?.?.zip (from the Codeberg releases section) and store it on the SD card
  2. Plug SD card into gamestick
  3. Start Tofu > System > Addons > Install from zip > external storage
  4. Tofu main menu > Programs > Program addons > Start adbd
  5. A notification will pop up: "Successfully started adbd"

script.telnet-server

Starts a telnet server that provides a crude shell on the GameStick.

Features:

  • changing directories with cd
  • run programs like ls and su

Known problems:

  • Program output is not sent immediately to the client, only when the execution finished.
  • Some program invocations cause the telnet server to hang, and you have to reboot the GameStick to get it working again.
  • The cd path is shared across all connections :)

Usage

  1. Download the zip file script.telnet-server-?.?.?.zip (from the Codeberg releases section) and store it on the SD card

  2. Plug SD card into gamestick

  3. Start Tofu > System > Addons > Install from zip > external storage

  4. Tofu main menu > Programs > Program addons > Telnet server

  5. A notification will pop up: "Starting server on port 5023"

  6. On your computer, connect to the gamestick:

    $ telnet gamestickip 5023
