  1. Smart TV Emulation and preservation needs to be looked at more closely. Specifically for old Smart TV models, like the 2008-2015, as that was the era where smart TVs were the most innovative, and you really should check out https://discord.gg/wN9Nmh9pWT , a server dedicated to old smart tvs. More specifically you should try emulating or virtualising the 2012, 2011, 2013, and 2010 Samsung Smart TV platforms and the 2009, 2011,2012, and 2013 LG Smart TV platforms, Samsung provides bluray players if you cant afford a tv and LG offers "Smart TV Upgrader" boxes as well, you should also attempt to emulate accessories and strange peripherals like the cameras, motion sensors, and microphones, and the weird remotes, including samsungs two strange touchscreen remotes, and samsungs infared bluetooth sender along with their smart tv upgraders. See https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/TVs for various TV rooting meathods, and https://eloydegen.com/static/ubuntu_smart_by_skybladecloud.pdf has been developed, a way to install the Ubuntu enviorment on these old televisions, perhaps we could reverse the process by launching the software of the smart TVs on an ARM-based QEMU machine, and adding libraries for the support of the camera and other things. I have decrypted firmware images of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 TVs, in the discord. The 2013 TVs may have to be emulated via it's own VM.
  2. The ROM for the advance world port can be found right here: https://archive.org/details/gb-world-port/
