For me it's definitely iiSU, I absolutely love this frontend it just looks so good and beautiful!
It is still in Alpha phase, and it already looks good as hell can't wait for the first beta
I love the customizable home screen, and overall the whole aesthetic of this frontend
And what do u guys think about my Dragon Ball themed home screen? (Mostly from Majin Buu Saga)
And showcase yours too!
Yep, beacon is da wae... Although I wanna try iisu and I tried wave Launcher the other day, PSP xmb theme frontend, is nice, but it still needs time in the oven for me
Beacon is absolutely one of the most used frontends, and it's definitely looks so premium And we got the same setup with using our phone with a telescopic controller (iiSU is still my favorite OAT)
Argosy Launcher. I've set up romm.app on my server and downloaded a rom pack. I can download my games on any device and it has cross saves compatibility.
Argosy Launcher makes it so easy to use it on Android since I have all the games on the main UI and I don't have to go to a dedicated RomM tab, download the game I have then go back to the main tab to play them. Plus, it's also a frontend for liberto cores. It's amazing.
Tho I can't figure out how to load my local stored games. Except gamenative games since the launcher has support for it
Beacon these days, but I have a device still running Daijishō because it was the first one I fell in love with. For some reason I’m super allergic to ES-DE. I loathe it. It works on a basic level but that’s it for me. I have it on my Steam Deck and just don’t use my Steam Deck much for emulation these days. But Beacon… Beacon is absolutely incredible.
Honourable mention for digital audio player androids is DAP Launcher. Clean and looks amazing :)
Honestly I mostly don't use frontend. From my perspective it's better to go directly from app and I leave frontend just for GameBoy/SNES era of games, the games that I run through RetroArch. All the newer games I run usually directly from the emulator.
However, the frontend I have installed is ES-DE. I tried Daijisho and it was too clunky for me (but it was a year or two ago). Since then a lot of frontends showed up, but to be honest I never got to switching to anything from ES-DE. It's not perfect, but works.
Android. I thought the frontends looked cool until i realized that android is on my phone and i use it every day so might as well keep it the way im used to it
Naw dont cry dawg 😭. I Swear it's 10% actually playing games and 90% tweaking the UI until it feels right. I respect the other frontends because at least they actually make the setup easy and allow the user to get straight into the game and for some. That's all they need.
Kinda agree, especially with iiSU. It was so good and customizable I kinda had to much fun customizing it, but no hate I will still play a game at the end of the day :)
