EmulationStation on Android is AMAZING.

Күн бұрынES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) has been ported over to Android, and it provides a seamless, robust frontend experience that rivals any other frontend out there. In this video I'll show you how to install and configure the app, plus how to make it your primary launcher, too.
UPDATE: ES-DE is no longer on the Amazon Appstore, but available directly from the developer via their Patreon as a one-time purchase. Here is an updated video: • EmulationStation Updat...

Because otherwise it will for sure not show up in the app.

If anyone gets stuck booting a rom with a standalone emulator, the folders are case sensitive. so it needs to be ROMs not ROMS and psx not PSX, when setting up automatically DE won't see this and you will have to change it yourself. Then you will need to specify the case correct version in the emulators

I'm currently setting this up to try it out, but my gut feeling is that using ES as a PC version ported to Android and not an Android App version of ES makes it challenging to use it as a default Launcher. I think it would tip the scale highly if it had the native home app integration and Android apps integration in it's interface. Otherwise, Daijisho still has the high ground when it comes to Android IMO. It's a great step towards a dream coming true for those who use their android device for emulation though ! :)

I was going to get another Retro device, but had to replace my phone first. So I decided to use Retroarch and ES-DE on my new S24 Ultra and a new 8bitDo SN30 Pro. I bought a dock to use sometimes it with my TV via Samsung Dex. Honestly, i'm impressed with emulation with this setup With the Phone + Controller + clip setup, it's pretty great; although i haven't tested above PSX. Using the Tv, I definitely need the dock because casting wirelessly has noticeable to severe lag even on NES. I'm happy with this setup with ES-DE; if it wasn't on Andoid I probably would have picked up an Odin. Thanks to your videos I was pretty familiar with using Retroarch and translating that usability to Android was much smoother than it would have been otherwise.

Hey Russ have you ever thought of making a Playnite guide? I installed it and I'm using it on a windows machine with my pc and emulation library as a couch gaming setup on a TV, the good thing is because it's highly customizable, I was even able to get cover images for hack roms that i never got to on emulationstation on batocera, theres a full screen mode that can be controlled with game controllers. The only thing that is kind of "hard" is because you have to customize all the standalone emulators with things like shortcuts for closing the game like the star-select defaults of ES on batocera, but that depends from person to person, I'm really enjoying it so far.

Great video! Grabbed the app as soon as I watched your video. One thing I'm unsure of though, on my Odin Lite I'm having to manually quit Retroarch before you can launch another game through ES-DE, so it seems inferior to Dajisho, which does this automatically. Is there a way to fix this that I'm missing?

Hey Russ, much of your awesome videos have helped through many a system set-ups so I come seeking your wisdom again. I am using ES-DE on my Odin 2 to play my MAME roms however the core that allows me to play both Killer Instinct games (MAME-2003) is not showing up as a available core even though I have it downloaded and working on my Retroarch Aarch64. Any ideas on how to manually add the core? Or another core that would play those two games? Thanks for all the hard work and legend content!

I really want an Odin 2. It seems like this is the best season to get one.

Very nice... but does it display folders (and subfolders) when you have your games neatly sorted out in folders within each system? As it does on linux? If so, I'm getting a 405m right now!

So would you stick to Daijishō or go with ES? I'm using a lot of RetroBat and Batocera which both use ES in the background, so using ES means that your folders and ROMs stay all the same, also no need for scraping. I'm using LaunchBox on my main PC but their Android version isn't the best for handheld, at least for me when I tried using it some years ago, might be better nowadays.

Is the new review for the rg556 coming soon? I would like to see what you think after having it for awhile. Especially before it releases. I might preorder

Hi, thanks for the great video, I wanted to ask you, can you put your own music in the background?
