🎥 iiSU DS Showcase! Running Across 6 Handhelds
Hey everyone!
It's time to show the progress of iiSU DS in action, and what better way than a multi-device video showcase?
In this new demo video, you’ll see iiSU DS running across 6 different handheld devices:
Ayaneo Pocket DS
Ayaneo Pocket ACE
Ayaneo DMG
AYN Thor
OneXSugar
Retroid Pocket 5 with RDS Add-On
Each device demonstrates how iiSU adapts to its screen ratio, navigation method, and display configuration (single or dual). The customizations and layouts feel natural and responsive on all of them.
🆕 What’s New Since the Last Alpha?
🌐 RetroAchievements Integration
Full login flow using your RetroAchievements Web API.
Dedicated RA Tab with full account info, games, achievement lists.
Achievement status and box art shown directly on the Home Screen.
ROMs now show achievement completion % on the cards and lists.
All artwork and API responses are cached to support offline viewing.
RetroAchievements art is now used as fallback images if no custom art is found.
🎮 ROM & Home Experience
Brand-new Console-Style Single Screen Home Layout.
Auto-hiding main navigation for immersive experience.
Improved ROM customization, including hiding entries, screen targeting, and companion app setup.
🧩 Emulator & Configuration
Support for multiple emulator package names.
Per-ROM and per-console emulator override configuration.
Extensive list of console definitions and metadata.
New default emulator configuration structure.
🖼️ Visuals & UI
Redesigned ROM and App category browsers with new carousel layouts.
Single Screen layout option added (great for Retroid Pocket 5 + RDS Add-On).
Achievement detail overlays accessible via controller buttons.
Friend activity preview panel added for upcoming social features.
This video represents a huge leap in functionality and cross-device compatibility.
Your feedback has shaped many of these changes, and your continued support helps me test across a wide range of devices.
Thank you for making this possible!
And of course… alpha builds are coming very soon for patrons 😉 (on friday a new alpha drop)

I am considering purchasing the AYN Thor to help test for bugs. Your call: should I do it now (just got my paycheck) or should I wait?
Tried on my Retroid Flip 2 and have many issue with Alpha 0.0.2
Thanks for the reports. I am working hard to solve all of this!
I tested it on a Surface Duo 1 hoping it would work, and it does, though not exactly as I expected 😅. I’ll keep following the progress and supporting this project — I really love it.
Thanks, I hope the next alpha sits better!
None of my games open and they dont have any icons, im on the rp5 (android 13) how can I fix this?
How do you set it up? Do you have RetroArch and the core downloaded? Did you try opening the ROM first on RetroArch?
Looking great! You'll have lots of testers in the coming weeks when the Thors deliver
So excited about that, so we can squish all the bugs!
This looks great great. I can't wait for my Thor to arrive to try this out. I'll be trying it out on a fold 7 when you send out the new alpha, I try to leave some feedback on it.
Thanks, that will help with foldables!
Excellent work! I’m amazed at how fast this project is going, I look forward to it, great job. I would like to ask about something I know it’s an alpha but in the Thor the screens appear changed because it hasn’t been possible to try enough yet or is it for some other reason?
It's a software limitation right now because of the way the dual screen is implemented, but we will work on a fix for this!
I cant wait to try this on my Thor! This is awesome work, I hope everyone keeps up the amazing job! Thank you!
Thanks!!!!
