Feedback and what should we focus on for the next Alpha?
I want to hear your feedback.
Which feature or improvement would you like to see worked on the most for the next alpha?

I really think that one of the most important thing to improve is the single screen, i've seen footage of iisu on a 2 screen and single screen handheld and its night and day difference in terms of quality for now And since most handheld are single screen, i think it would be better to offer at least a same quality of frontend for both types of device I still think scraper is important for the nice looking part, but having a good base and then adding the details seems like the good approach Hype to see what the next version has to offer ! ❤

Definitely the scraper. Screenscraper and igdb should cover most needs. A must have feature IMO is a manual fix for matching games (IGDB and screenscraper both use IDs for their entries). Lots of scrapers will try to auto match and if it matches the wrong game you're just SOL.
Scraper first for sure, even if it's just a basic box art scraper without all the fancy planned bells and whistles. It could have the best quickstart menu in the world but even enthusiasts will turn their nose up at it if they have to manually build every game's asset. A scraper will get more people actually using it full time, which means more thorough testing and feedback from real world use.
I understand you did the scrapper for daijisho. Can you port over that functionality and add support for screenscraper? Also, can you look in the places es-de uses for images and descriptions?
Yup! I will implement that, but I wasn't the one who gave Dajisho its scrapper
how long do you believe it will take until iisu can be ported to other platforms also thank you for all your work!
Ummm, I think outside of Android it will take some time. First, we need to ensure that the Android version is fully functional, and then we can port it over to other platforms
Hay 2 opciones que me han encantado, la opción de Scrapper que es la que he votado y la opción de configuración de inicio, me costó votar entre estas dos porque también es algo muy muy interesante a tener a en cuenta.
I get the feeling that one of the biggest draws to early iisu was it's asthetic graphicly, and that people getting to feel a piece of that ahead of feature updates is a bit important. Having heroes and icons helps with that I think.
Scraper
Personally, I feel like a quick start menu is a goal for 1.0 when a lot of new users try the product out. Scraper seems to be a popular feature, steamdb would be very helpful for customization.
I won’t have a Thor until January so the only testing I can do is in a single screen on a wide phone screen. However; I went for the scrapper just because I’m very lazy and the less having to change the name of my assets to match the rom name the better. A way to select your own custom artwork for the icon of a specific game with the app would also be nice. There’s already tons of sweet custom icons shared on discord to use!
Single screen experience, especially for my obscure 21:9 aspect ratio smartphone (Xperia 1 IV)
is there still a way to get IISU premium or what it was called?
Nope, it wouldn't be available for some time; first, we have to get the full launcher experience!
Nooooo I know it's not really something necessary and a scraper is probably more progress towards a finished frontend, but a quick start would just be soo nice for the useability. I tried the newest alpha on my thor and had a rough time getting things functional and didnt know what each tab meant. But yea ig scrapers are probably the way to go for now and a quick start is more suited for the end of development 😓😓
Don't worry, we will try to get both!
I think an easier way to add games and emulators would be good for the future, it's not difficult once you know what to do, but a more intuitive process would be better.
Maybe a button mapping setting for 3rd-party controllers
I've noticed that adding gamecube and wii through the standalone dolphin seems yo fail on game launch. Saying that the file doesnt exist.
Try adding the tan without using DS Mode; then you can switch back.
Scraper with possibility to choose artwork between several providers (Screenscraper, SteamGRID DB, TGDB etc.)
Lets improve single screen the previous alpha was for duel screen so
I agree! I'm really looking forward to using iisu but it's not possible with the current single screen. :)
I think also just general UX usability as I've found it very difficult to add game libraries and navigate the UI smoothly (on AYN Thor)
support for the backbone attachment for phones would be cool, i tried and it didnt work great
Scraper would be good. 1 thing I'm really excited for is the ability to set a music track when hovering over a game
I can't get my games to show up in the current state. And the buttons to navigate the menu don't work for the most part. I think making it easier to setup would be a great thing to work on next.
Scrapper, but would also like to a set up video for us old folk!
Definitely scraper.
ABSOLUTELY metadata scraper. I reckon it’d be good enough as a main frontend if I could scrape box art rn 😭
Scraper 1000%
