Next Focus: Scraper + Bug Fixes
Now that the public alpha is out and the feedback is coming in, the next focus will be two things:
1. The metadata scraper (covers, titles, info, background art, etc.)
We already have a dev account in https://www.screenscraper.fr
And we already we are looking into https://www.steamgriddb.com/
2. Fixing the bugs reported in this alpha, including UI issues, dual-screen behavior, and SAF problems.
We already have a new version we are testing that solves all navigation issues in iiSU DS Mode
This will be the main direction for the next cycle.
And starting now:
Patrons / people supporting iiSU will get new builds every two weeks.
Everyone else will get monthly public builds.
I want to keep development steady and transparent, and give supporters faster access while still providing public releases on a regular schedule.
Thank you all for the feedback and support
Sapphire 💙

Awesome, thank you so much! Both are fantastic scrappers looking forward to it, because manually putting in metadata and images with the amount of consoles and games I have on my Thor was too much lol.
Thats why he's the goat! The GOAT!!
Keep it up, sport! I bet this project will come out awesome!
You are the Best!
Thank you for being transparent and providing such frequent build updates moving forward. Will there be a way of updating via something like Obtainium instead of manually doing it each time?
I have the latest beta set in my Obtanium app, so you're good to go.
How long do you believe it will take until alpha 0.0.4 release, also thanks for all your work!
We will have two versions for patrons before the 0.0.4 public release! So, in less than a month, we will have 0.0.4!. Maybe by Christmas!? 🤔🤫
Will iisu be available on the anbernic rgds? I’m having a hard time convincing some friends to get the Thor and that’s a more affordable dual screen handheld
I'll try. I have a developer unit, but the chip is relatively slow. It even has problems with melonDS-Android. I will try, but I cannot promise it will run at full speed
Lets go thanks for all your work 👍
nice 👍
In the final version will we have to download newer versions as they release or will the software update on its own?
You can download every version, from the one you have to the latest, even if there were two versions in between.
That's exciting.. the scraping will be really nice. Keep up the awesome work!! :)
Dev, Try scraping EmuMovies - has a lifetime account tier which will probably supercede an eternal subscription based service.
Thanks will look into it!
If I install a newer version of iisu do I need to uninstall the older version or does installing the newer apk overwrite the older code?
Installing the new APK overwrites the older code!
Thank you! Steady updates will be nice but please make sure not to overwork yourself
Good update schedule, for all.
Sapphire tha goat fr, thanks for all you do.
Every 2 weeks ey! Nice! Good luck with the agile development! I won’t be complaining if you and the devs need more time with splitting the load into additional use case and bug fixes
Se viene lo bueno!
Very good job! But please dont remove the montly public updates.
Nope, they will stay!
Im manually scraping and sanitizing now. Will the per platform file system be implemented in the next release so all metadata for all platforms doesnt have to be in one folder
Yup! And we'll have that automatically move all assets to the correct directory so that if you've done manual scraping, you don't have to move them when you install the next alpha!
Congrats to all you do
Good work, keep at it Sapphire!
