Thanks for everything you do for the gaming community!
Use it on my Legion Go Z2 and love it. Now I paid for it on my Z fold 7. Excellent work guys.
Thanks for the amazing frontend. This is my 2nd time buying ES-DE because i originally bought if from the samasung/amazon store cant remember lol but its no longer there. But its okay though i dont mind this is my favorite frontend ever keep doing the things you do best ES-DE team.
Thank you, and I'm very happy to hear that you appreciate ES-DE!
Can i download updates after canceling the initial 5.0 membership? Thanks
Yes future updates will be sent to you via email, to the address you use here on Patreon.
Thanks for an amazing Frontend! 😍🤩
Thank you for this great app. I realize what the frontend really means with it. Thank you so much...
Thanks for all your great work. I can only image the amount of time this project must take to do. Appreciate it along with all the gamers out there. Keep up the awesome work that we all get to enjoy. Cheers! 👍🏼
Hello everyone!!
Hi I have all devices now set up SD oled my ally and Lenovo go ayn Odin even my ambernic 405m and cube in regards to androids is there any cloud support to throw my saves about each device I use OneDrive through cloud opetiong on emudeck and emu de will there be support for android
I know some people use Syncthing for that, but this is something I've not tested personally. You could try joining our Discord server, perhaps someone there could explain how they've set it up: https://discord.gg/42jqqNcHf9
Do you intend to update it as a launcher? it would be perfect. 😊
Hopefully in a future release, but I'm not sure yet if it's feasible as I haven't researched it enough yet.
Ok. Thank you !
OK. I'll wait for your response, which country are you from?
It may take a long time though, I'm not even sure if I can reproduce this problem. I'm from Sweden :)
I do the same thing with all emulators and they open normally. In the case of ppsspp it only opens the game the first time when the emulator is closed, then when I run another game on the fronted it opens the game I was playing where I had stopped or if I closed the game it opens on the emulator home page. I tested it on a telephone device and the same thing happened. I tested others fronted devices on PEGASUS and DAISHISHO. they opened normally.
Sorry I have no idea what could cause this, it's not something I have experienced and nobody else has reported it. But I'll add it to my to-do list for things to investigate.
Hi, when I run a ppsspp game it starts up straight away, when I exit the game and run another game, the game doesn't open, it opens in the game I was playing or in the initial screen of ppsspp... My console is ayn odin 2
You need to exit the game completely, most (or maybe all?) emulators will not actually close the game when you swipe to close the app so the next game you launch from ES-DE will not be started as the old game was still running. In the case of PPSSPP I think you need to press back, then press "Exit to menu" and then "Exit".
Ok... I'll try. Thank you, You are very friendly and kind.
Thanks, and good luck :)
Hello, good afternoon, I'm Brazilian, I would like to know if I can get a refund because I'm not able to use the application, I thought I could just install and use it normally... I'm not able to run games with it, like drastic and ppsspp.
It should work though, have you tried the things mentioned in the FAQ? https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/FAQ-ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#when-i-launch-a-game-using-a-standalone-emulator-why-does-it-say-the-game-file-could-not-be-opened https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/FAQ-ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#why-do-some-standalone-emulators-fail-to-launch-with-error-code-1-or-just-display-a-black-screen If you can't get it to work I'll for sure issue a refund, please send me a DM in this case!
My box art and videos etc are located with each system e.g. \ROMS\Arcade\images and \ROMS\Arcade\videos. when I start ES-DE it locates all of the games in teh specified games directory but it doesn't locate teh images and video. From what I can see ES-DE expects a dedicated media directory. is that correct and is there anyway to point to my games directory?
Yes the required media location is documented here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md?ref_type=heads#manually-copying-game-media-files
ES-DE Frontend makes me run the set-up process again if I power off my device. Any idea how to fix this?
It's due to a bug in Android essentially, it starts ES-DE before the environment is ready, meaning the external storage has not been mounted yet. I have added a workaround for this that will come in the next release.
Ok I guess there is no way even manually pointing every single rom folder for each single system... :(
Yes it's possible in ES-DE but it would be incredibly tedious to setup and it's something I would definitely not recommend.
is there a way to use the root folder of the SD? I'd not like to move all my files out, and I had this structure because of linux partition with ES ... I'm using Anbernic RG353V with Android 11
No it's not possible, I use the scoped storage directory picker that is part of the Android operating system and it does not support selection of the root of storage devices, I think Google introduced this limitation a couple of years back.
After having to scrape the same files twice after deleting the amazon store version, it’s now taking up even more room on my micro sd card on odin 2. How do I delete the previous unused files that were scraped (box art, preview videos, game manuals) ?
You should not need to rescrape anything when uninstalling and reinstalling ES-DE, the only thing that is deleted when you uninstall is your downloaded themes. It sounds like you have had your ES-DE directory (i.e. the application data directory) at two different locations with the previous installation and the new installation?
Found out my issue your individual game folders have to be in all lower case letters except switch
Yes it's all lowercase with ES-DE. Should be the same with the switch system, the only reason it still works is (I think) because Yuzu uses the FileProvider API instead of SAF URIs.
@yann Cardon Go to your orders on Amazon hit digital in filter you will see it. Then call Amazon they will refund you
I ❤️ you work ! btw, do you know how to get refunded by Amazon appstore? I just can see my invoice but no more 😭
I think this was already answered, but otherwise if you join our Discord server we have a pinned message there that explains the entire process of asking for a refund from Amazon.
On Android.
Please add the option of two folder locations . Two at once internal and external.
I will document how this can be accomplished, just be aware that it's not recommended for reasons I will explain in the documentation.
Menu button only offers sound settings
Yes I already responded to your previous question about this.
The menu button only offers sound nothing else
Sounds like you accidentally switched ES-DE to Kiosk mode. You can reset it with the Konami code, it's documented here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md?ref_type=heads#ui-modes
Beautiful work as always! Set up on my shield tv and works great. Any thoughts on adding a banner so I can get the app to show up on the home screen?
Great to hear that it works! I have already added that and it will be part of the next release.
Is yaba sanshrio 2 going to be add
This emulator has issues and needs to be updated before I can add it to ES-DE. There is a hell of a hack you could do to make games work as far as I've heard but it will only work on some devices and it's not something I've tested. There is a person in our Discord server that is attempting to get in contact with the developer to see if he can update it so it can work with ES-DE but I don't know when or if that could happen.
Thanks for the app, mate.
Bought to organise everything on my Meta Quest 3. bit of a struggle so far, can do the basics such as themes, scraping works etc, but can't launch emu's, just locking up. will play with setting more later. Great work on the front end, use on on my SteamDeck - soo soo good, thank you!!
Sorry to hear that you have run into issues, but this device is not really something I would say is supported. Maybe if I can get my hands on one in the future I could make it work, but I can't promise it at this moment in time.
Thanks for this amazing works. Retroarch downloaded from officisl website works for me. Aethersx2 doesnt work correctly. My Xbox series X control doesnt work With retroarch. Testing on a Xiaomi pad 5
You probably need to use NetherSX2 instead of AetherSX2. If your controller doesn't work in RetroArch then please check with them as ES-DE does not configure emulators, it's only a frontend.
Nvm the second download is a lot faster
I'm sorry about that, the web server haven't been able to handle all the downloads, I'll try to find a more reliable place to host the APK for the next release.
my apk download keeps failing
Weird can play GameCube from ES but Wii gives a long error
It's best to join our Discord server if you have issues, this is the easiest way to get help. https://discord.gg/EVVX4DqWAP
When I restart my android I have to configure front end again scrapes everything
This has been fixed and will be part of the upcoming release.
I opened the app and click on begin then permission and it goes back to begin. Nothing else happens. Android 12
Thank you for this
mi da errore nell'analisi del pacchetto, ho un p20 lite
Meglio se scrivi in inglese 😉
Got my refund from Amazon, and very happy to support you through here. I’ve been waiting for an Android ES front end for years!
Can you also please consider Android 10 support? Huawei P30 Pro on the latest EMUI 12.0 firmware still runs on the underlying Android 10 Base. It would be great to expand support to at least include Android 10 as a minimum.
I will investigate Android 10 support, can't tell yet whether it will be possible but I'll try.
Screw Amazon - Their loss. Subscribed here. So many thanks 👍
I got the refound from amazon and now I can download it directly from your link.
Thx for your hard work, i already got a refund from amazon so here i am with patreon now ;)
Thank you :)
download takes forever >.<
Sorry about that, for the next release I'll try to find a more reliable server to host the APK.
Not working to open dreamcast games with redream standalone on my Odin 2 max. Please fix the problem. Thank you Thank you
This is caused by firmware/OS bugs specifically on the Odin 2, you can read more about it here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#issues-with-the-ayn-odin-2
App is broken, doesn't work on android 12, and now I feel scammed, can't even get a refund through patron.. :(!!!
You're not scammed, some devices have issues because manufacturers have made customizations to the operating system and I need access to such devices to figure out exactly what they have done. It's not a general issue with Android 12. I can refund you manually.
On Android 12, it just presents with blank screen after enabling storage permissions, will there be a fix?!
Could you please add Genesis MSU1 and SNES MSU1 as their own game category? Thanks in advance for your excellent work.
I'm a bit hesitant to start adding hack systems and similar, because then we could end up with a huge amount of new systems which needs to be maintained and supported by the theme authors and so on. I normally make subdirectories for such games, like snes/MSU1.
Thanks for all of your hard work! Is it possible to change the systems sorting to a custom one without root access? The file seems to be in the data/user/0 which is not visible normally.
Yes you don't need to be root to do anything in ES-DE, it's documented here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/INSTALL.md?ref_type=heads#es_systems_sortingxml
Here are some feature suggestions. 1. Support for the new RetroArch core geolith (NeoGeo). 2. Option to disable the Game Systems in the UI. Why? I sort my games into genre collections, so the start screen would be less cluttered if the systems cold be disabled. 3. Easier way to disable the kiosk mode, I know the Konami code is funny, never the less... :-) I noticed a bug, when the "display on-screen help" is disabled, it still shows the black stripe on the button. Thank you!
Hi, yes I'm actually going to add the Geolith core now so it will be part of the next release. I'm not really fond of disabling game systems from the UI as the collections are virtual systems which point to the "real" game systems, and that is confusing if the real system is not there. It's like having playlists for your music but not being able to see the actual records that the playlists are built from. I think the Konami code is reasonable, but you should be able to modify the UIMode_passkey setting in ES-DE/settings/es_settings.xml to something else if you prefer it to be simpler. The on-screen help thing you mention is not a bug, to remove the black bar that normally hosts the helpsystem would require support for conditionals to be added to the theme engine and it's not been implemented. Maybe some day I'll do it as the theme developers have asked for it, but it's not as trivial as it may seem.
I’m having an issue. If I turn off my Odin2 and leave it for a little while then turn it back on and open ES-DE it wants me to set it up again. If I press the back face button it loads normally. Did I install it wrong or is there something I need to do in order to fix that issue?
There's a fix for that coming in the next version, it's becaue the external storage isn't mounted by the time ES-DE is launched so it forces the setup screen.
Switched from Amazon and I think it is a good thing in the long run. Who need the Amazon App Store anyway. :-) By the way, big kudos to the extensive manual, I always hated writing them.
Happy to hear that you appreciate the documentation. Regarding Amazon, make sure you ask for a refund, you should get it.
I keep getting an error upon install saying there was a problem parsing the package, can anyone help? Tryiong to instyall on my Odin Pro
It's because this device uses Android 10 and the minimum required OS release is Android 11. I'll see if I can add support for Android 10 in a future release, not sure yet though.
Thank you so much for making this happen. Looking forward to more developments in the future.
Glad to support this awesome project on Android. Some suggestions though. On devices like the Retroid Pocket 4 and Ayn Odin 2 where the XYAB aren’t in the usual configuration, if setting the front end controls to match the device buttons the positioning is off over what is displayed in the submenus. Secondly an option to silence the playing video media on the game selection screen would be much appreciated.
Sorry I don't follow. I have an Odin 2 and I don't have any issues with the controls, could you let me know more precisely what is the problem? I suppose you did use the "Swap A/B and X/Y buttons" in the Input device settings menu? And you can set the audio volume for videos or disable the audio altogether in the Sound settings menu.
Also if I set the Es as home sometimes or almost all the time (I am not sure if that the case always) plugging in the usb cable for file transfer doesn't work as usual. I had to open the developer settings and play with default USB behavior then it starts to work. I am not sure it is from the app or the os. I am using retriod pocket 4 pro with latest update.
I'll look into it, but setting ES-DE as the home app/launcher is not really officially supported. You can do it using third party apps but it's not something that has been thoroughly tested by me. I hope to be able to add proper official support for it though in a future release.
I hope you consider making a walkaround to launch native apps and games from the Es itself by creating a shortcut somehow to open the packages like psvita. It is very important as if the application is set as a launcher it is a hassle to open any other apps or manipulate the files on device or play android games.
Yes this is planned for a future release.
After allowing permission on setup I get a white screen. Checking the Android settings it says no permissions granted. When I definitely allowed it multiple times and tried reinstalling. I am at a loss. Android 12 Wiko Voix is my device.
Sorry to hear that you have these problems, this one is a new issue I don't think I've heard of previously. I would need to reproduce it to fix it but I don't know what could trigger this. Could you perhaps join our Discord server and post a video of what the entire process looks like? Maybe that could present some clues as to what is wrong.
Hi, I’m glad you can restore the app after the Amazon issue, you’re a hero without a cape 🙌😉
Thanks a lot :D
Do something such that there should be an option to download or update in the app itself.
Not sure if that will be possible but I'll check.
Is it possible to get this to work with earlier versions of Android? This app will give life to a lot of android systems from back then.
Android 10 is perhaps possible, which I'll look into soon. Earlier releases than that is more uncertain as some libraries that ES-DE depend on don't work properly on older Android versions.
Will this work on Android TV, too?
Tried it myself. It's not compatible with chromecast with android tv.
When trying to scrape it getting “server returned to http error code 430” what does that mean?
It means you have exceeded your daily quota at ScreenScraper. Make sure to register an account (it's free) at their site to increase the number of daily API calls. I will try to make these error messages more clear in a future release as HTTP 403 and 430 are quite cryptic.
Great work, but i have a problem, retroarch is crashing when i launch any game (gba, gb, dos, dreamcast etc.). On the other hand, Daijisho runs great with the same settings. I have android 11 and my roms are in sd card. any idea what is happening?
Probably es-de tells RetroArch to use a non installed core. Install those cores or (better) change default cores in es-de settings
Confirming 3.0.0-15 works on the Anbernic RG405V. It's very slow when launching the app and changing settings in the sub-menus is very laggy but hey - it works! Well done folks. Feel free to request me to test and report back on anything if it helps. Note that the button mappings shown in the game lists are all incorrect, for example they show that you press X to favourite a game, but pressing X actually shows the preview video full screen and pressing Y adds it to favourites. It's great to finally have something that has the potential of replacing the very poorly maintained Daijishou - it had so much potential but was hampered by not being open source + having a single developer. In comparison ES-DE offers the promise of more features, customisation and hopefully faster development. The trade off (all be it during beta/alpha at present) is obviously performance in the menus and much slower scraping.
Thanks for the info. Have you perhaps selected the SNES controller type in the Input device settings? This swaps the help icons as it's intended for third party SNES controllers where the button label don't match the actual button functions. Slow scraping is due to server speed limits and because ES-DE scrapes a lot more data than other frontends on Android, possibly multiple times more. As for optimizations I'm not sure what can be done, ES-DE is a relatively demanding application by its nature. I'm intending to do some renderer optimizations at some point but I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make.
I'm having issues with it crashing on my Retroid Pocket Flip. Crashes at the the "begin setup" button. Works well on my Odin though.
I'm sorry to hear that, it seems to be a very unusual problem but a few persons have reported similar issues. I'm trying to figure out what could cause it but I've not been able to reproduce it yet. Are you using the stock firmware/OS image? Any other difference between this and your Odin when it comes to settings or some special apps or whatnot? Have you set ES-DE as the home app/launcher on either of these two devices? The problem is likely caused by ES-DE not being able to save its settings to internal storage, although that's just a qualified guess at this moment in time.
I know that others have had issues with getting ES-DE to recognize the standalone redream emulator and that on linux the answer was to change the folder to all lowercase or something along those lines. Is there anything that we can do so that ES-DE can find redream in android? Thanks for the great product!
ES-DE works fine with Redream but there are issues specifically with the Odin 2 and this emulator if you happen to own this device.
I missed AmberELEC after I upgraded from an Anbernic to a Retroid Pocket 3+, particularly custom collections which seemed to be missing in Daijishou and such for Android. Saw the RetroGameCorps video and the menu similarities to ELEC and immediately paid for this. Worth it. (I do wish it were easier to add games to custom collections though. It was horribly confusing trying to do that. I'd expect the game menu to have an option to select to add to any custom collection, not just favorites. Going to the collection, setting to edit it, then going back to find the game, add it, then go back to turn off editing that collection is... a lot.)
Yes that functionality is planned.
Do I need to delete the Amazon app and install the new link from here to get the update notifications? I updated to the latest release before it was taken off the Amazon App Store.
Make sure to ask for a refund from Amazon, then uninstall ES-DE and the Amazon Appstore app (unless you need it for something else). This will not delete your scraped media or settings, you just need to download the themes again. Then download and install the APK, it's the exact same release. I will send out emails and post here on Patreon when there is a new release.
Has anyone tried getting it running on the Odin pro 1
Double post, see my answer above ;)
Has anyone tried to get it running on the Odin pro 1?
That doesn't work as it uses Android 10, but I'll investigate whether it's possible to add Android 10 support in a future release. It's not clear yet.
Happy to support. Going to keep the monthly active as long as development is active. Sad you did not get any of the Amazon money. Hopefully Redream on Odin2 gets addressed. (I don't think it is an ES-DE issue....But it is the only thing not working on my setup. ES-DE works really good for a full port to Android.)
Thanks, much appreciated! No the Odin system image has multiple issues which I have reported to Ayn since a few weeks back. You can read more about it here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#issues-with-the-ayn-odin-2 And I don't know yet whether Amazon will send me any money, I have not received anything so far and I strongly doubt they will send me anything now that they (incorrectly) state that the app is "illegal" but I really don't know.
Hy Retro Game Enthusiasts😄 it is realy nice to have ES up and running on Android👍 But thers allso some remarks😄 it would be great if we can chose the standalone Emulators we have and not got only a pre selection from ES! I am in need of more then 1 Games directory to add, i have games on the internal memory, the SD card and a usb-c ssd. But for the Beginning is Great Thank You A Lot Take care Greetings from Switzerland fuselito
You can already place game directories on different storage devices but it's very tedious and not recommended. And there is an issue that makes some emulators not work with this setup. This has been fixed though and will be included in the next release. But regardless it will never be recommended, I will write documentation that explains why this is the case but how to accomplish it if you insist on this setup anyway.
Thanks for the great work. I was wondering if you could help me. I can't seem to set this up on my sd card. It keeps going back to the set up process when I launch the app. Following the same process on my internal drive works but I don't want to store ES-DE or ROMs there.
Could you perhaps join our Discord server? It will be much easier to troubleshoot there. https://discord.gg/EVVX4DqWAP
great work on the app. happy to support. what is the best way to know when updates drop?
I'll send an email, and I've also added an in-app notification. The first time it will be a bit confusing though as it says you should get the update from the app store, but this is of course no longer correct.
great app as always. Just wondering is there (or will there be) a way to add android games to ES-DE so it can be used as a complete frontend?
Thanks, yes this is planned but I don't yet know when it will be in place.
Question.. when you power down your device is it normally that it will go through the setup wizard again, lose settings. Whenever i power cycle my device it needs to do that is that expected?
No I consider this a bug in Android, when you set ES-DE as your home app Android will start ES-DE before it has mounted the external storage such as the SD card. This is why the configurator is shown. Just press back when it's displayed and ES-DE should start normally (you may have to wait a second so the storage is really mounted first). You will not lose any settings. I have added a workaround for this issue that will come in the next release, where I check for the storage mount status up to 30 times with 100 milliseconds between each loop iteration. That seems to eliminate the problem on my Odin 2 at least.
Can't wait to give it a go!
Thank for this awesome front end!
Happy to see there is an alternate version to support you directly - keep on the great work, thanks so much
Happy to support you here Leon after refunding from the Amazon Appstore. I wish you every success with the project. (Charco).
Hi! I have seen that you have added dolphin mmj2 to the alternative emulators, but it says that it couldn't find the emulator :(
There is like a million different versions of these emulators and ES-DE only supports some specific ones, you can find more details here: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ANDROID.md?ref_type=heads#dolphin-mmjr-and-mmjr2 As far as I could tell, these are the ones that are the most recommended ones.
Thanks a lot for keeping this frontend going and providing it for us dedicated emulation fans. The fiasco with Amazon was certainly annoying but not so difficult to get resolved. Good luck with future progress and looking forward to more updates!
The download link keeps failing. I've tried well over 50 times to download and it just fails to download everytime.
Too many people trying to download at once?
Thanks allot for all your work. ES-DE works great. I hope it is appreciated for providing a feature request at this time: I really wish we could be able to have an Android games/apps section.
Thank you! Yes that is planned, it's on the roadmap: https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/ROADMAP.md?ref_type=heads Btw, not everything on the roadmap may make it in the end, it's just a plan! But native Anrdoid app support is high on the priority list.
Thanks Dude!! Great job!!!
Thanks
I want to pay once o ly, not monthly. How do I cancel recurring payment plz?
you can cancel your membership since you've already paid once for the app
Just joined for ES-DE after requesting a refund from Amazon.
Trying to install on a galaxy tab a7 keep getting an error there was an error while parsing the package.
You need Android 11 minimum, but it's also possible that you didn't get a complete file when downloading? There are some issues with the webserver so sometimes the complete file is not downloaded. I will try to find a better place to host the APK for the next release.
If it's possible for you guys, I'd go for something like they do with lunchbox, buy a license on your website and use the key or an account to activate the app!
It's cumbersome for us, and it's cumbersome for the users. I'd much rather trust that people are honest and that not everyone will simply pirate the app. The ES-DE APK is completely DRM free and unrestricted.
I don't even need the app at the moment, I'm just glad I can support its development and use it without having to go through Google or Amazon.
Here because of Russ and Mr Sujano more then happy to help support this awesome front-end 👌🏿
It will be really nice if we can custom point the ROM folder per system (just like what we have with Daijisho), as i like to split my ROMS between internal and external storage on my Odin2. Much appreciated for the consideration :)
You can actually do it already although it's a bit tedious. There is one bug though that I have fixed but not rolled out in a release yet that makes some emulators fail if you split your game system directories. When I make that release I'll update the documentation with how to set it up. But it's again not recommended for reasons I will explain when I write the documentation.
I installed es de on my Odin 2 yesterday and I am so happy :) I hope there will be still some updates like launching android app/games from within es-de. But so far I am really impressed that it works already so good.
Yes launching native Android apps is planned for a future version, can't tell yet when it will be available though.
Thanks a lot for your work.
Thank you for your work! It's really a spectacular front end💪 I have only one question. Where I'll found future update? I need to be a patron again?
You don't need Patreon to receive future updates, I'll distribute download links via email and since you registered here once I have your email address. I would recommend to stay as a free member though as I'm also going to post status updates and similar here as I work on the project.
Thanks for your hard work, i think people over the world, must support you.
Thank you so much for bringing EmulationStation to Android. I've tried all the others and ES is still the easiest option, particularly for large libraries. A small UI bug I noticed is that when I choose SNES controller type, the select and start button on the UI is correct, but the image for the dpad buttons at the bottom of the UI is not correct. The UI says I should press the bottom Dpad button to select, when it is infact the right Dpad button to select when using SNES controller.
Thank you! This is actually not a bug but a feature to handle some third party SNES controllers that have physically swapped the button labels but not the actual button functions. I will however add another SNES controller type in a future version that does not swap the buttons, so you can use either or.
Thanks for the hard work, got this running on my android modded switch and it runs amazing!
Wow, incredible that it works on the Switch, I didn't know that was possible!
Wished app supported Lemroid
I tried it but it simply doesn't work and I think it's not being developed any longer so not much to do with that one unfortunately.
Let's go!
Retro game corps on YouTube sent me this way. I'd already purchased on Amazon but want to make sure you get the money so buying again
Thank you! But I don't think Amazon will ever pay me anything so I recommend asking for a refund.
Russ sent me this way. Keep up your awesome work. I've decided to not refund my Amazon payment for your app as you will get my money for that eventually. I was more than happy to pay again for your awesome app. Thanks!
Thank you! But I strongly doubt I'll ever get any money from Amazon now that they state that it's an illegal app. So I recommend asking for a refund.
Thanks so much, glad I don't have to use amazon
Saw Russ' YouTube video and received the Amazon refund. Came here to support your active development using my ayn odin 2 pro. You have made an amazing product and I hope your development continues 🙏 Thank you so much I love using es-de on my device and really hope to integrate the ps vita on it as well in the future updates. sending you the refund from Amazon to help you out directly on patreon you deserve it!
Thank you! Vita3K is already supported so you don't need to wait for a future update to start playing PS Vita games via ES-DE.
Thanks for a great Front end!
Here via Russ' videos as I hadn't got round to Amazon app store purchase yet.
Any chance we can get this backported to earlier versions of Android?
Maybe Android 10, earlier releases than that is more problematic for multiple reasons. No promises though, I need to research it.
Thanks for all your hard work. By the way, here's my conversation with Amazon Support https://imgur.com/a/hfGnDW3
Wonderful conversation, thanks for sharing!
Saw Russ’s YouTube video and had to come here and support you!!!
Requested refund from Amazon & bought it again here. Don’t let the drama get to you. Thanks for all the hard work & a fantastic front end.
Gracias por tu esfuerzo excelente trabajo. 👍🏻
Russ sent me here. Also screw Amazon 100%
i cancel my membership and there says access expire in one month... Can I access this page and application updates even after a month? I am a new user and I have never used this service before.
yes, you can still get updates even if you cancel your membership. i think the devs mentioned they will be distributing updates via email or something like that
Never did patron before but this was the best reason to support. Sorry to hear about the Amazon situation.
Do you see it ever being updated to allow android 10 to run on it. It currently can’t be used on the original Odin pro due to it being android 10
Maybe, without app store restrictions it may be possible. But I can't promise it yet, it needs some research.
How to stop Recurring payment for membership, there is only one option that is stop membership...
You just cancel it, you can stay as a free member and you'll still get future update (via email download links most likely).
here from retrogamecorps, finally trying es
or I'd like to, if it would download been trying for an hour :)
Thank you and I agree with the comment from Thomas G.
bought this on the amazon app store and requested a refund there. and i'll gladly spend money for this again if it means supporting the devs.
Thank you. I know this wasn't your desired delivery method, but I actually prefer not going through Amazon App store, so I am actually excited. Thank you.
❤️ much love
Thanks so much for the awesome frontend! The only thing I would like is automatic updates from an app like Obtanium :) Thanks for all the work!
I believe he won't as he need to keep people buying the membership. If it leaked "and it will", it would be no interest to buy memberships anymore for a lot of people. even the future updates still would be tricky to distribute.
I pleaded a one-time payment to support your efforts. I hope it is worth it and you keep send us free updates as usually stores do.
Yes I will do that, probably download links via email. It's not 100% clear yet how it will work, but you'll get the updates for sure.
So sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with all this running around. ES-DE is fantastic and we really appreciate all the hard work you've put into it. I have signed up, and even though I don't have a tonne of spare money, I will stay a paid subscriber for the next 3-6 months. I hope this helps and keep up the amazing work.
Thank you, that is much appreciated!
Uninstall Amazon version first (your files, folder structure and scraped files are intact). Reinstall once complete and you’ll just have to reconfigure your themes and any custom UI settings you had applied.
Should it automatically overwrite the amazon version? I'm getting a lot of 'app not installed' when I try. size is 117mb which seems reasonable? On the offchance that it is an issue, would deleting the app mean I need to set up from scratch? The set up is probably easy, it's all the scraping (although I assume those files won't get touched anyway)
You can unistall your amazon one and then install the apk. You will retain your settings, but you will need to go through the initial config config (to give the app access to android), butyou can skip the last step (creating system folders)
Thanks for all your hard work on ES-DE, I've been a desktop user for a while already, and I'm grateful to be able to support the project!
Problem opening package after download
Like I mentioned in the post the web server is unfortunately a little bit unreliable so sometimes you don't get the whole file, especially now when so many people are downloading it at the same time. I'll try to find a better place to host the file shortly, it's just been a bit too crazy today. Try to re-download it again, it should work eventually.
Apparently Amazon is okay with just keeping the money, while they continue to sell rom-filled Chinese bootlegs themselves?!? That's insane. They're certainly not keeping MY money.
Amazon refunded me within seconds so should be pretty easy after you open a chat and say it was delisted
Membership tab > Pencil icon > Cancel Membership
Trying to install it onto my Pixel 8 Pro but it says the apk won't install on this device... Is there anything that can fix this?
You'll need Android 11 at least to run ES-DE, maybe that's the problem?
I paid but how do u turn off recurring payments ?
Just click the button to cancel your membership. You'll still have access to this page and the APK download
Will all my scraped media be retained when uninstall the amazon app?
Mine was! /sdcard/ES-DE and all its contents was used by the new install.
Thank you for making the android version a feasible option again. Happy to support
Here we go again! Thanks Leon! :)
Thanks for the amazing app! Shame on Amazon & Google
Also got a refund from Amazon. Seems like self-publishing may be the key
Thanks guys, I sent Amazon a refund request with a note explaining how much of a silly decision they made. Hope this goes well for you.
Thank you very much for this, will be setting up tonight!!
I know amazon forced your hand but I was waiting for an alternative to buying through them. This is great, can't wait to get it up and running on my Odin 2!
Thanks a lot! I did get the update via Amazon but it's obviously gone! How will updates appear if we cancel the reoccurring payments? Will you email link(s) out to those that have paid?
No you can choose to only pay once, you'll still get updates in the future.
I bought on Amazon already but joined anyway please keep up your wonderful work.
Ask for a refund, it's very unlikely Amazon will ever pay us anything now that they have delisted the app.
Just installed the app. Tonight i will have fun with it! :) thank you for your great work!
DRM Free baby!
I've cancelled my amazon purchase and got a full refund. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Same day Nintendo sues yuzu.. Keep up the good work I'm happy to support you.
Switched from Amazon to Patreon! Keep up the good work Leon!
I wasn't going to purchase off the Amazon Store as I avoid it at all costs and was waiting for Play Store, but I've made a charge here and got the apk. I'm glad to see this option, as unfortunate as Amazon was being hypocritical handling the situation.
Purchased on Amazon, but happy to join the patreon to support your awesome work!
Request refund from Amazon if they haven't made payment to the Dev. Stay a subscribed member for 2 months instead of 1 and Amazon doesn't get to pick and choose their hypocrisy.
Resubbed. Good luck Leon
Happy to support amongst all the chaos, fingers crossed a more consistent option becomes available to you. In the mean time at least this provides direct connection between the community and the ability to help support/fund you. ❤️
Thank you, but maybe Patreon is the best option after all. I can share the progress here as I'm working on the project, directly with everyone that supports it.
I may leave my subscription on for a couple of months to make sure you get a few extra bucks.
That's so nice of you!
Thank you, Leon, from happy gamers :-)
Happy to support your amazing work!
