🎥 iiSU DS Showcase! Running Across 6 Handhelds
Added 2025-10-16 15:30:15 +0000 UTCHey 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 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.
