The Daijisho frontend is relatively new but has quickly risen in the ranks to become my favorite frontend. It is super snappy, feature-rich, can be used as your home app, and is completely free. In this video we'll take a look at its features and how to set it up on your favorite Android device -- Retroid Pocket, AYN Odin, Logitech Cloud, or even an old Android phone or tablet.

Just want to say I am a big fan of how informative and clear this channel is. Glad to patreon it for a while now, thanks Russ!

Man this was such a thorough guide. You went above and beyond. Really great video Russ.

@pfroo40 Год назад

I absolutely love Daijisho. It is by far the best option. What blows me away the most is how fast and accurate the scraping is, nothing else has caught all my games so well.

@MCFantaSanta Год назад

Do I get the games on a website?

@brandontadday6288 Год назад

ScreenScraper worked pretty well for me on the ArkOS side of things. I must say, I am surprised at how quick the scraping process was with Daijisho though!

@ribblemedia7116 Год назад

hi, did you guys get mame to rename the rom files and scrspe ok? no matter what settings i use it leaves the romnames as they are when importing and so doesnt scrape the artwork??

@emilianomontanari283 Год назад

@st00fa 11 месяцев назад

I find the scraping to be fairly awful. Arcade roms (MAME, FBA etc) is generally terrible. Every other system I've had to repair a lot of games.

@theovermatt Год назад

Just commenting to say that I tried this out on my Retroid Pocket 2+ and am never going back to anything else. Everything else I'd tried on the system was either super fiddly or didn't do certain things I wanted, but this was basically perfect right off the bat. Great suggestion and video as usual Russ.

This is awesome. I had bought a Razer Edge and got a loaded up SD card put into it. However, I had having a painful time trying to play my retro games on it. However, this looks like the exact solution I was needing. Many thanks to you for going over this. It is greatly appreciated. Take care and I will have to check out your Android setup video soon enough as well.

@patrickshaw411 9 месяцев назад

A snappy and beautiful looking front end is what I've always wanted. While many emulations have the bells and whistles one might need, they can often look very rough or intimidating. This is the best of both worlds, and the set up doesn't seem too bad. Looking forward to trying this with my Retroid.

@zydomic3962 Год назад

Was hesitant to try this because of my previous experience trying to set up frontends. Always took too much to get looking nice and there were always little nagging issues that kept it from being a good experience. But this was sooo easy to set up. Everything just kinda worked and it all looked and played nice. Ended up setting it to my home button and disabling my lock screen and now my Odin feels less like an Android tablet with a controller, and more like an actual game console. It feels so much easier to just turn the device on and start playing.

I was initially using Launhbox on my Odin Pro and was hesitant about paying for a license, but when I heard about Daijisho, I gave it a try, and there was no going back. It's simple to set up, snappy, and beautiful. I use Pegasus 3.5 for my Odin Lite though. It's interesting to use and compare different frontends.

Thank you for this! Got my sleeping RP2 from the storage. Installed Lineage OS (with your guide as well) and Daijisho. Will sell my RP2 because it is a bit clunky to use compared to a Linux based handheld but this really is a BIG step up. Will be using my RP2 a lot more now.

@NoKrakana Год назад

Does it run smoothly? I have an RP2 (not the plus) and I didn't want overload what little RAM it has.

@trioncross Год назад

@@NoKrakana Yes it does. Lineage OS is more lightweight than the stock Android 6. After setting up Daijisho, it is easier to use. Pizzaboy works a lot better than the mGBA Retroarch. There won't be performance upgrades on emulation but just navigating to your games feels a lot better. I think it is worth it to do Lineage OS upgrade at least.

@NoKrakana Год назад

@@trioncross Thanks! I currently have it on Lineage OS but if this works even better, then why not give it a go.

@trioncross Год назад

@@NoKrakana Personally, it works better since everything is organized. Plus, it will be a lot easier to navigate around your games once you have it as your default launcher.

@RedneckIrishman Год назад

Daijisho has been my primary frontend since my Odin Lite arrived about 2 months ago. One word of caution is that if you change your emulator's display name, it also breaks the wallpaper for that system. Other than that, as Russ has said in his video also, Daijisho is by far and away one of the simplest yet good looking Android front ends out right now. Just wish I had his start-up guide when I started with it. ;)

@wishuwerehere Год назад

You can manually update the wallpaper if need be. Tho this is annoying, I've just settled for keeping a folder of my favorite wallpapers on my SD card for easy access.

@michaelbirmingham1203 Год назад

Do saves transfer over? I was using the Retroid launcher and wanted to switch to this front end. I got it set up but no saves were on my games.

@wishuwerehere Год назад

@@michaelbirmingham1203 saves are emulator dependent, frontends don’t touch them. If your saves aren’t showing up check retroarch (or whatever emulators you are using)

@RedneckIrishman Год назад

@@michaelbirmingham1203 What James Said. Frontends are exactly that. They are simply launchers for your emulators. All saves and settings are still done from within the emulator itself.
