Daijishō - An Emulation Frontend With Limitless Potential
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- Emulation Frontends are constantly innovating with new ideas and ways to make your library feel more active and easy to navigate.
By some miracle, I managed to convince the dev to integrate RetroAchievements and we've locked in on the project ever since. I've been working close with Daijishō to create what could be the best frontend experience on Android, and it's been months since this video began production. Consider it a way to point the dev in a unique direction; showing off what some new features could potentially look and feel like and how it could improve the overall experience.
There's some easter eggs here too, see if you can spot some of them...
And of course I'm happy to say I did my best to check for mistakes before rendering this time. 1 frame of the video was out of sync with the fluidity but I rather have 1 bad frame than 100.
PLEASE tell me what you guys think, and be sure to share your own ideas with the dev too! Thank you guys for always being patient with my content, I hope it was worth the wait :)

Noice. ♥️
Hope you consider a pc/linux port for the future. This would be incredible to have on steam deck!
Brah we NEED this 🤤
Really need this on PC. Please keep up your good work!! Would be more than happy to do any collaboration with you on this frontend!
If you don't implement the ideas in 🥰🥰the video, I will kill you
Awesome
I don’t know how but your channel just satisfies the most niche interests that I have perfectly. Seriously, emulation UX is like something thats pretty ignored. I hope to see you make a larger impact in the emulation community!
man, this video is so smooth
This is super professional. Holy cow!
I'll be sharing this for sure.
*happy tears*
you got me tearing up. honestly this is exactly what I always wanted RA to grow into. I am so proud and so grateful
Your video was so informative! I had no idea this frontend existed and the retroachivements widget is so cool. I'm glad the devs behind Daijishō liked the idea and implemented it pretty nicely. Keep up the stellar content!
always happy to halpya
…sorry
agreed :D
I swear to god bro, your videos are so satisfying to watch.
The editing is so clean and so underrated I hope this stuff gets added!!!
these are such well thought out and elegant designs, it's almost something you'd expect from apple. it's really astonishing and satisfying to watch
Your editing is so satisfying
This is the kind of video that's so good, I watch it every two or three months since it's been posted...
i promise i'll have something new soon
Clean editing :o
ZANOUJI :o
Nice to see another channel covering retro gaming with quality videos. Keep up the good work and hope you will produce more appealing contents.
As for the ideas of extra features, such as friends list, real-time messaging, while they may look fancy, I am afraid the operation in the background will consume a good chunk of system resources, which may be quite limited on lower-end devices.
Didn’t consider that, makes perfect sense
If there’s ever a pc port I’m sure it can be pulled off. For handhelds I suppose it would be optional settings, in case someone with a powerful device doesn’t feel the need to save resources
Amazing concepts and visuals! You definitely spent a lot of time on this and the mock-ups look smooth. I haven't heard of this frontend before but with my recently bought RP2+ I gotta check this out. Also I'm currently watching Action Button's review on boku no natsuyasumi so it showing up was a nice little surprise.
Also I know Retroarch has a achievement unlock sound you can enable so there must be a way to replace it manually.
there is, but i want an all in one package, also there's no sound for mastering games
You editing is top tier!
Blessed with another UsagiShade video 🥲
Excellent video with amazing editing! As someone who despises most menuing in various frontends, I find the designs here to be quite appealing.
I was personally wondering if the developer would be willing to bring the frontend to PC as the UI is personally the most interesting aspect for me.
he hasn't seen this yet, he's been dying to watch this video for months lol
tbh I'll throw that idea his direction too. If I had to guess, he'll most likely finalize everything in the native Android launcher first before considering a PC port.
@@usagishade Ooh! I understand. Hope everything goes smoothly then. Thanks for letting me know! Again, excellent videos. You deserve lots more following!
@@slackot until then, BlueStacks always exists :)
Just woke up seeing your DM and my mind is blown. Can tell that u are a pro on making videos. I definitely love your ideas, the representations of this frontend will be even cooler!!!! The customizable sound effect feature is so far my favourite
omg big fan
i love these concept features and animations. great work!
This video is so polished and highly underrated, good job 👏👍
Amazing as always :)
You're an editing god.
I freaking love your channel. It's the best channel i've ever watched in terms of video editing. I love it, keep it up man
My channel loves you
fantastic editing!!!
Your editing skills are insanely good.
Your videos are always so high quality and there's not a lot of stuff like it in the emulation content creation scene, love to see it man! Hyped for PS2 support this Saturday on RA?
Brooo PS2 just paves the way for more of my 2000s childhood. I’m so ready for it
starting with Sonic Heroes and maybe Kingdom Hearts if I hate my life enough 🙏🏻
@@usagishade I love for some reason this eras licensed 3D games, though not all of them aged as well as stuff like Simpsons H+R or SpongeBob BFBB. Definitely looking to play Shadow of the Colossus as well since it was always a cool concept to me but I wasn’t a PlayStation kid. Happy hunting
@@usagishade God, I can't wait for the PlayStation 2.
So many games that I wanted to replay in years to less then a decade or two (KHI/II), to games that I always to tried out, but sadly never got to own.
Mostly through lack of money, but also because I was still a kid at the time, so no Twisted Metal: Black (which had that darned M rating for good reasons) for Little Venny.
@@VenHur the ps2 was just a thing in my household I used when I was bored of GameCube lol
KH1 & 2 are going to be a nightmare though 😭
This was such an amazing vibe to watch. I really hope someone's hired you for UI design, because your ideas are fantastic, and the whole video I kept saying "Yes! I'd LOVE that!" on each idea. You demonstrate them each so perfectly with your mockups. The polish and professional flair of each one is astounding! Keep up the great work!
i read this comment and kept saying "Yes! I LOVE that!"
lolol appreciate it when people notice the little details and polish. I put way too much thought into every little thing so I'm happy it doesn't always fly under the radar.
It's only a matter of time until you have a huge subscriber base. Good luck. 😃😃
You guys have done amazing work thus far. This is the only frontend that's super comfortable to use and aesthetically pleasing! Is there any chance to request for collection for Android games? Also, would we be able to pin the games to the top of games list (per console) or part as part of a "highlighted titles" list above the entire collection? This would just make it just that little bit more convinient!
Purple is best color
Man! This was fantastic! I'm just jumping on the Daijishō train. As soon as my Odin Base arrive later this week I will install it! This collab already seems great and I can't wait to see what it will lead to in the future!
Although a uplaoded a year I'm so glad this video has been recommended to me seriously these are genius ideas especially the swipe menu and achievements ideas custom sounds etc. These would be perfect with the cherry on top by having the 3DS sounds (BG,select sound,choosing sounds etc.) I just can't wait if Tapioca actually decided to do this
your sound design and visuals are stellar. Like a a pillow on the eyes and ears
first time anyone said that, now I want to put it on a t-shirt 😭
another banger homie!
i love the sound effects ui
A friends list would be really incredible
These are some good ideas!
Bro you gotta tell what editing app you use Lmao 👏👏😭😭 it’s so GOOOooOoOd
After Effects
@@usagishade thanks bro ur channel is so underrated
Having a new usagi shade video is blessing!! Ty!! If I would have money I’m sure that I would buy some sort of emulator device but since I’m just a student I can’t really right now.
That’s temporary. I used to be a broke college student once. Now I’m a drop out with a stellar career 😅
Very cool ideas for this Frontend. I recall having an SNES emulator (for my PSP?) that would play random themes in the menu screen.
Bro! Love the nintendo menu vibes. Hey, if you care about pc frontends for that potential couch play, there a gui for launchbox/bigbox that allows you to create a theme with zero code! Ive messaged the developer of the theme creator multiple times. Hes really cool. I would love to see your design brain create a theme over there. The theme creator has potential that no one has tapped into yet i swear. Ive been back and forth on making my own theme for some time but got extremely sidetracked drawing icons for every system (not released yet) and i redrew all the platform logos in vector which took two years (off and on) its been wild. The theme creator is much much more usable now though. Seriously give the community theme creator for LB a look.
If you say it doesn’t require code and all I really need is file directories and design knowledge, that sounds like something I could take advantage of. BigBox is my main Frontend on PC so that would be a new step up if I could design my own lol
Nice video, this is the best Launcher i've experienced in a long time !
your pic looks familiar, I think you appear in my RA friends list lol
Yup i do lmao
This is amazing! I have an Anbernic 351M, and I thought it was really neat that I could get cheevos on it. This is way better than what I have installed with AmberElec. I wish I could get an OBS plugin in this style for streaming Retro Achievement hunting!
Another excellent video from you, Shade. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing any of your mentioned ideas in the above video being implemented on Daijishō (or others) in the future.
Can't wait for PlayStation 2 support to drop at the start of the month!*
While my gamer kid days lived and BREATHED on the GameCube, the Wii, and the already-supported Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance and other systems, I had a small good chunk of the PS2's more family-friendly offerings.
Can't wait to finally try out the grand tour of the whooooolle 4,000+-odd titles of the PS2 library.
(October 1st, 2022 C.E, if visitors from the far-off distant future are stumbling across this soon-to-be-ancient-post-in-another-thousand-or-so-years-from-present-time)
Sonic Heroes will be the first one I master lol
@@usagishade Broooo, I haven't played Sonic Heroes - The GameCube version anyway - in years!
Playing it again after so long is like opening up the Pandora's Box of childhood memories.
Even if the game itself is...just okay. (The soundtrack is undoubtedly still a banger though.)
Stumbled upon your vid while browsing Daijisho content. It's very well done!
How did you create all the UI presentations? Was it all done in After Effects?
Mostly after effects and some photoshop :)
i clicked on this video even though i already have been using Daijisho for a long time. This video sucked me in immediately. It's so well made and cozy. The music, the animation, the selected games shown: everything fits together perfectly. I just subbed to your channel and i hope you will do more videos in the future.
been working on one for months now. hoping to have it done soon!
Nice work for RA integration !
This video is very well done and your ideas are wonderful. If you could code, you’d be running the front end game.
if any coders out there want to start a fresh idea hmu 😅
Nice ideas. I love the app so far. I would really like for this frontend to have the option to add menu music like you can with Emulation Station.
Funny you say that… I just figured out a way to do this last night. Now my setup plays DSi home menu music whenever I’m in the launcher and stops when the launcher isn’t active/displayed.
I could do a small tutorial sometime
@@usagishade
Oh that's awesome. Yes please do! I use DSi home menu and some other tunes on my rg351p.
@@postplays I’m able to help you directly through discord if you want to enable this feature sooner. I’d make a video but by then a month would go by lol
Bro wtf is this?? Never seen such an attention to video production. The sound additions are ridiculous. Great job
you had me at the beginning ngl
I appreciate it! Presentation is like one of my big deal breakers so if I can’t show something off the way I want to see it, then what’s the point, you know?
@@usagishade haha yeah i worded it weird sorry😅.
The wii/3ds sound additions were so satisfying i kept wishing they were actually integrated in the real UI. crazy how something so small can add so much.
Subscribed and here's hoping to more UI content, u got a knack for it.
Subbed!
a looooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelove the idea of of "Other Featuers"
I wish daijisho was polished like this. If it doesn't probably I will end up installing ES-DE now that it's on android
❤❤❤
Hope for game OS theme from Pegasus OS frontend could be added. It is so fascinating. It looks like Netflix, hbo max and Disney plus
Which emulators do you use per system within Daijisho in order to get Retroachievements to work?
Awesome video!
For PS2 achievements (they launch in a few days) use AetherSX2.
PS1 - Duckstation
Everything else - RetroArch (cores)
DS - melonds core
Dreamcast - Flycast core
SNES - snesx9 current
GBA - mgba or vba-next core
NES - mesen core
Saturn - yabause core
PSP - ppsspp core (use the core from the regular playstore release and drag it to RA 64bit which you download from the official website if you want better speeds)
For GameCube, Wii and 3DS they don’t have achievements yet (3DS May start development late next year) so for now just use Citra MMJ Ubuntu for 3DS and Dolphin MMJR2 for GameCube/Wii (that one varies a lot though)
Hope this was helpful!
isso é incrível
this looks awesome! Any chance of this coming to the steam deck in the future or is this only an android thing?
He’s been getting a lot of comments like that so idk maybe
Update on Daijisho soon? Can't wait 😁
sometime this year seems like
I'd like to see a "favorites" widget. Where ALL of your favorite roms can be accessible in one click vs. having to go into each individual platform section & seeing the favorites just for that platform. I'd like to see all the roms I favorited by clicking on one widget. Other than that, I made this my gaming phone's default launcher. My 2nd choice frontend would be retro x.
Yes this! Was literally thinking about that would also love that with the horizontal view mentioned in the video
Yeah, I would love it if they added android as a platform. And an achievements tab would be awesome too. That said, it is a fantastic front end.
There’s an android platform now but it’s unofficial. You can find a guide on the GitHub page
I need to get this good at editing fr
It started out as a hobby when I was 14. I never studied it in college but I did it a lot during my free time and it kinda just became my full time gig
@@usagishade what program do you use? and do you have any where to start learning how to do hi graphics like this 😭 it is truly so beautiful
**ui
@@solielgainz well I use After Effects. Sometimes I use Photoshop to create my assets from scratch, but i also use After Effects to make them since they keep the properties at full quality no matter what size they are.
U.I. Is pretty easy when you realize it’s just a bunch of basic shapes and text. Some of those shapes become image masks and you can group any layer together to animate certain groups at once without the extra work. Then you can animate that finished animation after setting it as a pre-composition.
It’s a lot of flare but most things are just still images I manipulated a lot. Some menus I didn’t make like the official Daijishō screenshots were masked in certain ways so I could animate everything as if it were all separate items. I guess explaining it made me realize it is kind of complicated but I promise I’m braindead half the time, it’s easy to learn when you try.
Where are the scraped image files saved? And is it possible to chose directory where to save the images?
interesting
Is the Android Platform card going to be implemented? Would be a great way to keep consistency within the launcher
Ah never mind. I see it's included just not active by default
How Setup Retroachivements and ADD android
I hope this comes true. ❤
Q3 of this year will look into my suggestions :)
fingers crossed
How can I make an Android game shortcut on a widget with a big icon like the genshin icon in your video?
there's an unofficial way to install an Android Platform within Daijisho.
You'll have to change the Index URI. Once you select that, you'll see a URL, replace "magneticchen" with "savethekiddes" within the URL and save.
You should be able to download the Android platform now and have full access to your Android games, meaning you can pin them to your widgets page like a regular game.
Hope that helps!
@@usagishade Thank you sir...
1:59 reminds me of PS3 or Vita
smooth transitions in 120hz would be amazing. how do we access your wallpaper pack?
I think it’s somewhere in the settings under “Appearance”
It’s called COLORFUL
I installed this on my own and leg but it every time it was a game it just crashes
How did u add android
This was very well put together although I feel was a little too angled towards retro achievements over anything else.
Personally I would like an option to have a less busy screen. The platform selection screen feels cramped on a Retroid pocket 3. I would like to have no list of systems at the bottom and no button saying download. I also don’t need a share button. I would like it simplified
I felt that way too watching it back the first few times, had a feeling someone would bring that up lol it was mostly unintentional but I did make the video mainly to show the RA mock-ups. Everything else was kind of stemmed from that
@@usagishade really well put together concepts though. I am looking forward to seeing where the developer takes this.
I don't have path button on my rg353p to select the folder
I know this is late but you can Disable kiosk mode in the daijisho settings
I always wondered how to turn a platform like joyplay as an emulator for daijisho. Also your idea is amazing. If that happened people could possibly have a phone who is only a handheld game system it would feel so real. Or any other really. It would also be nice to have a guide in the app for things as well as to bring you to their site or directly be in it. If it's not already a thing.
Could you please finish making your COLORFUL theme? It's missing Virtual Boy, NGP, NGPC, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color for my needs, and likely some others. I know where you got the files, but they only come in video format and it's a single massive 8GB dl... but you probably already have it and could easily take a couple more screenshots like you did for the originals.
I’m assuming Daijisho only lists your retroachievements and doesn’t let you use them with emulators like DraStic that don’t natively support them. That’s feature I’d love to see, however I’m not a developer and I don’t even know if something like native retroachievements support is possible.
No it’s not, the achievement relies on the emulator, not the Frontend.
Daijishō is basically an all-in-one hub that lets you house all of your games and have easy access to your achievement stats as opposed to going to a site or an emulator just to view them.
Little by little we’re trying to integrate achievements to everyday features so that they’re more accessible. I know PPSSPP is looking into adding it to their standalone emulator, sadly I haven’t heard anything from Drastic.
@@usagishade thats what I thought, I wish more stand alone emulators would implement retroachievements but as far as I know the only ones to do this are Retroarch, Duckstation, PCSX2 and I think Aethersx2. Maybe Daijisho could add this feature in a future update assuming it’s even possible, I know nothing about game/app development so I don’t know, but it would be something that sets it out from the other front end’s apart from the fact that it look’s better than others that are currently available.
How did you get that view at 5:23? 😲😲
I don't have that or can't find it
I made it myself. It doesn’t exist (yet)
the dev would have to program it into Daijishō. I made it as an example to show the dev what it can look like.
He won’t be adding many updates until 2023 so it’ll be a while til we see it come to life
@@usagishade Ahh! It honestly look very well polished! Hopefully the developer will add this very soon🙏🙏
why did you just dip after making this? you got good editing, good flow when you speak, and your voice isn't shrill.
Why do all the people with these qualities never make videos, but people who make my ears bleed make 10k vids a year :(
my vids take months to make. currently working on a very big one. hoping to have it out before Xmas :))
Please help with this problem I'm having. I have just discovered this video and I am playing mario 64 DS for my first time using achivements. I'm playing on an android 12 device with Daijsho and Drastic emulator. I saw in the achievements for this game that for one of them you need to collect your first Power Star. I did that and my achivement wasn't recorded on my account. Why could it be the reason of that?
Drastic doesn’t support achievements at this time. Your best bet is to play your DS games through RetroArch via the melonds core (desmume if you’re on PC) for now that’s the only way sadly. For Mario 64 DS you might also need the EUR rom instead of the USA but idk if they recently added support for USA yet.
Which system do you recommend the most for this frontend?
I think it depends on your device. For Odin I have almost everything there but I mainly use PSP, Wii and pretty soon PS2
for my RP2+ I like to have my DS collection, n64, stuff like that
@@usagishade Which Odin model? Is it windows or Android?
@@kamildrews3517 android
If you want a Windows based Odin device I’d wait for the AYN Loki
@@usagishade And Daijishõ only supports Android?
@@usagishade And will this frontend work with Steam Deck, considering it uses SteamOS?
Sexy AF 😎✌️
I wish there are was music player :)
There’s gonna be a widgets update in Q3 this year so there’s going to probably be a way to play through your music while in your home menu.
Right now there’s an unofficial way to add BGM for the launcher but I haven’t made a tutorial yet.
@@usagishade do it!!
Help how to download it on nvidia shield
is it not in the AppStore? You might have to download it from GitHub if that’s the case.
No funciona mas lo de los retroachivment :(
What's the name of your wallpaper pack.
COLORFUL, assets made by Viking, Wallpapers modified by yours truly :)
come back pls
working on it 😮💨
Create more videos you’ll make it fs trust me on this
Brooo how you get the achievement window 🤣
I made it lol
Also the discord link no longer works could you please update it so i can join?
discord.gg/d6kcSCTf
Yeah idk why the invite link always expires, that’s tedious
how did you put android games?
Editing magic
@@usagishade come in please
Retroarchivement not working
Cara biar gak dianggap konten spam gimana bang? Aku udah coba langsung ilang channelnya, coba lagi sama aja. Udah 2x dengan editan rame ttp bsknya ilang channelnya
all this sound like a great idea but making a frontend isn't easy because most emulator dont work with others and some features aren't fully support by others because most of user hate the features, am part of the arc browser discord most of them dislikes dig frontend because it lack of support for emulators like dolphin emulator or drastic or Citra
Try to add some game hacks or translations or Betas or Something else have the same game. You will have a big list with just one name :\ And thats not cool...
you can fix those manually, can’t you?
@@usagishade I don't really know how to do it.
From what I see this frontend looks awesome already, but your ideas would be a really nice touch. Too bad I don't have an Android console and don't plan to use my cell to play games 🥲
recently I've been looking at PC handhelds like the AYANEO Air so I can play around with frontends for Windows based devices.
Android is like the most affordable entry to emulation handhelds so someday I'm sure you'll try it out. There's something for everyone in this kind of market
@@usagishade I'm using a Vita+Retroarch for my retrogaming needs. It works well but it isn't as clean and beautiful as Daijinsho.
I've set my eyes on the RP3. It looks amazing, uses Android and runs some emulators better than Vita... but I have to save to buy it 😅
