Glad you like my theme (Riivive). Currently working on a new theme, will be adding a lot more system icons. I honestly made Riivive for my own personal use and wasn't expecting it to catch on like it did, so it only had the systems I was using at the time! Also glad to see people have adopted some of the assets I made into their own themes too
@@hijacked6663 Mini-mix is my theme for DIG available on the dig forum. Follow ETA's install instructions near the end of this vid to see how to install it. I've designed it so it looks like you've got a mini/classic console for all the systems that DIG supports.
I didn't think there is a possibility to organize some beloved video games I played in my childhood. I think it's a really good frontend for RetroArch and other emulators. :) I will definitely give it a try for DIG front end.
I'm really thankful for this, I'm fairly new to emulation but this makes it really cool, and thanks alot for all those who can make all these cool themes, I'm really enjoying them, grtz from Belgium
My favorite frontend is plain RetroArch - but, more specifically, XMB. I wish there was an XMB launcher for Android in general. But also for PC. PCXMB was a thing but it's really hard to come by now, which is quite unvortunately as I personally loved the asthetic of the XMB.
@Blitzen In Retroarch, yes. But I wish there was a system-wide XMB for Windows - like an app you launch as a fullscreen application and that does what the XMB did. XMBPC used to do that, by SvenGDK. But unfortunately I can neither find him on Twitter, nor any mirrorings of his work. Very unfortunate.
So glad you've covered Dig. It's a great frontend app that deserves more praise, if only there was more people making great themes for it. Quick question though, have you figured out how to use individual game bezels in this and retroarch on Android. I can get system ones to work but not individual games.
i was on the same boat and i just finished setup, i actually love it much more then individual emulators. just because i like having the game covers and images for each system. i must say however that i feel it is quicker for me to navigate an individual emulator rather then going in this app. also with certain themes they make the box art huge and the downside to that would be that if that specific emulator has hundreds or thousands of games it takes long to scroll to find the one you want to play. but im currently using it because...it looks amazing lol
@@Mikein203 Well you can hear my expirience as well...I am in emulation for like 3 or 4 months now, and strated playing games on stand alone emulators, and i think i finished Pokemon Emerald, like 50% on stand alone emulator and then the other half while using this frontend...I must say that it is very very nice, i use Wii interface and it looks beautifull! So all in all, i would say you should definetly try it because 1.It is free; 2.There are no ads or something, and you can spend money only if you want to support the developers... I was using DIG for maybe 1 month or so, and Reset Collection was the first frontend i used..I must say that DIG is much better option and that it is, not only that it is free (Reset Collectio n is not by the way...), and with no kidding you get much better frontend than the one that costs... I have some expirience with the frontends now, and i would like to exchange some knowlegde i gained through this period of 30 days or so...Im a perfectionist, and i prefer to have 3D box arts, it looks alot better than the 2D ones you saw in the video, but youll need to change the box art alone (its not automaticly possible), individually for each game. But believe me, it looks so much better than the 2D ones...The only problem would be that it is hard to find pictures on Google (of those 3d boxes), so even if you type the name od the game and next to it, like 3D box, it wont work all the time (and sometimes youll get Europian box art, and not the North American or something like that)...So uf you want to look for awesome and consise pictures with very nice quality, type "Launchbox" next to the name of the game...This information is gonna save you alot alot of time, believe me. Maybe you already heard the name of that Windows frontend, but whatever (i said just in case you maybe didn't). So yeah, i think it's definetly worth your time, and everything looks awesome...Im so addicted to it, that i use it to run android games as well, even if it takes more time to do so rather then using a game shortcut on the homescreen...If you need more information, for something about this topic, ask anytime you want...Hope this helps! Cheers :) .
There is maybe one downside to it, PS1 is having some sort of problems...Essentially you need to run the game you want twice, because int he first try it just crashes and gets you back to the game informations page...I had even worse expirience with different games, the one i mentioned happens on Oddworld: Abe's oddyssey...Metal Gear Solid 1 had even worse scenarios...But that may vary from person to person, im using ePSXe emulator (so maybe thats the problem). But you ahould definetly check it out, not to mention that you get a sinopsis for the each game (you can rate the games as well), and can even see the year they were released. Those were few things i forgot to mention.
Been looking for this man. Thanks! I was not having enough patience to discover about the interface by myself and was looking for a short tutorial. Found it from you!
Absolutely 💯! Any developer that continously updates the coding, UI etc basically staying on top of the ball , plus they're application works smoothly or in the process people should withoit a doubt support the developers. If you can't make it yourself and you feel you've gain some kind of assistance ( especially on a daily basis) how could someone not want to let the developers know how proud you are to use their products and what a great service it's worth. Just my 2 cents.
@@mortemincarnatam2836 lmao. I'm not the dev but I requested ETA Prime make a video on free Android emulator frontends before. I've looked at other free options before. Dig seems to be the best of the bunch.
Setting those things up can remind you about old games in your backlog that you just always forget. Then you see the screenshot and the cover... and... yeah, I will finally give Radiant Historia the chance I promised it so long ago. Excuse me, oh sweet game and thanks heaven for DIG XD
What a brilliant guide. Instead of dropping hundreds on a dedicated handheld, you can just buy a 9 year old Android phone like a Note 3 which also has mhl. Got 3gb of ram and a decent processor. Boom. Done.
Just like a few others here I have also made a handful of themes that are available on the website. I also thought it was abandoned as there was an update to the app since last year until recently and also the support forum was over run by spam which has also now been cleaned up. I would say Reset Collection is perhaps more newbie friendly if you are new to front ends but I think DiG is still better at the moment cause its themeable. It has its own scraper but you can also import your own boxart.
Interesting, especially since this is all new to me. Can emulator be added to say an Xbxox 1 with an external hard drive attached for games and Xbox games/live?
So, I may be late to the party, but why are all my game files named "Are You My Mother"? Like ALL of them. And when I click on them, it displays the proper name! Thanks for all the great vids @ETA Prime!
Waiting for my sd card to arrive and doing this soon, its seem simple enough to do it, thanks for the video , already done your video with android box and worked great,
I don't think the tab s7 is overpriced, it has the same performance as an ipad pro if not better and comes with an amazing s pen in the box with no additional prices not to mention it's has a capable "windows like" os called dex which is amazing for productivity
Great vid! Always love your contents. Any chance you can do a nintendo switch emulation video? Trying to find time for those compatible with the egg ns
I know it's probably just way out of your acceptable price range for a video, but I would love to see you use the new surface duo and show how it would work for emulation tasks
Just gave it a go. Definitely easy but no video snaps and the ui is all over the place. Plus I can't use retroarch from the website. Only the play store. I'll keep an eye on it but for now, arc browser is still my go-to. It's harder to set up but it comes quite close to a pc setup on the go.
The beginning of your video with your channel name and the suited cyborg playing an oldies on the tv...I can’t exactly remember what’s the name of the game but somehow I think I have seen it before? Lol
Cool video I use maximus norm for Windows this is a good intermediary for android however it takes alot longer than 4 mins to add game n box art espec when adding ovr 8k of games and multiple systems at once oppps mines still scanning 30mins later
For some reason Dig won't properly launch Retroarch anymore after the latter got updated to where it can't access the SD card where my games are saved. Now it's just a black screen and I have to forcefully close Retroarch in order to get out from it.
Great alternative for launchbox, I am sad they felt they had to abandon android, in my humble opinion launchbox is the king of front ends, anyhow dig is a great product also, it works well and has decent customization, I have it on my phone and also on my fire tv stick and gets the job done. I really enjoy the vid, keep up the great content
@@SamMcKeown yes with an OTG cable was easy enough to run dig, I think the app needs to run on internal storage but all extra stuff like music, videos, images etc can be stored in external USB as well as the roms, currently I upgraded to an Nvidia shield but to be honest for emulation was kind of a waste since you can barely run GameCube and it's a very expensive device.
Most tablets can run those, TBH. N64 runs really well on Android, so even lower end hardware can run it. And PS1 can run on very low end hardware as well. If you're unsure, lookup the model on emulation forums/youtube reviews. :)
Thanks ETA, i've been reading this Dig frontend for some time and have it a go recently, i thought i'll be uninstalling it but just watched your vid and it enticed me to use it, that themes section made me use it, thanks for every informative vids, always keep rockin'!!
I just installed RetroArch to use it with DIG, but I don't even have a third of the emulator cores shown in this video. For example for GBA I have only mGBA available and here we can ass three or more. Is there some setting that adds more cores to the list?
me too, missing a lot, e.g. the shown "SNES 9x 2010", instead there is only "Nintendo - SNES /SFC (Snes9x - bsnes)" and "Nintendo - SNES /SFC (Snes9x - Current)". Choosing e.g. "....Current" and starting the game in Dig gives me only a black screen.
I've tried to get it to work and spent hours but this is just not working. Whenever I configure Retroarch, the changes don't stay. I guess it wasn't updated for the latest Android version.
I really enjoy your channel I’ve learned a lot about emulation lately and And feeling inspired, I went ahead and purchased a Nubia RedMagic pro 5s. I’ve never been particularly lucky with retro arch but I’ve never failed so much either. I don’t know how you manage to get retro arch working, let alone take a Saturn, or any system that requires a bios. Would you be able to do a full tutorial an android 10 and had to go about making it work. I’ve tried for a week and haven’t been able to get anywhere and this is after spending close to $800 on a very nice phone. Thanks again
Unless if you want to be stylish, I don't think this is necessary if you have retroarch since it's basically just a emulator/plugin loader like retroarch.
ETA caused a surge of interest in the system, and the server the themes were on went over the allotted bandwidth. LOL. It's supposed to be fixed now though.
LOL- You need to update this review. It does not load up that way now (storage issues) and has has sucked, not long after you posted this video. Compared to Launch Box now, this is a buggy non storage working mess. It was amazing, prior to Android updates.
How the great Dig fell and hard. Dig devs have not adapted well to scoped storage, so MAME and others don’t work, regardless of internal or external storage. Reluctantly moved to Launch Box, but it works well and grow on me. Bought it, as well.
I wish this worked for me. Whenever I try to launch a game the screen just goes black. They work fine if I just start them from Retroarch, but whenever I try launching from Dig, I just get a Black screen and have to force close everything. I've tried using the default cores it asks for, and different cores, but no luck either way.
Wouldn't for me either. I got it to work but its very specific when it comes to the core you use. If DIG says "SNES9X 2010" it'll only work (or at least for me) with that specific date of core. "SNES9X current" wouldn't work. bsnes (just that...no add ons) works fine but means you gotta reconfigure it though. Hope that helps.
@@thedionesian511 I initially tried the exact cores that DIG asked for, but it didn't work. It was only after being unsuccessfull with the core it asked for, that I tried other cores. again, without success. I have seen a few different fixes that have worked for others, but have not found any that have worked for me.
I can run retroarch but cannot config . It like an isolated retroarch that cannot be configurated. Butbit only happen whenrunning tru dig. Inñf i run stand alone retroarch it works
Dig works with my s21 but no longer works on my odin i go to scan for roms and it instantly crashes i downloaded the 1-44-1 version apk and installed that instead and it works perfect
wont scan for my roms, i put them in retroarch download folder. it doesnt even try to scan my device at all even when i manually choose the folder to search
I use Dig on my phone and I have to say that unless you are strictly using Retroarch as the backend....it sucks. Most themes do not even have the proper aspect ration for your phone as well as icons for most systems. If you are trying to use this with standalone emulators....best of luck.
Want to ask a newby question; I know what emulator, rom and frontend is, but what is a core? Second of all thank you for these videos. Especially this one I was looking forward to when I heard about Dig. And to the guys in the comments: which themes do you recommend?
@@tumaien4188 Thanks. Basically you open emulators in Retroarch which is an emulator itself? Wii one does look nice. No music and moving image on a TV. Its more relaxing.
Glad you like my theme (Riivive). Currently working on a new theme, will be adding a lot more system icons. I honestly made Riivive for my own personal use and wasn't expecting it to catch on like it did, so it only had the systems I was using at the time! Also glad to see people have adopted some of the assets I made into their own themes too
I liked your theme but looks like doesn't show correctly on phones with 21:9 screens or similars can do you a fixed version for that?
I saw this and as someone who grew up with Wii, I absolutely love it. Thanks to you, Dig is my new android gaming frontend!
@@d_the_great Thank you, that means a lot! I'm glad others can enjoy it, makes all the work totally worth it
@@royerxd3212 what phones are 21:9 ?

4 minutes to download covers for just 100 or so games? Holy hell... It's gonna take a freaking week for my collection....
nice
Do you happen to know how to add thumbnails that doesn't show up after you've searched for the artwork? Mostly for homebrew games
It can't detect my games on my miui 13 os phone (x3 pro) even after setting the directories properly
Hey, so could you upload a mirror to the riivive theme? I'm trying to download it, but I get a download traffic exceeded. I will really appreciate it.
You can download it now, the issue was fixed.
ETA caused a surge of interest in the system, and the server the themes were on went over the allotted bandwidth. LOL. It's supposed to be fixed now though.
LOL- You need to update this review. It does not load up that way now (storage issues) and has has sucked, not long after you posted this video. Compared to Launch Box now, this is a buggy non storage working mess. It was amazing, prior to Android updates.
Niiiiiiiiice. It's almost like SNESES or Blast16, but for Android.
How the great Dig fell and hard. Dig devs have not adapted well to scoped storage, so MAME and others don’t work, regardless of internal or external storage. Reluctantly moved to Launch Box, but it works well and grow on me. Bought it, as well.
I have DIG on Nvidia Shield and I can scan an external HDD with games. It is a slow process but it is working.
@@malizair The issue is scoped storage with Android 12. The Dig devs did a poor job updating for it.
@@rushmore3927 I got an old phone that only goes to Android 10 would you say Dig was any good on that version?
@@damarlboromans Yep!
front end emulation for Android is fairly new,let's expect it works out well.
Thank you for this video.
I wish this worked for me. Whenever I try to launch a game the screen just goes black. They work fine if I just start them from Retroarch, but whenever I try launching from Dig, I just get a Black screen and have to force close everything. I've tried using the default cores it asks for, and different cores, but no luck either way.
Wouldn't for me either. I got it to work but its very specific when it comes to the core you use. If DIG says "SNES9X 2010" it'll only work (or at least for me) with that specific date of core. "SNES9X current" wouldn't work. bsnes (just that...no add ons) works fine but means you gotta reconfigure it though. Hope that helps.
@@thedionesian511 I initially tried the exact cores that DIG asked for, but it didn't work. It was only after being unsuccessfull with the core it asked for, that I tried other cores. again, without success. I have seen a few different fixes that have worked for others, but have not found any that have worked for me.
Warning: this is dated. Dig no longer works properly. Neither does Retroarch. Dig can't scan Retroarch.
Thanks man I’ve been using an hour trying to figure this out it’s a shame because it looks good
I can run retroarch but cannot config . It like an isolated retroarch that cannot be configurated. Butbit only happen whenrunning tru dig. Inñf i run stand alone retroarch it works
Use Lemuroid instead
@@HYPERPEACE it works just fine even now. You can customise it to find whatever you want
dang. I already had reset collection. I guess I'll get dig
Very cool frontend.
Would you be able to run this on the Nvidia Shield?
I would like to know also.
Works great on Nvidia Shield.
@@andychaloner9889 Thank you!
Yep
Dig works with my s21 but no longer works on my odin i go to scan for roms and it instantly crashes i downloaded the 1-44-1 version apk and installed that instead and it works perfect
Thanks man for this vids
wont scan for my roms, i put them in retroarch download folder. it doesnt even try to scan my device at all even when i manually choose the folder to search
I cant believe they finally updated Dig aleluya
When I click browse theme no web page comes up
I use Dig on my phone and I have to say that unless you are strictly using Retroarch as the backend....it sucks. Most themes do not even have the proper aspect ration for your phone as well as icons for most systems. If you are trying to use this with standalone emulators....best of luck.
Want to ask a newby question; I know what emulator, rom and frontend is, but what is a core?
Second of all thank you for these videos. Especially this one I was looking forward to when I heard about Dig.
And to the guys in the comments: which themes do you recommend?
Core is a emulator that u use in retroarch. And for recommended themes definetely the wii theme. That theme is amazing
@@tumaien4188 Thanks. Basically you open emulators in Retroarch which is an emulator itself? Wii one does look nice. No music and moving image on a TV. Its more relaxing.
i wish amlogic made a tablet with s905x2 or s905x3
