    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. ;)

    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.
