Russ, great guide. Thanks for sharing.

Scoped storage has ruined the emulator experience on my Android TVs. I can’t get SMB or external USB working with any app. Configuring external USB on my Sony Android TV as adopted storage doesn’t fix the issues. I am not sure if some of my issues are specific to the TV flavor of Android. Google should allow people who know what they are doing to bypass the scoped storage restrictions. I’m guessing someone out there has figured out how to navigate these pitfalls but it’s surely not me.

Hey Russ I wanted to open up an issue which if you check reddit seems like it’s going through some people throughout the community. I setup dijisho and followed your guide which went smoothly, but there is one annoying problem. The achievements on the widgets section doesn’t work at all but achievements works just fine when I play the games, it’s just the widget that I’m having a problem with. Even when I placed my username and password multiple times it just won’t work. And suggestions on what I can do?

Great guide, currently looking at options for Android Handhelds and stuck right now at finding which hardware to grab based on the games I want to play and emulate, it would be nice to see a table or guide on selecting a processor/handheld for a given system. I know that is a lot of work but would be a super nice addition, even better if it had multiple options for a console based on either desired resolution or scaling factor. Another thing to note is that for your Android Front-ends in this guide, ES-DE would be a good addition to this guide.

Hi Russ, I checked the AetherSX2 site and it has been suspended indefinitely by the dev and the version that exists on the Google Play store is loaded with ads. The recommended approach I’ve seen given is to use NetherSX2 (https://nethersx2.com/).

If anybody is not satisfied with the available frontends, I created a new frontend called Beacon Game Launcher. I did my best to make it extremely easy to configure and also I personally think it has the best design out there. Have a look at it if you’re interested: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radikal.gamelauncher

Hi Russ, this is an awesome guide so thank you for that. I’m having this issue with Retro Arch with loading saved states. Basically the option to load any save States is no longer available. I’ve tried using the auto save option when you exit retroArch and enabling auto load and still doesn’t work.

I’m not sure what is causing this or where to look.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated 👍
