TL;DR

• iiSU is an upcoming emulation frontend on Android with a slick UI and social features.
• It will also incorporate RetroAchievements, external media, and even a theme shop.
• The app is still under development, but a public build may be ready as early as next Spring.

When it comes to emulation, the experience often feels less like a console and more like a tedious series of menus and poorly labeled files. Emulation frontends like ES-DE and Beacon try to fix this, but none are as ambitious as iiSU.

First revealed two months ago, a slick new video highlighting planned features was released yesterday. Helmed by experienced motion graphics designer Eddie Collazo (AKA iShade or UsagiShade), iiSU features a level of polish that’s rarely seen outside of first-party hardware from Nintendo and Sony.
