News iisu, Thoughts ?

[Hawx]

Hi everyone, recently a full presentation of the new emulation front end (iisu) got announced and i was thinking about making a video about it, didn't see any other threads about it so i think i might be one of the first ones ?
if you don't know what im talking about here is the full presentation

it exploded everywhere specially reddit but most the people there have negative opinions about it and seeing it as "ambitious" more than totally doable
i kinda see their side and yeah it looks risky from one point but if it wasn't i don't think it would be this appealing in the first place, high risk high reward, i think this can be the next Retro arch and the future of emulation in my humble opinion, what do you think ?

Olá a todos, recentemente foi anunciada a apresentação completa da nova interface de emulação (iisu) e eu estava pensando em fazer um vídeo sobre isso. Não vi nenhum outro tópico sobre o assunto, então acho que posso ser um dos primeiros?
Se você não sabe do que estou falando, aqui está a apresentação completa.

A ideia viralizou em todos os lugares, especialmente no Reddit, mas a maioria das pessoas lá tem opiniões negativas a respeito, considerando-a "ambiciosa" em vez de totalmente viável.
Eu meio que entendo o lado deles e, sim, parece arriscado de um ponto de vista, mas se não fosse, acho que não seria tão atraente em primeiro lugar. Alto risco, alta recompensa. Acho que isso pode ser o próximo RetroArch e o futuro da emulação, na minha humilde opinião. O que você acha?

PrimeiroFirst, let me introduce myself. My name is lod. I think I'm ambitious, but I don't have the patience to configure everything. I don't know how to configure anything. I think it would be good if they released a video tutorial.I think it's a good thing.

seems they're dreaming big and i hope to see it completed as envisioned, but at least in the configuration shown it doesn't really look as good as ES-DE android to me. can't say i really have any interest in the social features. it's something that i would certainly try out, as i do most android frontends, but i doubt it could take me away from ES-DE. maybe if the themes are as varied it could entice me over.

i'm a bit concerned that nintendo will try to kill it, though. they're certainly not being quiet about their visual inspirations. i don't particularly think nintendo would win a lawsuit against it, but i also don't think the project would survive a lawsuit, and i'm sure nintendo would agree.

One word. Peak!

It looks awesome don't get me wrong, and I wish them the best of luck....

@CyberRabbit showed me this the other day as well. But it doesn't do anything that Batocera and RetroArch don't already do, aside from a bell and whistle or two, and they are asking for money for certain things like themes, which I don't remember if RetroArch does, but Batocera does freely.

Unless the theme maker wants to charge, but that's not on Batocera.

I don't really need another frontend myself when Batocera, as I said, does everything this does and less cartoony looking.

Seems cool, REALLY COOL. But yeah, it is hard not to get skeptic when someone is being so ambitious, especially with a (i think) small team and none to small budget. For now might be best to stay positive though, there is already too much negativity in the emulation space. And this guy at least sounds chill in the presentation.

The reason why I think there are paid features in iiSU is to pay for online features tbh

That would be a fair point I would think....

And if that's why, I can understand it. Nothing is free, not even revenge.... <coughs>
Anyway, most likely that's why, it pays for the social server costs. Again if you're into it, it looks really polished and well done. Just not my cup of rum, you know.

is the developer well known in the emulation scene? because it surprised me that it got this much attention in such short time. i also read some of reddit posts and a lot of positive comments posted there are from bots which got me worried.

It’s a front end which means another Batocera or Retroarch which means another option out there. It never hurts to have options or any form of alternative as long as one differs at least a bit from one another.

not interested

And it seems to be for or at least has, an Android version, which is something Batocera doesn't have. So, good news for Android fans, I suppose.

Never been a fan of Android emulation, or mobile phone emulation in general.
Seems pretty awful, honestly...

Wait did i Type that or think that?
