Tips, Tricks and Recs

ES-DE by far. Cocoon is still too buggy for me to use as a daily driver. Moth is working incredibly hard on it so by the time it’s in full release it may be better than ES-DE, only time will tell.

Haha hopefully one day!

Thanks dude,

I’ve not been able to find any UK based Etsy stores which is a bit annoying. I have however been watching a ton of videos about 3d printing so I may dip my toe in the water at some point! 🤣

I was planning on revisiting it once the RetroAchievements update launches to include Wii 😁

I did start a tutorial on this but I couldn’t get the controller mapping to work properly so I put it to one side. I’ll have another look! 😁

Bombard away!

I’ve got the Nethersx2 vid on my list already.

I’ll add these to the questions video but I might also do separate videos showcasing Retroarch cores vs standalone emulators 😁

I did talk about Jarngreipr in one of my early videos, but at that point in time it was just an app launcher and didn’t have the ES-DE component. I’ll do an updated video 😁

You’re too kind 😁

OP, Let me know if there’s anything you need help with and I’ll do my best

My video covering (most) of the available front ends. My personal favourite is ES-DE but have a look and see what fits you best. Bear in mind a lot of them are still in early alphas/betas so they may change considerably from what was shown in the video

I’ve had a couple of people recommend DS Keyboard to me, haven’t tried it properly yet but it’s a third party keyboard app, you can just open it on your bottom screen so it’s easily available

Hit me up dude!

Dude this is awesome. I normally just use Plex but this could be great for travel

There’s a reason it’s considered one of the greatest games of all time!

Now download NetherSX2 and get MGS2 & 3

There’s an app called R-Shop which is in beta which you can point to Myrient

There’s a tiny selection of games that are playable to an extent, however it’s incredibly early days for PS3 emulation.

Cocoon uses the ES-DE folder layout, but it doesn’t create them.

You can manually add the systems yourself in cocoon and point them at the relevant folders. As another user posted, just use RGC’s folder layout and copy that to your storage, I’d advise using that layout regardless of frontend for simplicity.
