About this app

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GAME!! If you don't know what emulators and front-ends are this app is not for you!


This is an emulator front-end that will painlessly organize your retro game collection.

Little to no set-up is necessary in many cases. Dig will automatically scan your device for games, download cover art, and assign emulators.

However, you must supply your own games and install the emulators yourself. Dig will take you to the Play Store pages of emulators that are not installed.

Other features include

* Support for 83 systems and counting
* Merged game sets
* Android homescreen game launching
* 6 game view types
* customizable themes with (optional) background pictures, videos, and music/sound effects
* voice search
* support for zipped CD images

and more!

Ratings and reviews

Amazing, exactly what I was looking for. Do not regret buying premium, would have paid more. Takes a bit of tweaking to get it to work the way you want, but once you figure out the steps you can really make it shine. Only gripe so far is that when I launch 3DS titles using Citra, it simply opens the Citra emulator rather than launching the title. No other emulators have this problem. If the dev knows of a fix for this, please inform me!

This is running awesomely on my Retroid Pocket 2. I will say, if you use multiple emulators for single consoles, such as using both Retroarch and Mupen64 for N64 games, it can be tedious reassigning each game to go to each emulator. That aside, the app pretty quickly organized and scraped almost all of my games accurately. There were a few that didn't but that was probably due to their file/folder names. All in all i'm super happy with it. I recommend it.

Love this app. A few suggestions however. Introduce some material design theming into the app. This app has a lot of potential, I just wish the interface was more consistent with other apps. Take a look at the material.io website. It has lots of guidelines. I think it would improve a lot of things in your interface. You can implement the retro look into a material design theme while still making it look consistent. Also consider a different icon, maybe a 8bit controller. Also for some reason mario 64 trashman rom for the DS is showing up as a wii game also.
