New version of what, for me, is the best frontend For classic console video games. Available starting this weekend, it can be downloaded now. ES-DE 3.4The acronym ES-DE stands for EmulationStation Desktop Edition. EmulationStation is used by many projects, but ES-DE makes things much easier and allows its use anywhere.
The changelog is available in your GitLabBut they've also released the video below with the highlights. First, and perhaps because it's what everyone's talking about, is that they've introduced a new feature for display playing timeThis will surely sound familiar if you're a Steam user, where the official launcher shows how long you've played a game. It's also possible for the Steam Deck to display this information for non-Steam games if you use Decky and an additional plugin.
Other notable new features of ES-DE 3.4
Furthermore, ES-DE 3.4 supports dual screensThis type of launcher is expected to be used on many different devices, and some, like the Nintendo DS and similar systems, have one screen on the bottom and another on top. Furthermore, there's an option to launch ROMs in a native emulator. Continuing with the support, it's now possible to launch games from GameNative and GameHub, as well as ARMSX2.
Android has particularly benefited. Google's mobile operating system can now run PlayStation 3 games, thanks to support for aPS3eAt this point we have to remember that there are many PS3 games that don't work well, since the architecture of the third PlayStation is somewhat "special".
ES-DE can now be downloaded from its official website on all supported systems. Linux users can download the AppImage, with Steam Deck users having a special one. Arch-based distribution users can also download it. Download it from AUR.
