iiSU is a new emulation frontend poised to debut on Android devices in Spring 2026. Developed by motion graphics designer Eddie Collazo, the app features a distinctive, polished UI with elements inspired by the Nintendo 3DS and PSP interfaces.
Core Features and Design
The iiSU platform integrates an innovative home screen using customizable widgets to showcase recently played games and media. Unique custom art, original music, and the addition of RetroAchievements enhance the user experience by displaying full achievement sets and in-app notifications.
A notable feature is iiSU's ability to browse and utilize local media, including photos, videos, and music, as custom backgrounds. This offers users a personalized and immersive experience.
Future Developments and Monetization
Planned developments for iiSU include the iiSU Network, adding a social layer with messaging and possible online multiplayer capabilities. Additionally, Shopii will offer a marketplace for custom themes and icons, complemented by iiChannel, an RSS-integrated newsboard.
While many features remain in the mock-up stage, and only basic functionality is currently stable, a public release is targeted for Spring 2026. The core app will be free, with a one-time $4.99 upgrade unlocking additional themes and widgets.
Market Strategy and Availability
iiSU will be exclusively available on Android at launch, with future expansions potentially extending to Linux. The company is leveraging developer builds, community channels, and early adopter contributions to refine the app before its official release.
