Updated guide! Use this one! https://youtu.be/X-bVwlMwobE
ES-DE (EmulationStation Desktop Edition) has been ported over to Android, and it provides a seamless, robust frontend experience that rivals any other frontend out there. In this video I'll show you how to install and configure the app, plus how to make it your primary launcher, too.
UPDATE: ES-DE is no longer on the Amazon Appstore, but available directly from the developer via their Patreon as a one-time purchase. Here is an updated video: https://youtu.be/DJSmGgTofZU
This setup guide still applies in all respects other than where to get the app itself!
