Rapster's Guides - Retro Gaming Frontends for Android

In this video I show and compare the various Retro Gaming Frontends available for Android.

I show each one running on standard Android via my phone and on Android TV via my Nvidia Shield. This is an impartial review and I'm simply trying to show how each frontend works and how they compare.

there is also hyperspin and pegasus that you could take a look at ... i'v recently changed over from launch box to pegasus - setup is a little more involved but the finished product is very polished so for me worth it

Reset collection and daijisho are actually the best 2. Reset collection support videosnaps for every game. Eather you must have the videosnap with the same name as the rom file to be played immediately. Or it can be played from YouTube automatically but only for the games that the frontended have links (not all).
daijisho, i don't know if it support videosnaps, (last time i tried it didn't) but it has it's benefits and is free.
Don't bother for the rest.. Thank me later.

Have you found any frontend that has a wheel like hyperspin or coinops, I haven't found any frontend for android with a nice wheel.
