I have an idea for you: You make a GUI in PS Vita style for RetroArch. GUI is great for SteamDeck, ASUS Rog Ally, Aya Neo, OneXPlayer, GPD Win and similar. I made a mickup and a panel tint2. PSVita

Honest question, why the thumbs downs?

The problem with adding a new menu to RA is that it'll require writing an outright ludicrous amount of code, so any proposal will have to cover all the bases first. Sure, this looks like a nice home screen for touch-based devices. I don't like it - half the icons take time to decipher - but let's roll with it. What would it look like for a library of 35 thousand titles across 20 platforms? What would the settings menu work and look like? The playlists menu? The game database? The whole idea may fall apart before even the first line of code is written.
