This release introduces major new features and enhancements across every part of the launcher, including RetroAchievements integration, multiple display improvements, UI redesigns, and expanded platform support.
iiSU DS is still in Alpha, and although many issues have been fixed, it is not yet ready for daily use. This version is meant to gather feedback and test new systems across different devices.

📱 Pocket DS Note
On the AYANEO Pocket DS, please launch iiSU DS from the bottom screen.
If launched from the top screen, you may need to open a different app on the bottom screen first so iiSU DS displays correctly.
We're actively working with AYANEO to improve this behavior.
