The thing is, when an app does only 1 thing, it’s easy to make sure it does that thing well. It’s going to be a lot of work to support so many different API’s, keep them updated, and provide a good UI/UX.
Yeah. Take the state of game emulation for example. Yes, Retroarch DOES have like 500 emulator “”“cores”“”, all of which can be configured from a single general purpose UI and using a single input layer.
But holy shit does hat UI and input configuration SUCK DONKEY BALLS.
My Anbernic is very happy running 80% of its consoles though it. But I do wish there was something better looking when I have the actual emulation layer running.
