Six years ago I created this topic/proposal
I’ve now managed to create this usable—albeit buggy—version so I can show developers and users my idea and how it could improve the RetroArch user experience, rendering many launchers unnecessary that currently aim to simplify the user experience.
It’s not everything I’d like to change, nor is it as polished as I’d like, but I think it’s functional enough that we can talk about it.
You can see the mockup working here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXdJ-cuNbQ
It’s important to remark that the idea is not lost any feature of actual retroarch, only improve the UX, so nobody need to be hurt in this proposal although the mockup cannot show some feature.
