Features & Capabilities

Dig - Emulator Front-End is a powerful tool designed to help retro gaming enthusiasts organize and enjoy their extensive game collections with ease. This front-end supports over 83 gaming systems, automatically scans your device for games, downloads cover art, and assigns emulators, minimizing setup time. Users must provide their own games and install emulators, but Dig assists by guiding you to emulator pages on the Play Store if needed.

Key features include merged game sets, Android home screen launching, six different game view modes, and customizable themes with options for background images, videos, and sound effects. It also supports voice search and zipped CD images, delivering a comprehensive and user-friendly retro gaming management experience. For more details and credits, visit the official Dig website.

User Reviews

Users praise Dig for its clean interface, ROM metadata and gallery, and useful front-end features. However, multiple reviews report RetroArch/core integration bugs, unreliable scanning/file detection, stability and Android TV compatibility issues, and limited control over emulator/core selection.

Pros

Well-liked interface and presentation (clean UI, ROM info and gallery)
Rich feature set — users report useful front-end features and metadata for games
Clear role as an emulator front-end (manages existing emulators rather than emulating itself)

Cons

RetroArch/core integration issues — app often says cores aren’t installed, tries to use or install different RetroArch builds, and won’t recognize some cores
Scan/import and file recognition problems — automatic game/emulator discovery frequently fails; manual scans can crash or do nothing; some file types (e.g., PS ISOs, ZIPs) not detected
Stability and compatibility problems on newer devices/Android TV — reports of app or RetroArch freezing/crashing and storage-permission errors on Android TV 12
Limited emulator selection/control — users can’t always choose or use specific emulator builds/cores they have (missing 64-bit or preferred cores)
