CATii Frontend Announced, Immediately Declares War On iiSU

So CATii just dropped—announcing itself as the “AI-free” savior of dual-screen emulation… while its promo video looked like it was generated by a bored AI on caffeine. 🤖💥

The developer, arthie, went full culture-war mode on iiSU, calling it “a mess of AI,” only for Reddit users to immediately point out CATii’s own UI and video had all the hallmarks of AI-generated fluff. Irony? More like a mirrored selfie in a funhouse.

But here’s the twist: CATii isn’t just another launcher. It’s a single-process, RetroArch-meets-Stremio beast where you tap to install NES or Dreamcast cores like ordering a coffee. No 200 menus. Just “boom, play.” Plus, cloud sync for saves and settings? That’s actually kinda smart—if it works.

The real question isn’t whether AI helped build it… but will it run? The promise is huge: unified, simple, family-friendly. But history’s littered with “revolutionary” emulators that vanished after a demo reel.

We’re skeptical. But hey—if arthie delivers even half of what’s promised, we’ll be first in line. Just maybe… don’t post the AI-generated hype video again? 😉
