Description

For those who don't know: The Android version of Dolphin has got a new UI that is designed for Android TV devices like the NVIDIA SHIELD. See this: https://youtu.be/9MVjJkKUda8

I would like to have access to a similar GUI when I am playing Games using Dolphin on my Windows computer - so why not add this GUI to the other versions? Of course it should be something optional, not the default GUI you see when you start Dolphin. Maybe one could add a button that leads to this interface - something like Steam's Big Picture Mode.

I like to play games using Dolphin on my TV or my tablet using Steam In-home-streaming and NVIDIA GameStream. When I launch Dolphin, I am welcomed by a not very intuitive or stylish interface - it is hard to use it on the small screen of a tablet or on a 46" TV that's 2.5 metres away. I think this would be a good addition to the application - and it shouldn't be that hard to port something that's already in one version to the others (although it looks like it is using some of Android's UI APIs).

This would be a great feature for all the users that have their gaming rig attached to their TV or that use Game Streaming services like Steam In-Home-Streaming, GameStream or Moonlight (formerly Limelight). :)
