Brilliant game launcher, made by a great dev team. Developer responded to my review immediately and offered a solution to my issue: When trying to sync games for emulators that are not listed by default in the launcher, (Lynx and WonderSwan emulators), the games don't show up. The dev suggested deleting app and re-syncing all emulators and games. A workable solution, but could be improved with an update that could include more console emulators available in store. Still the best launcher!

Why emulators and file types do you use for those consoles that don't appear? Can you also try an app restart and delete and re-add the consoles that don't show up?

So I want to say that I really want to like this front end.I've been told how simple, minimal, and light weight it is, and it was true... mostly. I ran into trouble launching a few platforms, and after some research, I found I had to make a custom path to correctly launch, which i'm personally not too savvy in. So, if you're an advanced user, this could be decent, but for me, not so much. This app has a lot of potential, so I guess I'll keep it around.

Launching games should work 99% of the time. Making custom launch commands is an advanced feature only required when things don't work by default. Can you share with me on the Discord what emulators did not work for you by default and what commands fixed it? I want to make them work out of the box if it's not something specific to your device only

My main launcher !! if there's anything I could add, it would be to allow the wallpapers to appear after a brief second, like at most 1 full second after hovering over a game. while scrolling through them, the wave background can be there as default. another cool feature would be allowing us to add an audio track or video that plays when hovering over a game for over a second. think of how the PSP did this in the xmb menu! maybe have the rest of the library vanish when a game is in focus.
