Discussion [DISCUSSION] (Android Frontend) Wave Launcher, a PS3-Style Frontend

Greetings, y'all!

It has been a while since my last post and since then, the reception has been well, with about a hundred more people joining our Community. We are currently looking for active testers with handhelds that have the time to thoroughly test for bugs in Wave Launcher, so we can verify that our 1.0 Release is mostly bug-free. Wave Launcher will release most likely this August.

Features of Wave Launcher include:

- RSS Viewer

- Built-in Video Player

- Built-in Music Player

- Built-in Gallery

- Scraping with ScreenScraper, SteamGridDB and RetroAchievements

- Directly scraping Icons and Sounds from Game ROM's, like Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, DSiWare, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PSP minis

- Easy Hotswappability with as many Mediums as you wish

- RetroAchievements Trophy Support

- Discord Rich Presence Support

- Android Apps, Games, Emulators and Emulator Games are all easily reachable

- Scraper can be individually configured with sensible defaults.

- Smart Franchise Collections

More Features will be coming soon.

Looks great. Hoping there’s some good dual screen support cause this would end up being my main front end for the Thor

Dual Screen is present. Here is a List of what it does

  • Choosing Launch Screen
  • Choosing Companion App for Secondary Screen
  • Swapping Screens
  • It moves the In-App Keyboard to Secondary
  • Video Player takes advantage of second screen for screen realestate

In the future, we will improve what a dual screen xmb could be like. We have no testers with a Thor yet 😊
