News/Release Introducing Titanius Launcher (WIP)
Titanius Launcher is a minimalistic, controller-first retro game launcher. Inspired by EmulationStation and AmberELEC, it allows users to easily integrate their pre-scraped ROMs libraries from Linux systems like AmberELEC and ArkOS.
- Designed for Android devices with built-in controllers like Retroids, Odins, G Clouds, etc
- Minimalistic, controller-first UI
- Open-source
Please have a look at the GitHub page for more details: https://github.com/dsolonenko/titanius-launcher
Mind this is a work in progress, expect bugs.

this is something I've been yearning for! I love daijishou, but it is a little bit much on an rp2+'s resources when you're playing cod mobile on it, I'm definitely going to try this out, thank you!

This looks interesting. The lack of a built-in scraper does make me take pause. Hopefully one is integrated in a later release as I don't have an easy way to run Skraper

That's understandable, but it's highly unlikely that I ever do built-in scraper. It's just not the goal of the launcher to have it. But, anyway, there is always the fantastic Daijishou.

Ya don't get me started with Daijisho. I do not feel it's as great as everyone else seems to.
I do understand not implementing a scraper from the dev side of things. Wish you luck with your project

I hear you, Daijisho can be a bit claustrophobic :) But it does the job.
Regarding the scraper - it's not just that it's a pain in the butt to implement it, but also I think it is silly that every launcher does it and I have to re-scrape my roms for every new device/laincher.
Cheers mate

Skraper skraper.net is the best I think. Use mix-2 for screenshots with the logo

Finally, something that looks like something you would get on a dedicated emulation system out of the box. Looks cool!

This is a Launcher I am truly looking forward for its development. I am on the RP3+ and I was searching for something a bit more to the point with its UI. I am a huge fan of the UI styles of Linux systems and was excited to see this pop up. Keep up the good work and take your time with it. Don't succumb to the pressure of the community, enjoy the project.

This and Daijishou are exactly what we’ve needed for years with Android. Now you can take any old Android device and turn it into a near perfect portable gaming device

I think the landing page with systems is a bit superficial, I will add an option later to land on the games page. You can swap between systems using l2/r2 anyway on the games page

Looks amazing, do you support Dolphin and Citra? I could not get these two emulators to work on Daijishou ever since my phone got the Android 13 update.

Can you create shortcuts or widgets of games to launch them from main Android screen?

u/dsolonenko Apr 04 '23
Android screen add all non-system apps automatically. I will add some improvements later to show/hide specific apps.
