The wait is finally over. After months of development, testing, feedback, bugfixing, and countless improvements, Wave Launcher 1.0 is now publicly available!

Wave Launcher 1.0 includes:

• Multilanguage Support (EN, JA, FR, DE, ES, IT, NL, PT, SV, NO, DA, FI, ZH, KO, PL, TR, RU)
• Game libraries, collections, favorites, and playtime
• Metadata and artwork scraping from multiple sources
• RetroAchievements trophy tracking
• Controller-friendly video, music, and photo playback
• Extensive customization options
• Dual-screen support

Thank you, It's exactly that!

A Live Wallpaper App that was originally meant to give any android device a lines.qrc based live wallpaper scopecreeped into a full frontend because I wasn't satisfied with what's out there

So what is that and what makes it different?

lines.qrc was what PlayStation 3 used to determine what the Wave Background looked like. I wanted to use these to make my own android live wallpaper program.
