Game Launcher Pro - Game Mode

Game Launcher Pro puts the games on your phone and your emulator games (ROM files) on one shelf with cover art. While you play, it can silence notifications and calls, lock brightness and rotation, and show temperature and battery in a corner. Back on the shelf, every setting it changed is restored.

ONE SHELF FOR ALL YOUR GAMES
Installed games are added automatically. Add anything it missed from the app list, or remove apps that aren't games. Emulator apps stay off the shelf.

ROM FOLDERS, SORTED BY SYSTEM
Pick your ROM folder and files are sorted by system from folder names and extensions, or set the system per folder. Tracks and discs behind .cue, .gdi and .m3u files are hidden, so each game appears once. 28 systems are supported, from home consoles and handhelds to arcade. Unplug the SD card and your play history stays.

COVER ART, NO DOWNLOADS
An image with the ROM's name (next to it or in folders like covers or boxart) becomes its cover, or pick your own. Games without one get a cover drawn from the system color and title. Nothing is downloaded. Choose box, square or wide covers in three sizes.

EMULATORS ASSIGNED FOR YOU
An emulator is picked for each system from the ones installed. Change it per system or per game and choose the RetroArch core per system. If a launch fails, the app explains why and lets you switch in one tap.
Without a purchase you can use RetroArch, PPSSPP and Dolphin; RetroArch covers almost every system through its cores. Premium adds all 40 supported emulators and "Ask every time".

FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT
D-pad to choose, A to start, B back, X favorite, Y details, L1/R1 shelves, SELECT search, START settings. Swap A/B and X/Y if you prefer.

GAME MODE
A game started from the shelf gets these only while you play:
- Do Not Disturb (alarms only, total silence or your exceptions)
- Fixed brightness and orientation
- Screen kept on
Everything is restored when you return, even after a crash or restart. With usage access, only on-screen time counts and game mode ends after 20 seconds in another app.

AN HONEST HUD
Show battery temperature and level, power draw, memory, CPU frequency, time and play time in a corner, in the size and opacity you like. The HUD ignores touches.
Android has no public way to read another app's FPS, so the HUD normally shows the refresh rate as "Hz" and never calls it FPS. Grant one permission once from a computer to see real FPS and CPU temperature.

BREAK AND BATTERY ALERTS
Break reminders every 30 to 120 minutes, plus low battery and 45 °C battery alerts.

PLAY TIME RECORDS
Time, launches and last played for each game; today, 7 days and all time; daily charts; most played games. Screen-off time is not counted, and Android's own foreground time is shown too.

SHELF TOOLS
Favorites, Recent, Android and per-system shelves; four sort orders; search, rename, hide or pick a random game. Add home screen shortcuts that start game mode, or use the Quick Settings tile for games opened elsewhere.

PREMIUM (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
The shelf, game mode, HUD, records and launching with RetroArch, PPSSPP and Dolphin work without a purchase. One purchase unlocks these for good. It is not a subscription.
- All 40 supported emulators and "Ask every time"
- Use as your home app
- Five color themes (Light, Dark and System need no purchase)

PERMISSIONS
All optional. Usage access counts on-screen time; display over other apps shows the HUD; Do Not Disturb access silences calls; modify system settings locks brightness and orientation; notifications show that game mode is on. No accessibility service or all-files access is used, and only the ROM folders you choose are read.

PLEASE NOTE
No games, ROMs or BIOS files are included, and the app does not tell you where to get ROMs. Emulators are separate apps. The app does not make your phone faster or raise FPS.
