gamepad-first Android launcher for retro gaming handhelds with native RomM integration.**\n\nSync your entire game library from your self-hosted [RomM](https://github.com/rommapp/romm) server, download games and BIOS files on demand, track your achievements, and play across devices with automatic save sync—all from a controller-native interface designed for Anbernic, Retroid Pocket, Odin, and similar devices.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"400\" alt=\"Home Screen\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/931e1f4a-e0a1-46a9-a7ce-e712c0d558cc\" /\u003e\n\n## Feature Highlights\n\n### Native RomM Client\nFirst-class integration with [RomM](https://github.com/rommapp/romm). Sync your entire library with rich metadata from IGDB—cover art, descriptions, genres, franchises, player counts, and more. Your collection, your server, your handheld.\n\n### Automatic Downloads\nDownload ROMs and BIOS files directly from your RomM server. Games are automatically sorted by platform. Queue multiple downloads and let Argosy handle the rest.\n\n### Save Sync\nContinue playing across devices. Bidirectional save sync with your RomM server keeps your progress in sync automatically. Conflict detection ensures you never lose data.\n\n### RetroAchievements\nView your earned achievements and track your progress. Argosy displays achievement data synced from your RomM server, showing what you've unlocked and what's left to earn.\n\n### Collections\nOrganize your library your way. Create custom collections, or use smart collections like \"Top Unplayed\", \"Recently Added\", and \"Most Played\". Pin your favorites to the home screen for quick access.\n\n### Gamepad-First Design\nBuilt for controllers from the ground up. Navigate your entire library, manage downloads, and launch games without ever touching the screen. Full D-pad, analog stick, and button support.\n\n## Customize Your Experience\n\n### Video Wallpaper\nSet YouTube video previews as dynamic backgrounds on the home screen. Watch trailers and gameplay footage while browsing your collection.\n\n### Ambient Audio\nAdd background music to your browsing experience. Select any audio file to play while navigating your library.\n\n### Display Customization\nFine-tune the visual experience:\n- **Themes**: Light, dark, or system-matched\n- **Backgrounds**: Blur, saturation, and opacity controls for game art backgrounds\n- **Box Art Styles**: Adjust grid density, aspect ratio, and visual effects\n- **Sound Effects**: Add audio feedback to navigation with built-in presets or custom sounds\n\n## Smart Emulator Management\n\n### Auto-Detection\nArgosy automatically detects installed emulators and assigns them to the appropriate platforms. No manual configuration required for most setups.\n\n### RetroArch Core Selection\nWhen using RetroArch, select specific cores per platform. Argosy manages core selection so you launch with the right emulator every time.\n\n### Multi-Disc Games\nPlayStation and other multi-disc games are handled automatically. When you launch a multi-disc game, Argosy presents a disc picker so you can choose where to start.\n\n### Supported Emulators\nRetroArch, PPSSPP, DuckStation, AetherSX2, Dolphin, DraStic, melonDS, Mupen64Plus FZ, Pizza Boy, Lime3DS, Azahar, Flycast, Redream, and more.
