## What it is
Daijishō is a retro game launcher for Android that organizes and manages retro game libraries across installed emulators, with themes, wallpaper packs, and widgets. The app itself is closed-source; this repository hosts assets, documentation, and issue tracking.

## Use cases
- launch retro games from a unified android home screen
- manage multiple emulator game libraries in one place
- customize a retro gaming frontend with themes and wallpapers
- organize roms by platform on an android device
- set up hotkeys for controller navigation in a game launcher

## When to choose
- you want a polished, free launcher frontend for android emulators without bundling emulators
- you want an integrated, aesthetic library UI with widgets and theme support

## When to avoid
- you need open-source software you can modify or audit - the app is closed-source
- you expect built-in emulators - it only launches external emulator apps
- you are not on Android
