Indie Game Station (Open-Source Launcher)

A while ago, I made a launcher app with some fancy features as a hobby project for myself. I added to it since then and decided to release the source code. Detailed description on the game page.

https://jcgames.itch.io/igs

Here are some of the features I was able to add:

  • Game Scanner that will scan your designated games directory and add them to the list without having to fiddle with config screens.
  • Custom Thumbnails that can be added for each game.
  • Fullscreenizer which can stretch windowed games to borderless fullscreen, even if they don't natively support it.
  • Joystick to Keyboard support using AntiMicro v2.23. Each game can have a unique custom profile that gets loaded on game start.

I think I'm done fooling with it for now, so if anyone wants to add to it or build their own version, go right ahead!
