Hi Retro gamers on Android,

Papaya is now available in Google Play! 🥳

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sebschaef.papaya

✅ With this Alpha version you can:

• Easily add 19 platforms through 36 emulators to your games collection (There is more to come of course)
• Add additional custom platforms and emulators through a guided configuration
• Easily manage your collection (quickly switch emulators for specific games, scrape more fitting covers for a game etc.)
• Pin game streams from Artemis to your collection
• Display your collection in two different Layouts: Carousel and Grid
• Change the appearance through the Android settings: (Live) wallpapers + Material 3 color schemes
• Start your normal Apps and App Shortcuts

🔄 Some shortcomings at the moment:

• You can’t edit the game details with custom covers yet. But you can source the details from IGDB and TheGamesDB though a search mask.
• No custom scraper settings yet. Currently, IGDB is queried first and TheGamesDB afterwards for the automatic scraping.

Please note that this is an Alpha version, so it’s very possible that you experience crashes or other issues. Please report them either directly through Google Play or in the Discord so I can fix them in time.

📤 Feel free to share the link with others who might be interested in Papaya. The more of us use the Open Alpha, the easier we can resolve issues and identify wanted features, thank you 🧡
