Hey there, i switched to Linux a few years ago and the software i missed the most was LaunchBox. There are alternatives like AttractMode, Pegasus and so on but they either lacked in functionality or in presentation. Since it doesnt seem that there will be an alternative in the near future i worked over the last three months on my own tool, and I released an alpha on GitHub. If you are a Linux user and are interested, I’d be happy to share what I have so far: Retromind Please be aware that this is a a really early alpha version of the tool...so handle your game collection with care What the tool can do at the moment - Fully flexible content tree on the left (you decide the structure) - Treat anything executable as an emulator and assign it to any node in the tree (with inheritance through the sub-nodes) - Mass import or manual import of media items (games, movies, ebooks, …) - Assign graphics and music to your media items which is used in CoreMode and BigMode - Flexible launcher logic for emulators and native programs (wrappers, env variables, Wine prefix support) - Scraper functionality (currently IGDB, TMDB, Google Books, OpenLibrary, ComicVine – requires your own API keys) - Optional BigMode / controller-friendly UI (only simple themes so far, but you can design your own in AXAML) Is this as good as Launchbox/Playnite...: Hell NO. This tool has been in the works for about three months, there are probably a gazillion bugs and a lot of functionality is still missing. But if you want to have a look and maybe give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it 🙂
