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 🧡

    This is nice. I’ll switch over to this from Beacon. For Gamehub, the icon doesn’t load. Once that edit the tiles, then I’ll be able to fix Moonlight, the PC streaming. Everything always scrapes it to some random game with Moonlight in the name

      Thank you for trying it! It makes me happy that you like it so far :)

      I plan to add a proper GameHub (Lite) support in the next update which hopefully fixes this issue for you. For Moonlight, it seems that I completely missed that there is a standalone App, because I was using Artemis for this myself, sorry. Will add the support in the next update as well.
