Swordfish90/Lemuroid
Lemuroid
Lemuroid is an Android multi-system emulator and Libretro frontend designed to run games from multiple vintage gaming systems through a single interface. It functions as a retro gaming library manager that scans local storage for game files and organizes them into a searchable catalog.
The application includes a cloud-synced save manager to preserve game progress across different devices via remote storage. It also features a virtual gamepad interface that allows for custom input mapping across physical controllers, tilt sensors, and on-screen touch overlays.
Additional capabilities cover game state management, local multiplayer support, and the application of visual filters to simulate the appearance of legacy CRT or LCD hardware.
Features
- Emulation Core Frameworks - Utilizes the Libretro API to integrate multiple emulator cores into a single unified frontend application.
- Emulator Frontends - Acts as a graphical interface that manages emulation cores and game libraries for the Libretro framework.
- JNI Bridges - Uses JNI bridges to facilitate communication between the Java-based Android UI and native C-based emulator cores.
- Game Emulation - Provides software for playing classic games by emulating a variety of legacy hardware systems.
- Game Library Organization - Organizes discovered game files into user-defined collections and searchable libraries.
- ROM Collection Scanning - Automatically discovers and identifies game ROM files across local storage to build a searchable library.
- Retro Gaming Frameworks - Provides a platform to organize ROM sets and manage legacy disk images in a searchable catalog.
- Console Emulators - Executes legacy console software by translating original processor instructions for modern Android hardware.
- Android Game Emulators - Functions as a mobile application for running games from multiple vintage gaming systems through a single interface.
- Native Core Implementations - Implements performance-critical emulation logic in compiled C code to ensure high-speed hardware simulation.
- Game Input Mapping - Translates raw hardware inputs from gamepads, touch overlays, and sensors into high-level game commands.
- System File Indexers - Provides an indexing engine designed for rapid retrieval and organization of local ROM files from the file system.
- Emulator Save State Managers - Captures and restores the volatile memory state of emulated games for instant resumption of play.
- Cloud Sync for Game Saves - Syncs game save backups to cloud storage for progress preservation across different devices.
- Shader Filter Applications - Applies GPU-accelerated shader filters to rendered output to create retro and stylized visual effects.
- Vintage Display Simulation - Recreates visual artifacts and characteristics of legacy monitors, such as CRT scanlines, using shaders.
- Vintage Hardware Simulation - Simulates the physical visual characteristics of legacy CRT and LCD hardware through software filters.
- Controller Input Mapping - Allows mapping of controls to physical gamepads, tilt sensors, and on-screen touch overlays.
- Touch-to-Gamepad Overlays - Provides a customizable on-screen touch overlay to control emulated hardware on mobile devices.
- Games and Emulation - All-in-one retro game emulator.
- Games - All-in-one emulator for classic console gaming.
- More to explore - All-in-one game emulator.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
