A completely reworked first-run experience — quick to set up, and fun.

✨ New

  • Otto the mascot guides you through setup with speech bubbles and reactions (and cheers you on at the finish).
  • Auto-detects your games — eOr looks in the usual places and finds your ROMs folder for you. Just tap "Yes, that's them!" — no folder picker to wrestle. No games yet? One tap creates a starter folder.
  • Simpler by default — ScreenScraper login and a custom artwork folder are tucked into an optional Advanced section, so most people never have to think about them.
  • A payoff at the end — a live count-up of your games while everything sets up, then confetti, a sound, and a little buzz with a big Let's Play!.
  • Sound + haptics throughout onboarding (silent when your device is muted), plus on-screen A / B controller and touch hints.
  • "Try again" on any setup step that doesn't succeed.

🛠 Under the hood

  • New DetectRomFolderUseCase, Mascot, Confetti, and SoundPlayer.
  • Setup pipeline (scan → detect emulators → scan Android games → download box art in the background) unchanged and reused.

Install: download app-debug.apk below and open it on your device. Installs right over 1.6.x — your library, RetroAchievements login, and Save Sync settings are kept.
