Navigation

Argosy is designed for controllers. Touch works but isn't the focus.

Controller Basics

Button	Action
D-pad / Left Stick	Move selection
A	Select / Confirm
B	Back / Cancel
X / Y	Quick actions (context-dependent)
Start	Options / Context menu
Shoulders	Tab or section navigation

The guide bar at the bottom shows available actions for the current screen and tucks away when there's nothing useful to say.

In settings and menus, multi-option rows cycle with Left/Right, and A opens a full picker listing every option. L3 opens the quick menu (search, random, recents); R3 opens quick settings (brightness, volume, theme, and device toggles).

Getting Around

Use the sidebar to switch between sections; it shows your profile and, when connected to Argosy Social, per-friend actions. Controller: Start or Select to open. Touch: swipe from edge or tap hamburger.

If you're already at the leftmost UI boundary, pressing Left also opens the sidebar.

Settings adapt to orientation: pinned section headers in portrait, a side rail in landscape.

Sections

Home

Your starting point, built to get you into a game without digging through your full library. Home is not one fixed presentation: pick between the carousel, an auto grid that fills itself from your library, and a custom grid you arrange yourself. See Home Screen Layouts.

Library

The complete view of your games, organized by platform. It opens on a grid of your platforms rather than every game at once, so a large library starts with a short list; pick a platform to browse, filter, and manage what is in it. Connected media libraries appear here too, alongside your consoles -- see Media.

Search covers games and media together, so one query finds both.

Collections

Custom cross-platform groupings. Create themed lists (e.g., "RPGs to finish", "Co-op games") for quick access and batch downloads.

Downloads

Active and completed downloads from your RomM server. Monitor progress, retry failures, manage the queue. Multi-file games collapse into one entry with aggregate progress and a per-file breakdown.

Apps

Installed Android apps on your device. Launch other apps without leaving Argosy.

Settings

Configure once, forget about it. Display options, emulator assignments, RomM connection, input mapping, and more.

Touch Shortcuts

Gesture	Action
Double-tap empty area	Open the Quick Menu (close again with another double-tap)

The Quick Menu is the same overlay you'd reach by clicking the L3 stick on a controller — handy when you don't have a gamepad attached.
