A configurable Game launcher based on Electron. Checkout the WIKI for more information.

Jupiter is a game launcher designed to start up automatically in my Arcade machine. I wanted it to be a few things.

  1. Start up full screen.
  2. Be completely usable by a limited key-set (the key-set emulates a digital joystick)
  3. Have the look and feel completely configurable through HTML and CSS.
  4. Able to add all sort of emulators, through configuration files.
  5. A flexible tag / category concept, where each game has a number of tags. This represents the game being part of several categories. Example: A game could be part of the categories Shooter, Action and BulletHell. And can be found under all these 3 categories.
  6. Game details can be seen when browsing the games, including screenshots (stills or moving)
  7. Multi platform. If I was going to switch OS from Windows to Linux, I still would like to use my menu system.
