Daijishō is a retro launcher that let you manage your retro games libraries. Daijishō cares about integrated experience, expansibility, aesthetic and pragmatical usabilities let you focus on games itself. It will be updated continuously in the future based on users responds and my own retro gaming experience in my free time. Beware it does not come with emulators.

Wat? What does "Daijishō" even mean? You asked. "Daijishō" aka "だいじしょう" actually stands for "台字章" in kanji. Which is a pattern widely used in Taiwan during the Japanese period. Anyway, happy gaming.

Daijishō is currently closed-source. However you can still report issues or submit suggestions here.
