Comments on Beacon Game Launcher for Android

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Aurel Florinel Vฤƒduva ยท Jan 19, 2026
The game doesn't start and all I get is a black screen when using pizza boy c paid version for Game Boy. How do I fix this? The emulator works normally if I just open it from the app instead of trying to open a Game Boy game from the beacon launcher. UPDATE: I changed the file handling to standard, that only made some games work. I switched to gbc. Emu and gba.emu. Great emulators from that guy, but I will miss the multiplayer of pizza boy. Love the front end so far, light and easy to use.

Great launcher, very customizable and organized. It has the ability to add your own background music, but it would be cool to add the ability to change the system sounds as well!
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Andrei A. ยท Nov 10, 2025
After the last update whenever I fav a game the whole list of games disappears except the fav one, so there is no way to fav two games or more from the same console, that's just great.

I can't add any game hub games, why not add the option to import the home screen shortcut game hub exports.

The developer doesn't listen to the community, there's a feature that has been requested by many users for more than 2 years and still not added.
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Brandon ยท Dec 8, 2025
I really wanted to like this, but the scraper is just AWFUL. It renamed my games to a bunch of weird things, gave them non-standard box art, and now if I want to fix it I have to go through one by one. I'm experienced with launchers like ES-DE and Danish, so this isn't user error, it's just designed badly. Really too bad

This launcher doesn't want to play any games from dolphin, just launch the dolphin app instead. When I look how to fix this problem I get the same generic answer...switch the file handling to "standard" or "legacy" but that never works.
