GameHUB Launcher 2

A game launcher interface for PC, a worthy successor to GameHUB. This skin is an entirely different version from 1.5 and is written from scratch, it's not backward compatible and neither optimized, using latest version of rainmeter beta with Hardware acceleration is highly recommended.

Update 6

You can now upscale image by adding ImageScale and ImageShift in your layout file (under [Display] section)
note that ImageScale=0.5 will increase image size by twice and ImageScale=2 will reduce it by half
ImageShift change how much the image "scroll" when you scroll the list, ImageShift=0 will stop image from scrolling.
You can now add animated image in launch circle. Template image are in @Resources\Gif folder, inside list.inc file add Gif#=

  • Example Gif1=KonekoRight
    Other entry without gif value defined will launch as normal
    To create gif image, follow this skin instruction.

What's new?

  • Provide more control to gamepad.
  • This skin would include most of the functionality in previous version, while including new feature and interface.
  • Now working as a dynamic system, allowing multiple layout, list and app in a single skin.
  • Include movie thumbnailer, fetch video list from a directory and generate list with video thumbnail.

Dynamic system

  • GameHUB 2 can show multiple list simultaneously (lag may vary), lists layout and configuration are loaded from a single file, each list can show it's own indivitual set of app and you can swap between layout easily.
