Your installed apps live right alongside your games. GammaOS Nano gathers them into an Applications entry inside the Game category, so a standalone emulator, a store app, or any other program is only a couple of button presses away.
Where to find your apps
Open the Game category and look for the Applications entry. Select it to see the apps installed on your handheld. System apps are hidden by an exclusion list so the view stays clean and useful, but you can reveal everything if you need to (see Show All Apps below).
Launching an app
Selecting an app launches it, and the handoff works exactly like starting a game: the home menu steps aside, the app takes over the screen, and when you exit the app you return to the home menu right where you left off.
Per-app Options
Highlight an app and open its Options menu for the actions below.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start | Launch the app |
| Information | View app details |
| Screen Orientation | Set how the app is displayed |
| Uninstall | Remove the app from your handheld |
| Refresh Applications List | Re-scan for newly installed apps |
| Show All Apps | Reveal system apps that are hidden by default |
If you just installed something and it is not in the list yet, run Refresh Applications List to pick it up.
For a full tour of the Options menus across every part of Nano, see Context menus.
Standalone emulator apps
Many emulators are regular Android apps rather than RetroArch cores. Once one is installed, it shows up here in Applications and you can launch it directly. To wire a standalone emulator into the Game systems so ROMs launch straight into it (for example, AetherSX2 for PlayStation 2), set it up as a custom system. See Add a custom system for the step-by-step.
