Mjolnir - Link GameHub & Steam to ESDE and Beacon

🔍 What Is Mjolnir?

Mjolnir is an Android utility designed to bridge PC game libraries with front-ends like EmulationStation DE (ESDE) and Beacon.
It automatically creates all the metadata, configuration, and launch files needed for those front-ends to recognize your GameHub or Steam games—no manual editing required.

Think of it as the missing link that makes your native PC titles appear right beside your emulators.

🌐 Where to Get It

You can download Mjolnir directly from GitHub:
https://github.com/blacksheepmvp/mjolnir

Download the latest app-release.apk file, install it on your Android device, and allow permissions when prompted.
Mjolnir works best when installed alongside GameHub and ESDE or Beacon.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Scan Your Library
   Launch Mjolnir and choose to scan your existing GameHub or Steam directories.
2. Generate Files
   Mjolnir creates .xml and .json entries, artwork links, and launch scripts formatted for ESDE or Beacon.
   Each game receives the same metadata style used by emulator ROMs—cover art, title, and launch command.
3. Sync to Front-End
   Point ESDE or Beacon to the generated folder and refresh the library.
   Your PC games will now appear as playable entries beside your emulator systems.

🧩 Why It’s Useful

No manual setup: eliminates editing XML or launcher files by hand.

Unified library: Steam, GameHub, and emulator titles appear in one interface.

Portable: keeps configs stored locally, perfect for handheld devices.

Fast rebuilds: delete and regenerate at any time for a clean library refresh.

Paired with Obtainium (for automatic emulator updates), Mjolnir completes the ecosystem—updates handled by Obtainium, library linking handled by Mjolnir.
