Main screen
The main screen should present a view of games that are available on the user's system.
The screen must display games as a list of boxes.
- Scanning process -
There are two separate scanning processes. A full scan and a startup scan.
-- Full scan --
A full scan goes through all potential locations on the system to find any bootable that might be present.
-- Startup scan --
The startup scan only goes through directories where games have been found before. This scanning strategy is used to improve the application's starting time while allowing new bootables to be discovered at places where the user is most likely to place them.
