EmulationStation Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Anyone using a launcher?

  In my opinion the ideal situation would be a backend that any developer could build a frontend to that would suit their approach. For example there are many Retroarch frontends like Highscore, EmulationStation, etc. These all suit the needs for what some person may want. Source: about 1 year ago

  I use EmulationStation on a lot of devices. It would cover what you're looking for. Other frontends I like are RetroArch and Daijisho. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for a frontend

  There’s Emulation Station. It’s the front end that RetroPie uses. Though I don’t think there’s been any development on it for quite some time. RetroPie might use their own fork. Worth looking into. Source: over 2 years ago

• M.U.G.E.N Roms for batocera retroarch

  So the program that the guy you linked is using isn't actually RetroArch, he's using a completely program called EmulationStation which works a bit differently and requires you to download the individual Windows emulators and set everything up a bit more manually. In this particular example, the Youtuber actually has M.U.G.E.N installed normally and is just using EmulationStation to launch it; much in the same way... Source: about 3 years ago
