One of the main headaches that comes with maintaining a good collection of classic games is keeping them all organized. The goal of EmulationStation is to solve this problem by offering an intuitive and minimalist frontend where you can access all your games and machines from a single interface. All this with a visual style designed to work like a gamepad, so it's easy to navigate through the menus from the comfort of your couch.

EmulationStation is fully compatible with more than 50 emulations. It detects the console in question and even lets you scrape your games. What does that mean? Basically, it automatically downloads the cover and information for each game on your computer from the Internet, transforming the app's menu into a complete database. Of course, you should bear in mind that the emulators themselves are not included, so you have to associate them manually with the configuration file included in the root of the folder where you install it. RetroArch is an excellent companion, since it includes tons of emulators in a single package.

EmulationStation is a fantastic way to keep your emulators organized, with the added bonus of being able to customize it however you want and even launch it on your TV so it looks as good as possible in your living room. The app's interface adapts to any resolution you have, no matter how high.
