Frontends have different graphical user interface (GUI) types. Some use the ''[[wikipedia:WIMP (computing)|WIMP type]]'' that uses windows, icons, menus and a pointer (mouse), examples of these interfaces are LaunchBox and OpenEmu. Others are intended for viewing on bigger screen (like a TV or arcade cabinet) and have navigation mostly optimzed for gamepads or joysticks(they usaually also work with keyboards), these types of interfaces are here referred to as ''HTPC''- RetroArch, RetroArch HyperSpin and HyperSpin MAMES integrated frontend MEWUI are examples of this. There's also ''Touch'' interfaces which are intended for smartphones and tablet computers, mostly found in Android frontends.
