; [http://attractmode.org Attract-Mode] : A graphical frontend for command line emulators with a completely customizable appearance. It hides the underlying operating system and is intended to be controlled with a joystick, gamepad or spin dial, making it ideal for use in arcade cabinets. Attract-Mode is open source and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

; [http://quickplay.sourceforge.net QuickPlay] : An excellent FOSS alternative to LaunchBox. It has a WIMP style interface and is Windows only. Compared to LaunchBox it has less eye-candy but it requires a lot less system resources, it's blazing-fast and slow down-free.

; [https://github.com/drpetersonfernandes/SimpleLauncher Simple Launcher] : Simple Launcher is a WIMP Open Source emulator frontend that streamlines retro gaming on Windows. It offers cover art display, multi-emulator support, gamepad functionality, and user-friendly features, all without the need for rom databases. Users can easily configure cover art size, gamepad support, systems, emulators, rom folders, and more.

Users can easily configure cover art size, gamepad support, systems, emulators, rom folders, and more. Available for windows-x64 and windows-arm64.

; [https://romjacket.github.io/skeletonkey/index.html skeletonKeY] : According to the author, skeletonKeY is ''a unified interface for ROMs emulators and frontends''. A dynamic GUI provides granular options for MAME, snes9x, mednafen, emulationStation, retroFE, PegasusFE and a very comprehensive interface for retroArch (including netplay). SkeletonKeY integrates and supports the installation of hundreds of emulators. SkeletonKeY is free, open source and very ugly.

; [https://playnite.link Playnite] : A great general gaming frontend for Windows. Version 9 greatly expanded emulation support, and better arcade support is planned. For something similar on Linux, check out Lutris.
