'''EmulationStation''' is a graphical and themeable launcher for various emulators. It can import custom themes to use, but it doesn't have a large community so there is not an abundance of these. While commonly referred to as a frontend to emulators, it is not designed for this purpose, instead to simply launch a particular game on a particular emulator. A frontend handles the audio and video of the backend. It is no longer being developed. Comes with a metadata scraper. It is a great front end, and thanks to some users on the RetroPie Forum, development has been picked up. Some new additions include support for video playback as well as custom carousels.
Added batocera fork

'''EmulationStation''' is a graphical and themeable [[Frontends|launcher]] for various emulators. It can import custom themes to use, but it doesn't have a large community so there is not an abundance of these. Comes with a metadata scraper. It is a great front end, and thanks to some users on the RetroPie Forum, development has been picked up after the original developers left. Some new additions include support for video playback as well as custom carousels. ==Download=={| cellpadding="4"|-|align=center|{{Icon|Win-big|Lin-big|LinuxARM-big}}|[https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/releases '''RetroPie fork Git''']<br /><small>The active fork of EmulationStation</small>|-|align=center|{{Icon|Win-big}}|[https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases '''RetroPie fork Git Continuous Integration Builds''']<br><small>Windows Builds from the RetroPie EmulationStation fork.|-|colspan="3"|<hr/>|-|align=center|{{Icon|LinuxARM|Lin}}|[https://retropie.org.uk/download/ RetroPie package]<br /><small>RetroPie for x86 Linux is only available Ubuntu (16.04 LTS or later) and Debian based distros.</small>|-|align=center|{{Icon|Win}}|[https://github.com/fabricecaruso/batocera-emulationstation/releases Batocera fork]<br /><small>Another active fork, from [https://batocera.org/ Batocera.linux]</small>|-|align=center|{{Icon|Win|Lin|LinuxARM}}|[https://emulationstation.org/#download Original version]<br /><small>Last updated 2015.</small>|} [[Category:ToolsFrontends]]
