'''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.[http://retropie-roms.co.uk retropie rom's free]
