:A great general gaming frontend for Windows. For Version 9 greatly expanded emulation it's not yet at the same level as LaunchBoxsupport, and better arcade support is planned. For something similar on Linux, check out Lutris.

:A great general gaming frontend for GNU/Linux with support for running Windows games with [[Wine]] and [[Proton]]. However, for the emulation use cases it has some downsides, such as: there is no bulk import for ROMs. There is a [https://github.com/hwangeug/lutris-bulk-adder lutris-bulk-adder] script which might solve this.

:Lighter, cut-down Retroarch alternative for Android.

:A Linux launcher for PC games and a libretro frontend. Very easy to use, almost no setup. You'll need the GNOME Settings app to be able to bulk add ROMs.
