: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 slowdown free.
;[https://github.com/drpetersonfernandes/SimpleLauncher SimpleLauncherSimple Launcher]:SimpleLauncher 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.

==Integrated emulator types==
These "frontends" have a graphical user interface that lets you launch emulators that are included with the system, meaning it's not possible (or very difficult) to incorporate other emulators. They may or may not contain original emulator cores. If a program has mostly original cores, then it's called a [[Multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] and is not included here. If you're looking for a full Linux distribution to run on a Raspberry Pi or similar, check out our [[Emulation_Boxes#DIY_Solutions|Emulation Boxes]] page.

====Comparison====
;[https://github.com/Speedvicio/MedGuiReborn MedGui Reborn]
:Last survivor and with active developingReincarnation of the MedGui. New versions appear shortly after the release of a new version of the emulator, and new commits on GitHub happens regularly. The only serious drawback is the fairly awkward interface. Reincarnation of the ancient MedGui.
;[https://github.com/AmatCoder/mednaffe Mednaffe]
:Arguably has a better interface than the MedGui Reborn, as well as Linux support. Mednaffe's creator claims what it isn't dead, but development is currently inactive.
;[https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch MedLaunch]
:Old Outdated and dead. Totally not recommended.
