Frontends are programs that allow a user to execute a program, usually a command-line one, using an interface. Examples of such are shown below.
Contents
ePSXeCutor
ePSXeCutor is a configuration utility for the ePSXe emulator (and maybe for PCSX-R too?) this comes in handy if you are juggling with many psx games and plugin configurations and want specific settings for each individual game and an easy way to swap between settings. It also allows for easy memory card and savestate managing. Latest version is ePSXeCutor 1.0.6.3.
HyperSpin

Latest version is HyperSpin 1.0.
RoM-Jacket
RoM-Jacket is toolkit for people new to emulation and advanced users alike. It provides frontend settings for supported emulators and allows for simple and automated setups for 7 different HTPC Media-Center programs.

MAME frontends
There are a myriad of frontends for MAME, the most popular are HyperSpin and MAMEUI.
DOSBox frontends

PCSX2 Frontends
