:Personally I like QuickPlay for it's simplicity, worth checkout out if you don't need that "flash":  http://quickplay.sourceforge.net/

::Looks nice but Windows-only, might perhaps be worth recommending as a FOSS alternative to LaunchBox -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 08:15, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

== Criteria for Recommended frontends ==
 
−
 
−
Why Launchbox is recommended and some others FE aren't?
 
−
 
−
I use Quickplay and QP fills the emulators requisites:
 
−
    have high compatibly (though maybe not as high as others)- can be used with all existing emulators.
 
−
    are user-friendly, offer useful features - Has a lot of features, like Folder Mirroring and Emulator Find
 
−
    can be run on various devices, - Can run on Windows or Linux via Wine
 
−
    run fast even on lower end hardware, - Only uses 10-20 MB RAM and in any processor (even two decades old P4)
 
−
    can generally be used day-to-day by even the not-so-tech-savvy users, - after initial setup, doesn't requires any maintenance.
 
−
    and, preferably, is open-source (not closed source) as that ensures any active programmer can keep the software in shipshape condition and able to run on modern operating systems. - It´s fully FOSS.
 
−
 
−
The only thing that QP loses to LB is eye candy. But, QP in another way, it´s blazing-fast, and slowdown free compared to LB.

:Let's add it to recommend. I'm trying to keep recommended to the best FE for each common use case. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 08:22, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
