My retro game collection was a mess: multiple emulators, folders everywhere, missing covers. So I built my own tool. 😄
RetroLauncher is a free desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux):
One clean library with cover art, search and filters
Full-screen TV mode, controller navigation
Helps install emulators from official sources, RetroAchievements support
No ROMs, BIOS or games included — it only organises files you already own.
Built with Electron, React and TypeScript, solo project, still learning as I go.
I'd love your feedback: what would you expect from a retro game launcher? What do you like or dislike about Playnite, LaunchBox or EmulationStation?
Thanks, I'll answer every comment. 🙂
