The goal of this project is to make a high quality frontend that is easy to use, requires minimal setup and configuration, looks nice, and is available across a wide range of operating systems.
It comes preconfigured for use with [RetroArch](https://www.retroarch.com) and a large selection of standalone emulators. It's also fully customizable so you can easily expand it to include emulators or applications not covered by the bundled configuration.
Three themes (Linear, Modern and Slate) are bundled with the application, and additional themes can be found on the [official themes list](https://gitlab.com/es-de/themes/themes-list) or can be installed using the built-in theme downloader.
Visit https://es-de.org/ to download the latest ES-DE release or go to the [package registry](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/packages) where you can also find most previous releases.
If you're using a Raspberry Pi or if you run FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD then you need to compile from source code as no prebuilt packages are provided for these platforms. A detailed build guide is available in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
_Another example of the gamelist view, displaying advanced folder support. You can scrape folders for game info and game media, sort folders as you would files, mark them as favorites etc._
_This is a view of the built-in scraper which downloads game info and game media from either [screenscraper.fr](https://screenscraper.fr) or [thegamesdb.net](https://thegamesdb.net). It's possible to scrape a single game, or to run the multi-scraper which can scrape a complete game system or even your entire collection._
_There are many settings for the scraper including options to define which type of info and media to download. The above screenshot shows only a portion of these settings._
_ES-DE is fully themeable, in case you prefer another look than what the default theme Linear offers. The screenshot above shows the Slate theme that is also bundled with the application._
