Maybe you're familiar with EmulationStation: yes there are multiple forks available for this software! However this version is intended for use primarily on desktop computers where it's not the primary interface for the computer. As such, the aim is not to provide full control over emulator settings or emulator button mappings, or include system administration functions and similar. Instead it's assumed that the emulators and the overall environment has been properly configured upfront.
The goal is to make the software as easy as possible to install and use, and to suppport the major desktop operating systems: Unix/Linux, macOS and Windows.
The software comes preconfigured for use primarily with [RetroArch](https://www.retroarch.com), although this can be changed as all emulator settings are fully configurable, even on a per-game basis.
If you would like to contribute to the development of EmulationStation Desktop Edition, please read how to participate [here](CONTRIBUTING.md)! (You can also read about planned future features there).
[CREDITS.md](CREDITS.md) is an attempt to credit the individuals and projects which made this application possible.
[THEMES.md](THEMES.md) is a guide on how theming works and is useful for those who would like to develop a new theme, or perhaps customize an existing theme.
