Although there are multiple forks of EmulationStation in existence, the goal of this edition is to make the software as easy as possible to install and use as a standalone application, and to support the major desktop operating systems, i.e. Unix/Linux, macOS and Windows. Since it's intended to be used as a desktop application rather than as the primary interface for the computer, there are no plans to provide system administration utilities or control over emulator settings from within ES-DE.

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.

A comprehensive theme set, **rbsimple-DE** which is based on Recalbox Multi from the [Recalbox](https://www.recalbox.com) community is bundled with the application. (Only assets created by them prior to their change to a more restrictive license in 2018 are included). Two comprehensive theme sets, **rbsimple-DE** and **modern-DE** are bundled with the application.
The following operating systems have been tested with ES-DE (all for the x86 architecture unless otherwise stated): The following operating systems have been tested (all for the x86 architecture unless otherwise stated):

**Note:** If using a Mac with an M1 CPU you need to install the x86 version of RetroArch and any other emulators, or you won't be able to launch any games. This will be fixed whenever a native macOS ARM build of ES-DE is released.

This will be fixed whenever a native macOS M1 build of ES-DE is released.
If using macOS Monterey, there has been a quite serious OpenGL bug introduced by Apple which causes problems for ES-DE. A workaround for this issue is discussed [here](USERGUIDE-DEV.md#specific-notes-for-macos).

For some of the rarer operating systems listed at the top you need to build ES-DE from source. The plan is to have ES-DE available in the software repositories of all supported operating systems (where this is applicable), so in the long term building from source should not be required.
