Although the application does not have a huge codebase, it is still fairly complex as it covers many different areas like OpenGL rendering, audio playback, video playback, controller input, network access, XML and JSON parsing etc. To work on the project you need to be able to test your code on Linux, macOS and Windows, but apart from that it should hopefully be fairly straightforward. -* Graphics: There are a few different areas where help is needed, but primarily it would be to create game systems vector graphics for the default rbsimple-DE theme as it's missing a lot of assets today.

Check out [MISSING.md](themes/slate-DE/MISSING.md) for more details about this. * Emulator configuration and testing: As one of the main goals of ES-DE is easy setup, the application needs to ship with all game systems preconfigured. This means that the es_systems.xml files have to be populated with both default and alternative emulators for all supported operating systems. There could also be a need to add additional platforms that ES-DE does not support today.
