EmulationStation Desktop Edition

EmulationStation Desktop Edition is a cross-platform graphical front-end for emulators with controller and keyboard navigation.

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 following operating systems have been tested and confirmed as working with ES:

  • Kubuntu 20.04
  • macOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
  • Windows 10 (x86)
  • Windows 8.1 (x86)

It's possible that the application still compiles and works on devices such as the Raspberry Pi, but again it's not the goal of this fork to run on such devices.

The software comes preconfigured for use primarily with RetroArch, 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 community) is bundled with the application.

Check out the User Guide for how to quickly get the application up and running!
(It will also show how to use some of its more advanced features.)

Help needed:

If you would like to contribute to the development of EmulationStation Desktop Edition, please read the CONTRIBUTING file!

Other information

NEWS.md contains information about new functionality, improvements and bug fixes.
(An overview of all previous versions will be included here as well.)

INSTALL.md provides details on how to build and configure the application.

CREDITS.md is an attempt to credit the individuals and projects which made this application possible.

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.
