You could try this front end. https://pegasus-frontend.org/
Anyone else think it would be cool to have a type of kodi all-in-one launcher that can install and play games from anywhere?

Have a look at pegasus-fe. Works on most OS (windows, macOS, linux, android etc.). It won't download games, but presents them in a very nice and efficient way. It also has many themes. Lastly, you can also launch programs, not only games !

Pegasus
Is using unity to create an emulation front end a good idea?
2 projects | /r/Unity3D | 13 Mar 2023

I'm looking to create an emulation front-end (like Launchbox, Playnite, and Pegasus) using neo4j to store relationships between items (games, platforms, developers ect.). I've built myself a starting point in Java using JavaFX, but after trying to display items I'm starting to experience the limitations of that. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea for me to switch over to Unity at this point in development, before the application gets too big.
Looking for a frontend/launcher with pretty specific needs

I remember using Athenaeum. It has a ton of FOSS games and manages them for you. It's particularly good at OpenArena and FreeDOOM.
