EmulationStation Desktop Edition (ES-DE) v2.1.0 is now available for download! This release brings an optional dark color scheme for the menu system, scraping and viewing of PDF game manuals, aspect ratio settings for the miximage generator, improved system sorting support, and more!
ES Desktop is great but I prefer Skyscraper for media content https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/tree/master

Is it fine to leave or even “ghost” a project?
Yes, but I would suggest to make it clear on the front page / README that the project is no longer being maintained and you would encourage someone to fork it if they want to continue development. For example, like this project did:
- Emumovies and Retropie Themes
-
GarlicOS Install Questions
You can try skyskraper, at least there is "Skyscraper works perfectly on macOS" in the description
- Skyscraper Import Module
- Overlapping/Doubling of scraped images
-
Skyscraper videos no longer downloading
This might help: Resource Cache
-
moderated Console/Netflix like experience
you might also try skyscraper, its a CLI tool for scraping folders to generate metadata for pegasus and other frontends: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper
-
Retrama-Turbo Help
It's highly configurable through the command-line interface: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CLIHELP.md
-
Comic theme with videos
Doing this by hand would be quite tedious, of course. Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper) has an "import" module to cache local resources (https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/IMPORT.md)

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 !
- Is there anything like RetroPie available for Ubuntu?
-
Alternative Launchers for SteamOS / Game Mode?
Pegasus - seems like a proper launcher that can incorporate games from multiple stores? It seems promising.

Good Android Front End?

Is using unity to create an emulation front end a good idea?
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

Using RA menu to launch exe games or other non-core games.
