I've been emulating older consoles for years, and this front-end made it all click (www.xda-developers.com)

If you’ve spent any time emulating older video game consoles, you know the experience can be a mix of joy and frustration. There’s nothing quite like booting up a childhood favorite like Super Mario World or Metal Gear Solid on a modern PC, but the behind-the-scenes setup, multiple emulators, BIOS files, and controller configurations can turn what should be a quick nostalgia trip into a weekend-long tinkering session. I thought that was just the cost of admission to the emulation world. Then I found LaunchBox, and suddenly, it clicked.
