So, i know you guys don't like frontends that much, but fuck it i have nowhere else to ask

Are all the frontends still shit and insanely convoluted to configurate or shit changed during these past months i was away from the scene? I'm setting up my old laptop as an emulation machine in the kids room and i wanted something pretty and easy for them to play around with without downloading dolphin porn to the HD and etcetera

Free if possible though. Heard about Hyperspin and Launchbox having paid versions, but i'm already buying this shit physical, i'm not paying for emulation ffs

Why isn't there a drag and drop type thing like OpenEmu or Boxer on Windows? That's bullshit.

>configurate

EmulationStation is a pain in the ass to set up for the first time, at least on linux. (If you use windows go kill yourself).

Once it's all set up though it's pretty nice. You can set it to launch on startup so it looks and feels like a "console".

EmuStation is pretty but... kinda... basic? I mean, its just the scrapper and the list. A pretty list, don't get me wrong, but i miss some of the features of other frontends like art downloader or video previews and etcetera

I used to use Hyperspin but it's a pig to set up and it's pretty bloated.

Launchbox now does coverflow of a sort and the Hyperspin wheel style so it's an ok successor.

Have a look at its youtube videos and see for yourself.

Can't speak for Linux because it's the ugliest thing on the planet after this guy: >>3429073

why do you need a frontend just load the game you want to play wtf
>>
>>3430585
anon i'm setting it up mostly for my cute but dumb kids, and for me when i get tired from work and just want a quick play of some of the consoles i have

i don't want to leave everything out open for them to move shit around. i want to leave it open on a frontend 24/7 just pick the controllers and play

How shittyof a parent are you that your kids will go right for dolphin porn if given a chance
>>
>>3430592
i don't know where it went wrong, i'm more of a whale porn guy myself

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
