English is not my native language, but I will still write a review of the program:

  1. The launcher is more like Lutris and it has many different scripts and routines for launching games. Very cool for Linux users.

Now the overview is not of the program, but of the prospects:

  1. This is all cool, but I read the news here and official sources (I see that such emulators do not live out their entire life cycle because corporations like Nintendo, Sony, Sega) do not like such programs.
Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.
