What it does

Pegasus Frontend organizes games and launches their emulators from a graphical library. It supports custom themes and several kinds of game metadata.

Pegasus fits a couch or small-computer setup where switching between emulator windows is awkward. Add your launch commands and metadata, then choose or edit a theme. Support for EmulationStation files can help an existing collection, but Pegasus remains a frontend: the emulator and legally obtained games need to be supplied separately.

Video previews can need extra codecs, so a missing preview is a different problem from an emulator failing to launch. Pick the release for your device carefully; the site specifically labels its Odroid releases experimental and untested.
