Is There a Front-end for retro-emulators on the DS?

Front-End = A Graphical User Interface that allows you to:
  • View cover-art / game info (such as file size, release date, etc)
  • use multiple emulators in one UI
  • manage game saves

I know that people have created emulators/plugins that work with moonshell, but moonshell is quite limited in it's ability to view game info / cover art, and only a few emulators are compatible with it.
Is there a better front-end for emulators on the DS?

I really dig browsing boxart for games and the convenience of being able to boot and play 'em without launching the emu first.
I use the SCDStwo exclusive BAGplug that's got support for coverart and icons for a bunch of emulators, and they will direct launch a selected game.
nesDS
BAGSFC/CATSFC (SNES)
Stella (atari2600)
A7800
ikuReader
DSDoom (custom wads)
NeoDS (moonshell version by linoul)
GBAexpLoader (moonshell version by linoul, slot-2 required)

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
