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)
