What is Nostlan?
A front-end or user interface (UI) is the presentation and interaction layer of an app or website. Most modern emulator apps have basic game list UIs that you can interact with using a mouse/keyboard but not a game controller.
Nostlan looks similar to media viewers like Kaleidescape and AppleTV. You can interact with it using a mouse or game controller. Unlike other popular front-end launchers for video game emulators, Nostlan has a minimalistic design that prioritizes box art, not metadata.

Nostlan is available as an AppImage file, which makes it one of the, I think, few portable emulators on Linux Just put it on a USB drive with some games and you can play your them on any Linux, macOS, or Windows computer
