    It is an emulator and not a frontend, so Retroarch is in the wrong section being recommended here.

    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.

    DOSBoxLauncher configures and starts DOS applications (e.g. games) using a DOSBox app on the system. DOSBox itself is not part of this app and must be installed separately (see https://www.dosbox.com). A simple configuration with a few parameters is in the focus.
