    Excellent emulation in most of the systems I have run, simple/classic GUI, and it is updated regularly. It combines the ease and functionality of some of the classic standalone emulators into a multi emulator. LaunchBox is great, but for those looking for less frills, BizHawk is very good.

    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.
