Pegasus is a cross-platform graphical frontend for browsing a game library and launching emulators from a single interface. It emphasizes customizability via QML themes, hardware acceleration, and support for embedded devices like Raspberry Pi and Odroid.
Use cases
- launch all my emulated games from one graphical menu
- build a retro gaming setup on a Raspberry Pi
- customize a game launcher UI with themes and shaders
- replace EmulationStation with a more customizable frontend
- show artwork and video previews for my retro game collection
- run a game launcher on Android or embedded Linux
- import EmulationStation gamelists and Steam games into one library
When to choose
- you want a highly customizable, themeable emulator frontend
- you need cross-platform support including embedded boards like Raspberry Pi or Odroid
- you want EmulationStation metadata compatibility and Steam integration
- you need hardware-accelerated UI with gamepad support
When to avoid
- you only need a single emulator and its built-in library view
- you want a zero-configuration plug-and-play retro distro frontend
- you need a lightweight terminal-based launcher
