mehstation

March 2016· open source· MIT

mehstation is an opensource and multi-platform frontend for emulation / retro / TV boxes.

Fully controllable by keyboards or gamepads, it is capable of running on low-end systems (Raspberry Pi) and to provide beautiful views full of details. Automatically detecting which gamepads are plugged and asking for mapping if they're not configured.

mehstation can launch everything which is executable on the OS and comes with a configuration application that can be used on a more powerful system in order to have a better configuration experience.
