What it is

Pegasus Frontend is a free interface for gathering games from multiple platforms, viewing their information and media, and launching games or emulators. Themes let users customize how a collection looks and how they move through it. Navigation supports gamepads, keyboards, mice, and touch, with layouts suited to screens ranging from TVs to handhelds. Pegasus works with emulators, which users can configure for launching. Listed game sources include Steam, GOG, Android apps, Lutris, EmulationStation, and LaunchBox, though source availability varies by platform; Lutris support is marked experimental. For metadata, it can use its own files or read EmulationStation gamelists and associated assets. Pegasus does not include or download games, emulators, stores, or game assets, so users must supply those separately. Official releases are listed for Windows 7 or later, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Android 5 or later, and macOS 10.13 or later. Android installation requires manually enabling APK installation, and the project is not available from the Play Store.

Who it suits

Pegasus suits players organizing collections across game sources and emulators, particularly those who want customizable presentation and controller navigation. Users need to provide their own games, emulators, stores, and assets.

Pegasus is a flexible front end for organizing and launching collections across supported platforms and emulators. It relies on users to supply their own games and related components, and Android setup requires an APK installation setting.
