RetroArch is a popular open-source front-end for emulators. If you’re into playing retro games, RetroArch is your one-stop-shop for all your emulating needs. It is itself not an emulator but allows you to add "cores" that act as the backend to emulate several legacy consoles such as the Nintendo DS.
