It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast.

Wouldn’t be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

Did you ever find out? I was just trying some gaming via a retro console and it is pretty cool! Seems very promising, certainly people must be doing other stuff.

I don’t think it’s currently supported to play software that isn’t on any core.

Ok this is the closest thing i have found but i haven’t tried setting it up yet: https://forums.libretro.com/t/official-release-thread-for-windowcast-core/40464

From an user “the only way to run non-retroarch programs within retroarch is via the Windowcast-Core, but all that really does is allow you to use shaders and overlays. it also adds some latency, so I wouldn’t really recommend it anyway.”
