Forsaken

Forsaken is an open-source emulator frontend that organizes a retro gaming library. It supports more than 65 retro gaming platforms through 159 emulator configurations, with library browsing in Grid, List, or 3D Carousel views. Displays can include box art, screenshots, videos, and fan art. The frontend supports gamepad navigation and keyboard shortcuts, and its download manager tracks queues and progress. Forsaken can automatically detect and download BIOS files, with temporary or permanent storage and smart cleanup options. It is MIT licensed, community-driven, and translated into 14 languages. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows; Windows and macOS are identified as build-from-source options using Flutter. Forsaken does not distribute ROMs or copyrighted game files, so users must provide their own legally obtained ROMs. The project invites contributions on GitHub.
