In their own words
LaunchBox
LaunchBox is a game collection frontend and manager for modern PC games and emulated console games. It can import Steam and GOG games, ROM files, and MS-DOS games, then retrieve box art and metadata from its Games Database along with fan art, screenshots, and logos. Collections can be arranged and filtered by genre, platform, ESRB rating, developer, and publisher, with custom status and source fields. The Windows app supports Windows 10 and higher, with Windows 10 and 11 described as fully supported. LaunchBox for Android is free for collections of 100 games or fewer; it shares the games database, media, and portable XML data with Windows, and Windows data can be exported to Android. Premium adds themes, Big Box mode, gamepad automation, startup and pause screens, and display customization. The Regular Windows license costs $30 as a one-time purchase and includes a year of free updates. The maker says Premium is DRM-free and can be deployed to as many personal devices as desired. Windows data can also be moved by copying the app to another folder or computer.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Database
Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Database is an official Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game site for searching cards, decks, products and rules. Card pages provide detailed information from each card’s release date. Users can look up public Deck Recipes, including tournament championship and runner-up decks, or search for decks containing a chosen card. Product listings show the cards included in packs, boxes and other releases, with information available from release. Users can register, organize and publish Deck Recipes, including Speed Duel and DUEL LINKS decks; logged-in users can also keep Owned Cards and Wish Lists. The database includes detailed rules and the latest Forbidden & Limited List for official tournament restrictions. Its Trends ranking draws on newly created decks and decks used in tournaments. The service is free and lists web, Android and iOS availability. Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! NEURON companion app connects to the database for deck management and can identify up to 20 cards at once using a smartphone camera. Some areas may require registration, and Web Service use requires linking a Card Game ID and KONAMI ID.
