* [Internet Archive Game Launcher](https://github.com/zach-morris/plugin.program.iagl) is a [Kodi](https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc) plugin. It has a curated database composed of XML files (usually one by platform), including games with information, images and most important, links to their roms from [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/).

* [LibRetro](https://github.com/libretro) is the one emulator run all platforms, it has an UI called [RetroArch](https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch) and they both come ready to go in its own GNU/Linux distribution [Lakka](https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC). It uses a database where the RDB files are bytes encoded and it has a dedicated repository for images.

## Special Thanks to...
