# EmuLatest
Searches through directories for known emulator executable files, lets you customize the results and update all found emulators to the latest version. It supports over 300 emulators.
## How it works
* Emulators information comes from [detain/scoop-emulators](https://github.com/detain/scoop-emulators), which utilizes GitHub Actions to periodically check a set of urls using simple regexes and scripts to determine latest version and url information.
* PowerShell script using Windows.Forms for UI elements.
* UI Designed in Visual Studio 2022 using the visual designer for a C# Form
* PowerShell Module Convert-Form used to covnert the C# form to a PowerShell script
* PS2EXE used to convert the PowerShell into an .Exe/Installer
