I think a sort of unified selector would be A Good Thing. You could have a different screen for each system, or just a big ass list on one side with box art/system and game info on the other, and launch whatever emulator is associated with that ROMs filename extension...

I'm biased though - as tasks I'd like to do, I rank GUI coding alongside cleaning dog shit out of carpets

Ontopic bit:

Offtopic bit:

I'm one of those oldschoolers who actually likes individual emus with their own interfaces and personalities.

Same here.

It's not hard from the developer's standpoint to simply allow the first commandline argument to be the path and filename of a rom to open, and basically that's all a universal launcher needs. If the developer wants to include more command line options then that, great!
No filename, launch the built in menu.
Simple, effective, and everyone wins.

Again I am all for this. I have wanted this for a long time, I use GameEX on my PC and it works fine. I don't need anything crazy just a simple list maybe with a picture of the system you are on. I agree I dont like seeing a very old looking graphic no style to it when I navigate to my Roms, it's a really simple thing but it makes a difference for me personally.
