Ludo
by libretro
Ludo is a minimalist frontend for libretro emulator cores that scans a retro game collection, sorts it by system and lets you play with a gamepad.
Ludo is a minimalist emulator frontend from the libretro project, aimed at people who want to play retro console games without learning a complex setup. It scans a folder of game files, recognises which system each game belongs to and builds playlists grouped by platform, so the collection can be browsed from a simple menu that also works with a gamepad.
Offers a clean, console-style way to play retro games without configuring a complex emulator setup.
Games run through bundled libretro cores that come preconfigured with defaults balancing speed and accuracy. A quick menu available during play handles saving and loading states, screenshots and resetting a game. The developers deliberately keep the feature set smaller than in larger frontends, which keeps the program stable and easy for beginners.

- Scans game folders and sorts titles by system
- Automatic playlists for each console platform
- Preconfigured libretro emulator cores
- In-game quick menu for save states and screenshots
