So I'm waaay out of touch with the whole emulation scene. I'm just coming back to it after not touching it since the late 2000's

I've been messing around with Dolphin, Yuzu, RCSP3 mainly, but seen screenshots of a few others.

Relevant information: I'm a Windows user, and I'm using the stand alone emulators.

I've noticed that they all have the same, or very similar user interfaces. I'm all for standardization, but I'm curious if this is coincidence, or is there a specific front-end system that they're all using?

Most emulators have just been built/developed with what people are used to, or what they like, which has become more similar over the years. Your questions confuses me a bit, but if you are actually looking for a good front-end for your standalone emulators, try emudeck: https://www.emudeck.com/

Thanks. I was really just wondering why all the standalone ui's were so similar, which I think you've answered. I've heard of emudeck, but not tried it. Will give it a look
