Nintendo 64 emulator frontends

This cluster consists of desktop graphical frontends and launchers for Nintendo 64 games that sit atop an underlying emulator, helping players configure and run retail and homebrew titles. The dated entries are six in total, spanning March 2014 to June 2026, with three early entries (2014, 2015, 2018) and three later entries (late 2025, mid-2026), indicating a scattered timeline with a recent grouping. Among the three named members, all exhibit zero activity stars, so no single leader emerges on traction.
