What is Reddit's opinion of
RomStation?

There is a very clean-looking and easy-to-use software called RomStation that allows you to build a library of games and comes with a lot of pre-configured emulators. Here's what my library looks like.
However it is not comparable to RetroArch or any open project, they allow you to download games from their server and the free version is capped at 100 Kb/s, which can make downloads take up some time for big ROMs like PS2 games. Granted, you can download the games from somewhere else and then manually add them to the library, so it's not really a big issue.
(Also, it started as a French-only software, but I just checked and you can now change the language to English in the options menu)
Very stylish artwork 👍👍
One suggestion for future inspiration:
A criticism I have regarding F-Zero artwork in general, as nice as some of it is, is that a lot of it is focused on drawing vehicles and characters, but not so much on the experience you have playing the game. Meaning images of vehicles racing on the tracks that convey the sense of speed, intensity and focus. I guess that's just harder to draw. Seeing how you are obviously a great graphic artist, maybe that's something you could take on somewhere dosn the line.

Will see if I can find a few more examples on my computer later on.
How can that be the future, it only aggregates ROMs and emulators you downloaded yourself if I'm correct?
I've been using RomStation (Windows only) for two or three years now, it has a library where you can add your own stuff much like OpenEmu, but the better part is that you can search and download roms directly from the software. It comes with at least two pre-configured emulators for each console and even has built-in screen recording if you want to try and become a famous youtuber.
