Retroarch allows one to use many different emulators in a unified, and now accessible, way. For general info, see https://www.retroarch.com <https://www.retroarch.com/>. For the accessibility part, see https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-8-2-coming-soon-accessibility-features-for-blind-people/ <https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-8-2-coming-soon-accessibility-features-for-blind-people/>. It does take some setting up, but that only took me a good 20 minutes to configure the Xbox controller, AI service key, and get a game up and going. Emulators themselves in Retroarch can be downloaded from the online updater, in the “update cores” section, where you’ll find a List of systems to get. Then, load your game from the “load content section from the main menu.
