 | Free. Theme-able. Open-source and actively in development. An absolute pain to configure, and has no built-in scraping support. Actively being developed (an official Retroid Handhelds launcher is currently being developed with this frontend). Here's a very helpful [https://basvroegop.nl/pegasus guide] to help you set it up. It is currently being optimized for the RP2. Not available on the Play Store. Download from [https://pegasus-frontend.org/#downloads here].
