      Just read about a new Sega themed front end: Blast16.

      http://www.blast16project.com

      The coolest feature in the video for me was seeing up to 4 Save Slots that you can load from the front end.

        @HurricaneFan looks awesome! And that save state from the frontend is a pretty damn cool feature.

          Very cool. Good to see other alternatives than Emulationstation. I love how smoothly the gui is in this frontend. I wonder if this could be extended to more than just Sega systems. :-)

            Is it open source? I can see that there is a license there on the site, but I cannot find any link to the code. Is it referring only to the image?

              I don't see any link to the code either. In a previous forum post on another site, it says its using retroarch so I assume he has to keep it open source.

                Well, it does use Genesis Plus GX, which license states that redistributions that are modified from the original source must include the
                complete source code.

                  There is a post from the author on the Libretro forums where they state that they included the RA's source. From the looks of it, they don't seek a commercial distribution, so the source code for the front-end might be open sourced at some point.

                    @mitu I just thought it was interesting they used the löve framework

                      The limbo16 project is a 3rd party folders-support add-on for the blast16 Raspberry Pi emulator front-end:
