Popular Windows front-end? (kbin.earth)

So I'm waaay out of touch with the whole emulation scene. I'm just coming back to it after not touching it since the late 2000's

I've been messing around with Dolphin, Yuzu, RCSP3 mainly, but seen screenshots of a few others.

Relevant information: I'm a Windows user, and I'm using the stand alone emulators.

I've noticed that they all have the same, or very similar user interfaces. I'm all for standardization, but I'm curious if this is coincidence, or is there a specific front-end system that they're all using?

You're probably seeing either retroarch or launchbox (or its full screen mode, bigbox)

Retroarch is an emulation suite that supports many systems, it has generally superseded many of the original emulators the various cores are based on

Launchbox is a front end that is pretty well polished, and so very popular
