# Emerald Legacy Launcher
|
|
|
|
**The official community-driven hub for Legacy Console Edition (LCE) preservation.**
|
|
|
|
Emerald Legacy Launcher is the result of a collaboration between developers who shared a common goal: moving away from bloated Electron-based launchers to create the fastest, most faithful LCE experience. Now the core project of our organization, Emerald centralizes the effort to preserve the nostalgic console experience on modern hardware
