Can I launch modern games thru RetroArch? (slrpnk.net)

It’s just me or RetroArch developed the best FLOSS alternative to proprietary UI? You have a nice overlay, CRT shaders, bezels, some netplay function, customizable interface. All of this completely free and super fast.

Wouldn’t be nice to also launch non-emulated games from here?

Thanks for reply. Yeah would be nice to have a more complete Lutris in the future but it looks like it's purpose is more "proprietary oriented", supporting stores and Discord (for example). I'd like the idea of a RetroArch with non-emulated games supported, maybe with a 'compatibility core'.
