An empty category called Emulators has been created. Every ROM or standalone launcher in AEL must belong to some category. You can create your emulator launchers inside Emulators or alternatively you can change the name.

You can also see the <Favourites> special launcher.

Virtual launchers <Browse by Title> etc.
