60-in-1 front end? anything out there like it?
severdhed:
i was recently at a local pizza place and they had a multi-game arcade cabinet set up. i was in a hurry, and didn't have time to play any games, but i liked the interface. it was pretty simple, with 6 screen shots of the games and you just used the joystick to select the one you wanted to play. (they may have been animated/videos, i can't remember)
after a little googling, here is a pic of what i'm talking about.
my question is: are there any mame front ends out there that can replicate this? i've tried a few different front ends, but havent found anything like this. i am currently running mala, which i am relatively happy with...however i think i'd like to have something set up more like that cabinet, which i'm assuming is a 60-in-1 board.
any ideas?

You need to use Hyperspin it blows everything away. Its Amazing!!! forget 60-1 how about 50,000-1
I started using it 4 weeks ago it gets easy as you learn how to add all the videos and wheel art into the files.

i've tried hyperspin, but it just didn't work too well for me. i am running older pentium 4 hardware, and it was sluggish and difficult to set up....then there was trying to find all of the artwork....and it is really nothing like that interface i am looking for.
mala works fine, is easy to set up and i already have it working. hyperspin is flashy, but i'm just not sure that's what i want. i want it to be super simple, so that my 3 year old can use it by himself.

I use Gamelauncher. Nice and simple. Works with Windows or DOS. The background changes to the game screenshot when you scroll down to each game.
Here's a video of it in action (cue it up to 4:50 in):

I second Gamelauncher for ease-of-use. Used it on one of my cocktails. Only suckage (at least for the version I used circa 2005) is that the background MP3s can only have like 6 characters in the name or the whole thing blows up. But get that sorted and it's the simplest FE I've used yet.
