BritInVA's Project Arcade II attempt :)
britinva:
Thanks for comments.
Started work on the PC, just reinstalled XP and its all up to date with patches etc.
Was reading in Project Arcade II Book about customizing the Desktop themes - did a search on here for Desktop Themes and came accross a thread linking to: http://arcadecontrols.com/Sections/EyeCandy/eyecandy.shtml#themes
Looks like the themes and other items are for 95/98 and not XP. Is there a good resouce for gaming themes for XP?
Also has anyone already hacked the ntoskrnl.exe file with a gaming image?
I know I can do all this myself but looking for quick/easy fixes for now while I concentrate on other areas. I can always customize later.
Thanks,
Mark

Decided to go with MaLa for FE.
First time around I was sorta winging into using the Quick Install steps in the WiKi but was having issues, so now installing using a guide in the MaLa Frontend forum..... not been able to locate the Artwork and Samples files so if anyone knows where they are located appreciate some help.

Well got 99% of my outstanding Honey Do's complete so path clear to start construction next weekend - weather depending as want to be cutting MDF outside.
I'm still struggling with getting MaLa setup, I'm finding a lot of what seems outdated info and bad links. I've installed Mame/Mala and added a few ROMs - need to find out how to restrict what MaLa displays to the ROMs I've got installed. Also as don't currently have a control panel need to know how to play using a keyboard.
Is there a simpler front end for complete noobs? Or is there a member in the Northan Virginia area (I'm in Ashburn) that's willing to help get me on right tracks?
