While I'm still in the Mala camp, a lack of updates for 7z support and a change in joystick reporting in mame.xml has me worried about the future. I wish Loadman and Swindus would turn over the reigns to someone who has the free time and motivation to make improvements. When I think about what I would want from a new front-end, it would basically be Mala with: > improved transparency > ability to manipulate images; have them angled, angled at a perspective, etc. > special effects on gamelist text; outiline, shadow, etc. Not sure how possible that is on the fly. > the ability to post command lines based on any metadata (right now could be done with plugins based on any info stored in the gamelist) I guess to keep it quick, maybe the ability to choose what metadata gets copied to the gamelist would be nice. > the ability to have arcade games in one list regardless of emulator (I'm currently doing this using SGT's workaround) |

I set up the new Hyperspin in one morning. You just need to tell it where to look for stuff. I prefer using wheel art to browse, so that's why I've stuck with AtomicFE and HyperSpin. To me, it just looks cleaner and more polished that text. |

Totally transparent to the front end. Hyperspin is extrememly easy to setup once you break it down into the different pieces and understand how they interact. And I've offered to help people setup Hyperspin a number of times. The tutorials over on Hyperspin-FE.com are getting better - but they're not written to a non-techy perspective. I should write one myself... maybe someday.... |
