Howard,

Let me just say for the record - PLEASE set it up so I can set up each emulator by HAND with an INI file or otherwise.  I find this is the easiest, quickest way to set up a frontend anyway.  I enjoyed setting up Game Launcher and EmuWizard with an INI file, and it's very very easy to change.  Don't waste your time doing that frontend for INI changes until the app is done!  I can honestly say that most folks here who take the time to set a cabinet up will NOT mind going into a text file to set up their emulators.  Plus, that way I know it's done right, exactly the way that I want.

Visual Pinball - I hear ya.  I think it would be fine if you set up special cases for certain programs like that, and just built it in.  I plan to use Visual Pinball in the frontend for sure, but if you kept a way to disable the Visual Pinball addon for those who don't want to use it, and made it look like it was never there, that would be perfect.

It sounds like you've got everything figured out already anyway, I'm excited to see this thing!!!!  August can't come soon enough.

There is one thing about Game Launcher that is very very cool that I like a lot.  It has the option for your list of games to be defined via a custom text file.  For example, you can use Game Launcher to scan your mame games and then show the full list.  Or you can tell it to look at a custom text file and get the list from there.  So I can have a directory full of my roms, but in the text file I can add and remove the roms as I see fit, so that only the ones show up in Game Launcher that I want to show up.  I hate it how frontends use all the filters and stuff to modify your game list(s).  I totally prefer being able to edit the INI's or CFG's to get the EXACT results you want. Hopefully you will implement this into RD.  Anyone else agree with me on this?
