Front End Advice
« on: December 24, 2012, 01:18:29 pm »
I'm wondering if anybody has a recommendation for a front end that looks nice and is somewhat simple to throw together.  A little while back my friend showed me what went into setting up Hyperspin, it was AMAZING--but he spent DAYS putting it all together.  I'm working on a little project that is just a couple of consoles (NES/SNES/Genesis) and would like something that gives a nice interface, but can be gathered in an afternoon if possible.  Does anybody have any recommendations?

I use GameEx. Setup isn't too difficult and the support at the forums is excellent.
