I love it too, but it isn't without it's problems (background music!) The big upside for me is the low cpu usage though. My machines are resurrected computers from the past, and that helps a great deal.

I'm another vote for MaLa. I used it on my cocktail Pac, with a text-free menu I 'shopped. It's lightweight, but has options for bigger performance - animations, music, lighting control, etc. plenty to like.

yeah I'm sure it has issues but I wasn't aware of an issue with background music. I keep my frontend pretty simple. but I will say that I have it set up with a simple greeting message and that has been hiccuping lately but I thought it maybe had something to do with ledblinky starting up.
As far as frontends like Hyperspin go, I think they're very cool and I'm using Hyperspin on another more modern pc but for my arcade machine, I also have an older Pc (p4) that just runs better with a simpler frontend.
I like the frontend bling of Hyperspin but at the end of the day, its the games I enjoy most, not the list that I pick them from.
