HTML5 FrontEnd
arximidis:
version 3.0 has been uloaded
download link: http://users.ntua.gr/dpiperid/MyWebPage/Catalog/games/HTMLFrontEndEN.htm
The installation procedure, at least for the qt versions is here : http://users.ntua.gr/dpiperid/MyWebPage/Catalog/games/FE_tutor/htmlFEtutorEN.htm
For the IE version you don't need the qt4 libraries and the freepascal qt4 binding. IE version requires only internet explorer 9+ (currently the css animations will not work properly for version 9)
Don't forget to setup the emulators by editing the settings.ini files in each directory
I am waiting for the feedback!
Have fun!!!

WOW. Pretty much flawless out of the box. Sounds, execution, everything working great!! I've been tweaking settings and playing with rotation and the like looking for bugs but haven't crashed once. I've found one little bug I think: In cube the sound effect for changing between emulators seems to be intermittent. Other than that...WOW. Like I said.
I've got a few more things to test out (using a joystick, running programs ahead of other programs, etc) but this is a huge leap forward. I'm using the IE version btw and it worked great right out of the box w/out issue.
Once I get my layout complete I'll be putting together a short tutorial and linking this over on the SW FE thread.

OMG This stupid bug passed through?
Anyway, I have re-uploaded the fixed code. If you download it, backup your settings.dat file inside default640x480 theme directory. Then overwrite the one that it is inside the new version. In this way you won't loose your settings
EDIT I have also fixed a minor bug on the IE version of the browser (please download again). Tha bug had to do with not being able to hide the mouse cursor

Out of curiosity how much cpu/video card do I need to run this smoothly?
My build is using a single core 1.8ghz P4 with roughly 700mb of ram and a gforce 2 video card.

I have compiled the 32bit version too and I will release it, but I have not test it
I have only tested the 64bit which seems to work just fine
In my machine I have 2.6ghz pentium D with 512MB RAM and it works. It consumes about 20mb (depends on how many emulators you will add to the carousel and the sizes of the pictures) of ram and the cpu power is below 3% on idle. It increases when you rotate the carousel (less than 20%), but it drops again.
The settings that consume more power are the starfield effect and the animated background (A static background picture will not affect the cpu power)
With starfield effect the cpu power is about 35%
With an animated gif background it goes to 45%

Should I just stick with wahcade for this PC then?

If you are satisfied with wahcade, why change it?
P.S. Getting ready for the upload (maybe today)

Actually, this will be my first cab so i'm trying out all the front ends that work on linux to see which one works best for me and your front end will take the least amount of work to install on a micro distro that I can boot off a CF card because there are less dependencies.
and thanks.

I have build and uploaded the 32bit version for linux too. I haven't tested it yet. Only the 64bit on a Linux Mint distro.
If you test it, let me know if you encounter any problems
Thank you
