Is ArcadeOS the only DOS based FE around?
klutzo:
Which other FE's are DOS based? now?
Years ago i used to use Mamenu which was simple, and great, but it does not seem to work well with the newer mame releases.
ErikRuud:
I use GameLauncher.
It does not do as much as ArcadeOS, but I like it.

Thanks for the info. GameLauncher sounds great!
I'm thinking about running MAME, Nesticle, ZSNES, and Stella for starters. Can GameLauncher do this?
I have the IPAC on order and will be replacing the keyboard hack with this.
Thanks,
ErikRuud:
The answer is yes. This quote is from the readme.
"What Is It
Game Launcher is a universal DOS front end for emulators. It should
work with any emulator. I have tested it with MAME, Nesticle, RockNES,
zSNES, snes9x, Callus, Stella, Z26, and Genecyst."

I should mention that I cannot get GameLaunher to run on my win 2000 laptop at work. I get a message saying that it cannot change the video mode.
It works just great at home on my dos based machine or under win95.
