Looks good, does it hide Windows totally? The screenshots show Windows at the top

Excellent, I'm in the process of getting bits and pieces sorted for a build and whilst is think Mala is great it doesn't have many layouts, all of these look really good so I will have a fiddle as soon as I can

Because it's trivial to write a frontend using .NET, if you don't run Windows you're doing it wrong anyway, and performance is a non-issue? Basically, if you've got hardware so weak that it can't run a .NET program, it's not powerful enough to run MAME properly anyway.

What's wrong with .NET?

My post wasn't negative. In fact, I was responding to a negative post. .NET is awesome. There's no reason to bad mouth it. You can tap dance around it all you want, but Windows IS objectively the best OS for an arcade cabinet.

Pros:

* It's got the most software available
* For some reason, every emulator seems to run the best in Windows
* It's got the most hardware support

Cons:

* It isn't free (sort of...you CAN get Windows 10 for free now)
* ??

Honestly, I can't think of any. What's the justification for not using it again?

It probably wasn't the best way to say it but in terms of OS choice he is correct.  PC games typically don't run on other operating systems and if they do the modding community (which make it possible to actually run said pc games on a cab) is much smaller.  Middleware is virtually non-existent and you've got to admit, a LOT of this hobby involves middleware unless you have a rather basic setup.  Don't get me wrong, you can use another OS, but why would you want to?  Windows is the best choice. 

Now .net I can't defend.  There is a reason I still use vs6... all that bloat isn't needed for simple applications.  Now if you have a reason, perhaps there is a feature in .net you really need then sure, but M$ switching all their languages to run on .net was one of the stupidest things they've ever done.  I know I sure love having my pc run slowly for 20 minutes after a windows update because .net has to reconfigure itself and even apps like my video card app use stupid .net so I have to keep it on my pc. 

I don't agree with the comment about mame either.  If you want to run pac-man and those golden-age games then you can get away with a REALLY modest pc, even running windows and the latest version of mame.  A .net front-end might not run smoothly though.  Then again it might... resource requirements vary a lot depending upon various factors.

How is it subjective? By any measurable quality metric, it's better than the alternatives.

The only argument you can make for the other operating systems is that they're theoretically cheaper, but price isn't a variable if we're just talking about what's the best from a functional standpoint.

I'm sorry for my language but I'm really upset that every frontend in windows oriented and uses mostly .NET or Java instead rely on nice and clean C++ code. I always prefer small frontend in terms of memory and processor usage rather than fancy frontends like Hyperspin. Most of the frontends right now does not differ from each other when we speak about options, functionality. After all these years I'm still with MAMEWAH - though not too easy to configure starts very fast and eats really low amount of memory. The only downside is lack of manual switch from horizontal to vertical position and vice versa.

Sadly FEEL does not have such option, does not have option to generate list based on roms that I already have (or maybe have but I didn't discovered this option), does not have favorites import from MAMEUI (would be nice).

Also it crash my windows explorer (windows 7 x64) quite often.

PS. I'm from Poland so my english might be bad  ;)

I look forward to your front end release.

I'll give feel the once over after my vacation. I love MaLa but it looks like dev is dead on it.

Ah. Now I understand. And youve just confirmed that you were basically heavily slating this guys work. Did you ever think that he may actually have put a lot of work into this and may feel quite proud of it? The other nice thing is that he SHARED it. It may not be to your requirements but was there really any need to be so negative?

Im sure youre a good guy, but please think twice before discouraging and being rude about creativity and effort. That could ultimately kill the hobby and thus leave you with nothing, leaving you to do it all yourself. We shall, however, endeavor to work harder to ensure the universe spins around you....

I like how the image funtions work in this fe....

I'm sorry stigzler but this is my opinion what frontend should have. Besides .NET req. I'm not complaining here.

But ok, FEEL is still in early stages of development (Is it ??) so it might suprise me in the future.

I forgot one usefull feature from MAMEWAH - ability to run different emulators on one single list for example all games with mame 162 and ironhorse with mamefx162. I used this feature to group Taito Type X games, Daphne and mame into one single list.

I like this frontend very much: it's incredibly light (even more than advancemenu), has some great features (i.e. the possibility to autostart the last game played/selected), it support vertical layouts, it allows the pc shutdown (and other selectible optionsvon exit), it's up to date (abandoned FE could have problem generating lists with the latest xml files), it support a  very unique single list feature (all your favs from different emus on one single list...)... you should really give this a try instead of debating how "bad" is .NET ;)

In addition, the developer is very open to new features, which is  OBJECTIVELY a great pro ;)

If it's really has "all your favs from different emus on one single list" than I try configure such list but probably won't be easy for Taito Type X games because every game uses different exe.

Someone discovered how to run vertical layout in full screen? Everytime I tried program crashed.

IIRC you must set "rotate" or an option like that in feel.ini. I am using it succesfully on a cocktail cab.
For taito games, you can use a batch file to run it, so it's definitely possible to show it in the list.

Ah, almost forgot: this FE has a complete input remapping capability. Remember such games where pressing ESC goes to windowed mode (es. Elsemi Model2)? You can define an input map on a per-emu basis to exit the game when pressing ESC without additional software... not that bad, right?
Uh, what about the possibility to run an app before the emu and close another after the emu exiting?
All these features are present in the current version.

For model2 I used Closemul. Indeed it's good feature.

Nice feature but already in MAMEWAH.

@ OP - You guys need to show it off a bit more though. Full-screen snaps of various features. Also, some vids of it in action. I couldn't get my head around the SmartASD thingy - maybe a bit more clarity around that as looks like could be a unique feature?

I realize you guys are Italian so language stuff, but pictures tell a thousand words!

The smartasd support is something useful for bartops, not original arcades. Essentially you can toy with lights effects on a per-game basis (i.e. you select street fighter 2 and 6 buttons lit up, you select joust and only one lit up).

BTW. Changelog says that dev. cycle started in 2011.

Wasn't being sarcastic, chap. Was just trying to make light.
However, I'm not sure it's terribly good form to come onto someone's thread when they are proudly announcing the results of 4 years of hard work and say "Meh...you've developed that on a rubbish platform and all those features you've worked so hard at - well they're all available in other frontends that have been around for ages"

I just think it's quite rude.

Anyways, this is sadly hijacking the fella's thread so I'm going to leave it at that and to echo someone else's comment above, I shall look forward to your perfect Front End written in sparkly C++ with ground breaking features (now that was sarcastic).
Good day.

I forgot one usefull feature from MAMEWAH - ability to run different emulators on one single list for example all games with mame 162 and ironhorse with mamefx162. I used this feature to group Taito Type X games, Daphne and mame into one single list.

FEEL have this feature

@ OP - You guys need to show it off a bit more though. Full-screen snaps of various features. Also, some vids of it in action. I couldn't get my head around the SmartASD thingy - maybe a bit more clarity around that as looks like could be a unique feature?

I realize you guys are Italian so language stuff, but pictures tell a thousand words!

I'll tell developer

does not have option to generate list based on roms that I already have (or maybe have but I didn't discovered this option), does not have favorites import from MAMEUI (would be nice).

FEEL for rom list use the same format of MameWah
so you can use your MameWah list or generate new list with RomLister

Ok, my apologies - it can generate list based on available roms  :) I didn't study manual because it's italian  :D

As for list I notice this. It's generally the same list. After closer look I noticed that FEEL and MAMEWAH have the same two small problems:
1. Both programs list devices with roms and support roms like qsound, nmk004 etc.
2. Both programs does not see chd only sets for example Taito GNET games.

IIRC you must set "rotate" or an option like that in feel.ini. I am using it succesfully on a cocktail cab.

Yeah, it works now just how to this without rotating desktop everytime I rotate my TV  :)

The only so called rude behaviour it might be my complaining about usage of .NET, that's all. Later I simply pointed some lacking features but this wasn't rude at all. Also it really crashing my windows explorer when I disable test mode, right now I'm trying to investigate this.
