| PacManFan:
Howdy all, PacManFan here, I'm planning on releasing a completely new Front End in the next week or so, and I need some volunteer testers. Ideally, what I'm looking for are 4 - 5 people to help. I need : 1 -2 people with art experience to help design some "skins" for the more popular emulators, or at least help me gather logo images from various emulators. (Do you hear that Frosty!?!, I'd like to call in my favor for that z26 thing.) --- Quote ---Hey thanks a lot for doing this, anything you need just let me know! --- End quote --- 1-2 persons to playtest and give feedback for usabilty / bugs 1 person to help me generate documentation(This is important!) I know with your help, this going to be a kick-butt FrontEnd. I suppose I should tell everyone a little bit about it, here are some of the better features: -No Windows look! -Full screen -Has a separate configuration program -0-90-180-270 degree rotation -No 3d card required, runs fine on a P200 -Built in "Skinner" -Multiple Emulator Support -Multiple Game Catagories -Powerful list filtering /catver support -Supports MPG and AVI movies - MP3 playlists -DirectX8 required -Remappable inputs, (keyboard,mouse,joysticks) I also am looking for Name Suggestions, I have been working under the name "Kymaera" as an answer to a certain "Burger King" front end, however, I'm not tied to Kymaera, and I'd like to hear some name suggestions. Following are some screen shots of the editor and front end. Here's a Screen shot of the skinner, You can click and drag the text / images /gamelists around on the screen. You can edit them by selecting them in the list and clicking edit. |

Here's what happens when you click the "Preview" button, You get a preview of what it will look like in full screen mode. |

Here's the main configuration screen with a list of emulators and a few options. |
| PacManFan:
Here's the Emulator configuration screen, On this screen, you can setup the options for each emulator, The rom paths, the game list catagory files, art paths, the commands to launch the emulator or program, and which skin file to use for the emulator. |

And on this screen, you can create and edit you game lists either by importing directories, or getting a list from mame,and then you can create and run filters to include or exclude games based on gameinformation such as catagory,name, controller type, year, screen size,screen orientation , etc... |
