So I've been out of the mame game for quite a long time, but I'm back. Finally got around to finishing my cab (which I started building over 10 years ago) and now she's got a nice lick of paint (sat built but primed for 10 years), flat screen (instead of the 68cm fat back), four 6x9" speakers and amp and a reasonable PC. I've always just used mameUI because I've never really invested any time in anything else (I do remember trying out a 3d arcade many years ago) and I realise a good front end would be much better, especially for when people come over and kids. So looking for recommendations to use with my Win10 pc (core i5-2400 @ 3.1GHz) and latest mame build.
I've started looking at GameEx and was also going to try Mala but google and chrome are actively trying to stop me from downloading it. What would you recommend?
Also anyone point to how I can create a list of games that I want in a main list in the FE? Like I create a text or xml file of the romnames I want as a primary or popular list and get the FE to show only them in the main menu, but still get to other games in other menus?
Cheers
