That is a pretty flashy theme! Though I've used MA for several years and do love it's ease of use and simplicity, I'm using a different front end these days. The main thing missing in MA for me was being able to make use of the game description information (primarily in/from MAME). I know you can see it in the MAME UI (even MAME64 if you click in the right spot), but that's almost like a 2nd front-end. I wanted be able to see on 1 screen (at minimum) the Marquee, video clip and the description of an individual game. After a lot of trial and [operator] error, I landed on BigBox. Not too complicated, currently supported and has some nifty features.

Haven't posted in awhile been a tad bit busy.
Recently discovered a rom pack for Ice cold beer, Ice cold root Beer and Zeke's Peke. through the use of JoytoKey I was able to launch it and have my P1 and P2 joysticks work to go up and down.
I've mostly been adding some PC games and getting them to work properly, as well as various pinball. Currently have Pinball Fx2, Pinball FX3 and Future Pinball up and running.
Tip for PBFX3, Zen made changes to commands and launching. Now to launch games the command is "-table, %name" plus you need to have cabinet mode enabled so that means contacting Zen. Took about 3 days but now all my games launch to a table and not into the main menu.
I'm still trying to work on a theme that isn't so big i should be able to share that shortly I hope lol

Very nice!
Mario Kart Wii is my all time goto. So I'm very intrigued with the arcade GP (but too scared to 'look for it')
Here's my cab (and with the drop-down keyboard/mouse tray). You'll see the button(s) on the side which is great for (well, probably only for) pinball games. I just recently got an Xbox 360 controller (at the insistence of my 22 year old) but haven't set it up yet. Though the Ipak buttons/joysticks/trackball work flawlessly, they don't for something like Luigi's Mansion (by mere placement of the controls).

That is AWESOME!!!!
Love the Mountain Dew Theme.
Yeah Mario Kart Double Dash one of my favs but the Wii version is clutch. Pretty much the only reason i want to get a switch is for MK8 haha
Send me a PM and i can send you my files via google drive. It'll have to be a standalone. It plays awesome even with joysticks haha.
Here's a video of nesicaxlive games on my build with my custom theme.
Here's my bartop, with the recently added pinball side buttons
