Noob asks for launcher recommendations...

[BillytheGoat]

I've checked out the faq here and watched a few youtube vids, but some of the info is outdated and too often the vids I watch are more about how to install rather than just showing how the launcher performs.  At least that's my excuse for asking for more of a spoon feed.

So, I'm looking to build a cabinet later this year based primarily around a couple dozen games with MAME being the main or perhaps only emulator.  I haven't done enough research/experimentation to know if MAME works well enough for old SNES titles (not counting playchoice) or if I'll have to use a separate emulator.  That said, I'm looking for a launcher that's very clean and simple.  Frills (like videos) are fine so long as the load times aren't long and it isn't too "busy", so to speak.  I don't mind paying for software if it's good enough, but i'm not too proud for freeware.  When I do eventually build my cabinet, it will probably not be something I update very often or ever.

Given my criteria, please offer me your top 3 or top 5 suggestions for launchers and I'll check them out.

Thanks!

Dont fall into the Maximus trap.

Look at Hyperspin or launch box or one of the other well supported ones.

Lots of setup videos on you tube.
