But ime sure our resident MA expert will be along shortly :)

I like the interface of MA. :)  What other one do you suggest?

All games both work in MAME as well as MA.  I just had that general question about some Roms getting the dump error but others not.  I was using DK as an example.

OK, I thought you meant that the errors stopped the games from launching/working.

To be clear, the games work but some of them show a "nag screen" reminder message like this when you start, right?

That's normal operation for MAME.

Use the nag screen info to get everything working and configured in MAME before you compile or find a "no-nag" version of MAME.
- IIRC, you can replace just the executable to change your setup from regular to "no-nag".
- The MAME devs hate "no-nag" builds because idiots keep complaining about problems such as already-known bugs or that non-working games don't work.   :banghead:

I use Hyperspin but its not the most user friendly FE if ime honest.
But it is very good, free and customiseable.

But there is also launch/big box, attract mode, emulation station.

There are loads.

I tried Hyperspin and didn't like the way the interface looked.  Then I tried Launchbox and didn't like the way it looked either. GameX was pretty good but not free.

I might retry them all again but for the look and ease, MA is still the best imo. Too bad it isn't supported much anymore (even though I don't really need the support..well right now at least).

Titchgamer:
The look of Hyperspin is very customisable.
Can make it as simple or fancy as you want and theres lots of setup videos out there.
Simply Austin is very good for setup videos.

As for ma it has no official updates or support at all.
