:-\ I've recently completed my first Cabinet running(in DOS) ArcadeOS and Mame with the original Arcade monitor, I've also added a SNES emulator and all works well.
PROBLEM - I want to add an N64 emulator, but I don't think there is a DOS version available. Is my best option to switch to windows and lose my Arcade Monitor(It's Low-Res)? In which case will my frontend still work, and if not what's my best GUI option considering I'm using arcade buttons and Joystick?
Cheers,
Slice!

You can get a blade 3d card from ultimarc.com and run windows. I think there is a singular n64 dos emulator, but it's very old. You might want to search for it as I cant' remember it's name.
twist:
the DOS emulator is here: http://membres.lycos.fr/totaln64/
Its called "Nincest64" (yeah, what a name :-\) It runs it DOS, but like HC said, old(er).

Hi,
Well I've ditched the DOS idea and I'm switching to WIN98 or ME (Haven't deceided yet!!) outputed on a TV. But I still want to get both the NIN64 emulator (now looking like Project64!) and MAME to work, in the Cabinet with the six button control setup!
Is there a decent frontend to do this or do I have any other options? Most are written just for MAME or seem to be based on regular Windows GUI's - i.e need a mouse!

You will have to wait a few days until Howie releases his new fe. It will include wrappers to launch emu's that can not be run from the commandline. (And these wrappers will be usable by a lot of other fe's like mine also...great Howard ;-) So you will have lots off options when the dragon rises from the ashes :-) )
