With all these different version of mame floating around which is the best one? ???
Right now i'm using Mame32 v81 (i think)....
Lilwolf:
depends on what you do..
mame32 sucks in an arcade cabinet.
I would say the best overall solution is this
good frontend (many good ones)
NoNameMame
all other emulators.

So NoNameMame is you answer... I was going to take a look at NoName, but i can't seem to find the link for it here...
My mame system isn't in a cab, just connected to my T.V. So i'm looking for something with a good simple GUI so my friends can use it without bugging me...

No Name MAME
It's developer, theGatesofBill, is active on this board, and there are a couple different active threads on it right now.
I personally think an FE like MAMEWah will take a little more time to set up than MAME32 (like, 15-20 minutes for a basic usable setup, as I recall), but I think is easier to use in the end.

I am biased of course but I think this is a popular misconception. *Anyone* can setup MAMEWAH (for basic MAME use) in literaly less than 3 minutes (including installation), and not even using Stuzzas tips or David Butler's MAMEWAH Setup:
All of the settings in MAMEWAH are preset for MAME, all you need do is enter the Emulator Executable (eg c:\mame\mame.exe) and assuming you use standard roms & snap folders (99% of users seem to) everything else will be ready to go. Of course if you want to make a layout, setup screensavers, play mp3's etc. then time adds up.....
