Looks awesome!
Does it have the ability to rotate the display for use in a cocktail cab? If not, is that a feature that you were considering for the future?
There really aren't any good windows based frontends with the ability to rotate the display. I wish I could program!

Well not on it's own, but portrait software makes good use of screen rotation which will work. Also if you get a newer ati or geforce card desktop rotation is built into the drivers. The problem with both of these solutions is that it causes a great performance hit on certain setups. sicne both methods use a hotkey to activate, I was thinking that in a future version I could have it to where the screen rotates upon startup and then de-rotates upon the launching of a game, thus leaving screen rotation up to the user. The only reason I don't add cocktail support is the simple fact that I can't find an easy way to do it in vb.
And Sp you can post comments at the end of any news I post at the website. But I may get a message board setup in the future.
As of now phase 1 is almost complete. This front-end is supposed to work out the kinks and get the new modular structure in place. After I get that the way I want it, I'll port all of the display over to directX to improve speed and give the ability to add some cool fx. :) I just wanted to say that because even though graphically it will still look very much like it does now, the speed issues on slower machines eventually wont be an issue.
