Lazarus 2.0 is out!
jkw:
Not to be picky or anything, but on your webpage you state in the July news:
"Welcome to the official homepage of the first completely universal, multi emulator front end with the mame-cab builder in mind."
That is a completely untrue statement. I know for a fact that emuwizard was around before lazarus. It is definately a "universal, multi-emulator front end with the mame-cab builder in mind". And there are probably others (gamelauncher?) before emuwizard.

Yeah there are more that fit the description...like mine...but knowing Howard you must not take that statement to seriously :D And there is some reason behind this claim it is the first universal fe because with the uiniversal wrappers it can launch any emulator even those non-commandline emulators that have not been created yet! :P

You purposely left out the "completely" part, why?
That's what HC is claiming. With his wrappers you can run practically any emu.
Plus what )p( said, you can't take HC seriously all the time.

It's what the others said. My fe is the only one that can, in theory at least, launch ANYTHING. :) You can launch anything from a mame game to a mp3 file and anything inbetween. Your only limited by the amount of time you have, your creativity and your system's resources.
The good news is now almost every fe can have the same functionality due to the fact that the wrappers are external. They work particularly well with game launcher and emulaxian from what I've been told.
I appreciate your defense of the other fe's by the way and please realize that I hold them all in the highest respect. I've become somewhat of an unofficial embassador for all of the front-ends so I'm aware of all of their good points. That's why I'm always trying to add interesting features, because I'm also well aware of all the others' limitations.

I don't believe there is an emulator or application that emuwizard can't launch. It is completely configurable to launch any executable.
I have not yet looked at these wrappers, so perhaps they do more than it seems.
