TALK ME OUT OF MAME32!!!
Dink:
I need to use a frontend because I use multiple emulators (mame32, project 64, 1964, daphne .99.4, daphne .99.5, stella, FCE Ulta, etc).
The problem is... there isn't a Win32 frontend that:
1. runs on Windows 98SE
2. launches win32 AND dos emulators
3. is compatible with all the current emulators
4. that is easy to configure (SELF CONFIGURING)
Since most frontends are free, I can't complain. :)

1/3 most fe's no problem...
4...hehe mine is cetrainly not self configuring and will probably never be because of the sheer number of options ;) Also when you want a fe that can handle a lot off different emulators it will always take some effort to cfg it. That said Lazarus seems to be your best bet because HC learned from our and his examples and made a new cfg system for lazarus which is the most straightforward for handling complex setup to date :D

Minwah:
My FE is very easy to configure for emus (just the .exe location required). BUT it is not as flexible as eg Lazarus and therefore is probably not compatible with ALL emulators. Most emu's that can be commandline driven work fine though :)
Lilwolf:
I dont' think they should be self configuring..
but they should be working out of the box..
what does that mean? You install... and after setting directories it's working...
then you can fine toon.
I hate when nothing works... and you don't know what to do but check every ini file.
It's much nicer to have it working... then say... I want it to do this... and look and find it... get it working... then continue (ie, you are changing from working to working better)
