HTPC MAME

Here is a MAME front end plugin for Windows Media Edition http://htpcnews.com/main.php?id=mcemame_1.  In the article he states that mamewah is hard to configure, which I disagree with.

Of course.  He has to make it sound difficult so that his plug-in seems like the ultimate solution.  Luckily it's geared toward an entirely different group of people than here.

fwiw,

I've seen myHTPC used in conjunction with mamewah.. on my buddy's cocktail... He uses mamewah, but when he wants his cocktail to playback mp3's or video clips or photoalbum or what have you he launches myHTPC via mamewah.

also SageTV, has a hidden undocumented MAME frontend built in that can be enabled...

Im sure there's  GOT to be a plugin for mythTV or freevo to act as a frontend (or call an exisiting linux MAME frontend).

i have my pc going staright into media center

i can run mamewah from media center... (never see windows)

logon screen is automatic w/o any text...logon jpeg is same as wallpaper (you actually see desktop for split second)

boot screen = mame...

gameex i thought was very slow and you cant enable moving/different jpg backgrounds on MCE

good look though
