GameEx has had some major changes lately. There is a theme editor now and some of the themes that are being made are great. It has a option to make it run for an arcade display and change it so its doesn't look like Windows MCE. It also has great settings for the arcadevga setup. Every game is set to correct resolution without configuration. The front end is easy as hell to setup and he updates it almost every other day. He even put in remote management software. It also has the view control panel when playing a mame game feature. Dragon King is nice but it is a pain to setup this is easy straight out of the box and can be tweaked without to much trouble. Check it out www.tomspeirs.com/gameex :laugh: |

I would say try them all out, and don't listen to a front author who recommends his own front end. They generally love replying to these sort of threads, and often bag other front ends. It's all down to how YOU feel about a front end, and unfortuantly you need to do your research. It takes time, theres no best or prettiest front end as everyone has different rquirements, hardware and taste. Although it would be helpfull to have a most used front list or a shortened list of front ends in active development somewhere but I would say these are generally the most used, and all but Gamelauncher and Dragon King is still in very active development.

Perhaps these kind of threads can be redirected there in the future. Although maybe I've got crap in my eyes, but I did not see a status column, indictating whether the front end is still in active development, or approximatly when last updated. I think this is important as some front ends don't work anymore due to changes in MAME. If I'm missing that though please correct me. EDIT: Yep crap in my eyes it's there, just need to read it fully. I think a another column would be better though IMHO. Cheers. |
