Are you blind, the only thing the same as MCE is the animated selector bar. --- End quote --- That big ass START screams Windows to me... However, your other points are valid - with the skins (most of which seem to still look a bit MCE-like, just basic re-arranging with different backgrounds) you can change it to look non MCE. I would just like to see more unique built in skin options right off the bat. We aren't all graphic artists. So, I retract my earlier statement, and I would say with a good skin, this would make a good front end. But..... Free vs. nagware is a tough one. (By the way, I don't use Mamewah either) |

I must say I had never looked into GameEX because ofthe nagware, that just immediately drops it off my list, same for commercial programs. I had looked at a few of the others that offered the kindof features I wanted, I tried installing DK a few years ago and hardware compatibility issues of some kind (I think), Kyamera is not being developped actively... so I didn't mean to say that the three I mentionned were the best in any way, but that they seemed to be the best fit for my needs. I still haven't found the time to mess around with this, probably not going to happen this weekend, and I'm on a business trip next week. Maybe I can try and set them up on the laptop while on my trip... |

I have been so busy on the emumovies project that I have not had any time to install any other front ends. I do have one question about mala though. I use a 4x40 lcd to display the different controls used for different games/emulators. MameWAH uses .lcd files to send instructions to the display. Does Mala do the same thing? The reason why it is so important is that I have spent countless hours creating those .lcd files for the different systems/games and it is not something that I could or would want to start over on. |

MaLa sends the instructions/text on the fly to the lcd. You just have to create some line/screen templates with placeholder and MaLa will replace the placeholder for you when selecting/starting a game. Here is the list of all placeholder (in german but I think you can understand) you can use: Game values (Standard Mame Informationen): - Buttons (~g_buttons): Anzahl der ben |
