yes, time. to really set things up porperly and make sure all the features work it takes quite a bit of time, which I'd rather spend playing :)

You can have a basic MaLa and Atomic set-up in minutes and you already know about mame-wah.  Have a go!

You are going have to do some homework to make valid decision   ;)

headkaze:
The amount of posts on here about Mala, Atomic and MameWah don't indicate their popularity at all. In fact one might suggest the amount of posts are relative to the amount of bugs in them (just kidding fellas!).

GameEx is also a popular FE, but it has it's own forum so everyone posts over there. If all the posts about GameEx were made in here you would probably think it's the best FE too (if the amount of posts indicates their popularity in your opinion).

But these sort of threads are really unecessary because you have (1) the coders and (2) the fans of most FE's who frequent this place, and you will always get different opinions on which one is the best. Quite often the advice is from someone who has only tried one FE anyway, so how can they give you a fair comparison?

My advice will be to listen to loadman..

Saves any potential for this thread to turn into a "my FE is better than yours" argument.

Let's keep the posts about the FEs in perspective: Most of the posts about AtomicFE are Youki adding new plug and play modules, better layout editor, etc. Most of the posts about Minwah and Mala are new users trying to figure them out. All three are rock solid. (I know you said just kidding, but you did mention it...)

Don't get me wrong about Gamex - I tried it, and it does have a lot of cool features, is very slick, well supported, and extremely well documented. However, IMO not suitable for an arcade cab - it looks too Windows Media PCish.
gamecreature:
You really have to do your own research on this subject. The wiki is a great place to start. I've lost track of all of the FE's I've tried. Some worked, some didn't. Some looked great, some... eh, not so much. But really, what works for me may not necessarily work for you. Look at them, try them (you're not going to lose anything by trying them - it's just software, not an OS) and see what works best for you.
