best frontend for a beginner
(1/5) > >>
langdoguk:
PLEASE HELP , Pretend I don't know ANYTHING about programming , or ini ,cfg , zip etc , and I wanted to use a frontend for my cab (I'm lucky I got mame working :applaud:) what is the best one for a simpleton, I've tried a few ,read the read me's try and set rom path's etc( :banghead:) but just don't understand them. Is there any short ,easy to understand (eg right click on , and copy to )links for an easy frontend.
I've been trying to do this ages ages, but just can't , everywhere I read the guys in the know are saying put this in your *** file , and move this into a *** , and I end up more confused than when I started.
Think I might be looking for the dot to dot version.
would be grateful for any links to the dummy version , THANKS Craig

Ditto.

When you are more confident and want a FE that does not look like windows and hides windows check out the WIKI and try some.

Have Fun

mame32 is by far easiest for beginners..thats what i set up my 10 year old sister up with.  once you get beyond that...MALA is pretty simple to work with.
youki:
Yes, Mame32 would be the best for you but it is not very cab friendly.

If you want a multi-emulator one, try mine  with my plug'n play module: AtomicFE

Most of the module require no configuration to play.  You have just to copy your roms in the required folder. that's all. 

Only what you have to do :

Download and install AtomicFE  (nothing to configure)
Download and install plug'n play modules you want (about 40 are already avaiblable)
Copy your roms in wanted folder for each module
run Atomic.exe and Play!

(It is very simple, few module more advanced require a little bit more configuration, but most of them require nothing).

later, if you wish you can customize as you want. But it will require more skill like others Front End.
