In that case, I'd reccomend MaLa. I tried pretty much all of the front ends, from the obscure to those shouted from the rooftops here on this forum. Some of them refused to work, others worked right out of the box. The one that seemed to require the least amount of hair-pulling (and don't get me wrong, every single one of them had something that left me scratching my head) was MaLa. Fortunately, UncleT has written a fantastic guide for setting up MaLa here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=56010.0 You should have no problems. |

I have tried all the major (and minor :D ) front ends out there. Mala is good, however for pure ease of use and quick setup, I would definitely have to recommend AtomicFE - there are plug and play modules that allow simply that: you download the module, put the roms in the correct directory, and you are done! If you are not one to run configuration files, or go through various setups, it really can't be beat. It is especially nice for Daphne configuration, if you want to run LaserDisc games. (Daphne can be a bit of a pain to config and get running with a front end.) Plus there are some really nice looking themes available with the plug and play modules. You can check it out Here. I have been using it for a while, and I really like it. Youki is the developer, and is very active here and on his English support board if you have any problems\questions. |

I'll definitly have to give it a try again. By the way, does anyone know who the cheesecake is in the screenshot section of his page (the one between the Donkey Kong Jr. and Dragon's Lair layouts? Is that Tara Reid? |
