HI I've got a bonus almost free old cab , and I'm looking to build it into a mame paradise , but I'd like to try and use it as a jukebox too , but I'm (pretty pants) not the best with programming etc , I can run mame 32 , and that about it , what would would be the best front-end to use for mame and a juke-box and maybe a few more emulator's (sega etc) , although I know it will take plenty of time , I just don't have the knowledge , so a simple version would be gold , thanks Craig :dunno , :notworthy: wonderboy |

Did you ck out the wiki? http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Front-Ends Spend some time and try some out. If you have any questions just ask. There seems to always be someone around to help. Also use the search feature of this board and see what you come up with. Have fun ;D |

AtomocFe download the Frontend and what other plug n play systems you like ( I would sudjest do one at a time!) Atomic works well with Mame32 ( other will say it is a wast of resources to do this and they are probably right but It sure is simple) As for atomics plug n play on Mame use the one from Yoshi. ( check spelling) I have noticed a lot of people say : Did you check out the wiki? I for one do not like the wiki. I get lost on that sight . I will be back with a link to AtomicFe some of the docs are still in French But it is still a strong FE and we can help you along It does have a jukebox..... I am not sure how to access it yet ... It is built in and I see no icon for it. I use arcade Jukebox 7.0 for my music remember Atomic will not do sub folders( meaning you can not link to other folders out side of atoncFe folder) say you use Atari 2600 plug and play put your Roms in the Roms folder in atomicFe plug n play folder should be something like c:\AtomicFE_v016\plugnplay\atari2600\roms very simple in layman's terms have atomic on hard drive ( call it drive c for now) ( most PC's are set up this way) click on your plugnplay ... ( the console system you downloaded) it will install for you now inside your atomicFE folder you will see sub folders Credits , Docs, Fakemame ( just a demo of what atomic is like right out of the box) Layouts ( I still have to tinker with this one) etc.... you are looking for the plugnplay folder click on that one. now you see atari2600 folder open that one more subfolders covers layout roms snap Roms is the one you want, open it and put in your roms now exit start atomic see the menu? open atari 2600 ( I still have to use the arrow keys ) ( I have not changed any of the features yet) ( I am still new at it myself) the first time you do this the screen will go black and start counting This is setting up your game list. First time takes like 5 min . next time will be instant pick your game and you are ready to work with the emulator (set up your controllers and what not) in a few minutes you are up and running and done with all the configurations most simple FE I have worked with here is the link http://www.atomicfe.com/ |
