Great MAME front end/ U360 controls
« on: March 31, 2007, 04:21:11 am »
Hey guys, been lurking for a while, asking a couple of questions from time to time, and I love the feedback in this forum:

Is there a "best" or a few really great MAME32 frontends? I'd like one that is pretty simple, can list some clones, and has some nice effects and acceleration while scrolling through the long list of games.

Is there anyway to set MAME to autosave state when you escape a game (much like the Wii does with its VC games), and auto load state?

I bought the U360 stick a bit ago (lovely thing), and was wondering if there was anyway at all to hook it up to act as a Dreamcast pad as well(pure digital, of course, as there wouldn't be a need for the analog stick), since I already have the system hooked up to my cabinets monitor.

Help much appreciated, these questions have been bugging me a for a while now.

Most front-ends work the best with the command line version of Mame (not to be confused with the DOS version) instead of mame32.

Since you have the u360s, you probably want to check out Mala.  It has a plugin that sends the u360 a map based upon the game chosen.  For example, Q-Bert diags, Pac Man 4 way, etc...

Either that or his Pac-man sound is a bit off.

Does the wiki specifically speak about the U360? As I saw it, it just gives a complete list of all possible frontends. Without a quality rating or anything specific about the U360. So one would have to try them all, maybe not a bad suggestion, but very time consuming

That helped with front ends, but I couldn't find much in the way of Dreamcast hookups.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yeah.... Buy a spare Dreamcast pad and hack it. It's about the only way to go with this.

Most bottles and jars contain at least twenty-five percent recycled Pacman.
And research indicates that Space Invaders are strongly attracted to people who have recently eaten meat pies.

Well yes, that is the plan, but I was wondering if that is actually possible with the u360, considering it connects differently, and how I'd go about doing it?
