If anyone could recommend to me the best way to go about achieving such a goal, I'd be greatly appreciative. I would like a MAME Frontend/rom sorting solution to: *Be able to not only browse a full gamelist, but also to browse by categories (Shooters, platform) *Be able to sort out all junk (mahjong) ROMs and clones (Doesn't necessarily need to be done by frontend, any solution would work) *Be able to start not only MAME, but SNES, NES, Genesis, etc. emulators as well. *Not have any "YOU MUST BE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO USE THIS ROM TYPE OK TO CONTINUE" *Have a layout that's usable at low resolutions (running 640x480 on a TV via S-Video) For anyone who can suggest the best way to go about this, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thank you so much. |

The frontends that get the most press on this forum and are still being updated are (sorted in descending alphabetical order ;D): Mala GameEx AtomicFE --- Quote from: orangelounge on August 20, 2007, 02:27:27 pm ---*Not have any "YOU MUST BE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO USE THIS ROM TYPE OK TO CONTINUE" --- End quote --- You will need to patch and compile Mame for it to disappear. If you don't want to compile, I think one of the front ends will submit an "OK" for you so that it goes away quickly, anyone? |

Just wondering. Does it require a specific layout to be used, or how should I configure this up? Thanks again. |

Not a specific layout. If you just want to browse, you can create a filter. However I think most people would use either Mala's game list editor or romlister to create custom game lists based upon the criteria that you specifiy. |
