Green Giant:
The only book you will ever need.

As for a frontend, nearly all are designed for XP.  I prefer Mala as it has more features for free.  Some others like AtomicFE.  It really depends on your hardware you will be using, controllers, computer, joysticks, etc.

Read the wiki for more.
lotec25:
book ordered. thanks for the info.  looking over the front ends
SithMaster:
thatd make for a sweet vertical theme cab.  Id make a new cp and have two player controls with two buttons for each player.  do you like the 1940's line of shooters?
lotec25:
yea the cp is going to have to be rebuilt i have tried to use it thinking i was playing a game and there is not way.  Yea i love shooters that is what i usually play.  And mario every onced in a while.  just not sure if i should leave it how it is or try to make a new cp base a little bigger. 

There is a little damage on the bottom of the case so i have to get that fixed first.  And i am looking at this control board
