Howdy,

I don't know anything about front ends so I'm just looking for some advice.  I don't know what the current most popular one is or what but here's my requirements.

My PC is a P4 2.4Ghz PC with 1 gig of ram.  I'm using the onboard video but could throw in a card if that'd make a difference.  I'll be running a standard install of XP.

As for the FE, I don't really have much for requirements other than Maybe having a few different themes/skins to choose from would be nice.  I also want it to have a way that I can flag certain games as "Favorites" to add them to a list so I can quickly go to them and not have to scroll through 5000 games.

For the Skin/Theme stuff, I'd like something that has existing themes from other people I can download or something that is VERY easy to design my own in case I decide to take that extra step.

Anyhow, that's about it.  The less of a memory hog the better just for overall performance but I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point.

Thanks.

MameWah has a steep learning curve so I would not recommend to a newbie.

Possibly you a volunteering to help him through it?

No problem. Seems like i've been the only one answering Mamewah related questions lately.  ???

Edit: Hey kelemvor for someone asking about frontends you sure have a lot of posts.
