Hi, Seeing your machine specification, all FE will fit . As said loadman look the wiki. And i also suggest you concentrate your choice on the four major . Mala,GameEX,AtomicFE and Mamewah. I don't know if it is already in the wiki but Khameleon seems very promising too. If you have question about AtomicFe, i'm here and i have also a english forums here : http://spaceinvaders.7.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=13&sid=1d92bcadf01441a7fdcab70c70b965c8 |

As far as I can tell, there hasn't been any development with it in about 9 months. Don't want to rain on your parade since I was originally setting up my cab to run with mamewah, but the constant work on mala allowed it to pass up mamewah in features and ease of use. Also, can you run mamewah with the latest version of mame? I would assume you can, but you probably have to update and modify every .ini since they have changed mame so much from .107. Go with the big three, Mala, AtomicFE, and GameEX. |

I'm running Mame .119 and several other emulators (Daphne, vivanonno, Mjolnir, Model2, etc. etc.), and Mamewah still works great. Having said that, it's hard to go too wrong with any of the front ends that have been recommended. I'm just too stubborn to start over again, particularly since I'm not having any problems with it. |

I love MaLa, you can't go wrong with it. It's versatile and easy to use. |
