mabu:
So what's the best front end these days?  I know this is a loaded question, but what are most people using now?

And what about in 640x480 mode?  What's the best front end to use for that?

Mala  or AtomicFE work very well

The official site is now at http://mame32qa.classicgaming.gamespy.com/.  The old site hasn't been updated for ~ 5 years.  Sorry, I should have guessed you were going to the wrong site from your second post.

Err, the optipac is for mouse type devices, only.  Joysticks and buttons (besides two mouse buttons) need other interfaces.  It can flip between TB & spinner with delays, but there are ways arround that.  Easiest: wire the TB to TB 1, and the spinner to TB 2.

IIRC, the ipac has the p1start + p2start = esc key shift as default.  The hotrod and xarcade ctrlr files have mame do the same thing in software.  I HATE this default. 
Check what interface your buttons are wired to, and which button combos make you exit mame, and I'll give you details on unmapping this IMO mistake, if you want.


(I don't use a FE, so can't help you there.)

Opps, typo. :-[  "IMO"  I'll correct the other post, too.

IMO, having player1 start + player 2 start as exit mame is bad, Bad, BAD.  That's why I remap.
