I'm surprised you didn't like it :-\ I love it, been using it on my 4 player arcade, and using it for the cocktail arcade I built for my father as well. Once it's set up it runs great with great support for pc games, and other emus as well, and I like how it displays the screenshots and video for the games when listed. I guess everyone has their own taste.

Gameex is a good choice though to me I only found it useful when combined with Media Center as it was a more practical way to play games on a media center pc without having to pull out the keyboard and mouse to start up.

MALA, you will NOT be disappointed.  It's fun as hell to customize too.

I don't see how asking people on the board about there personal experiences with Front Ends should have him refer to the wiki, nor does the wiki state that he can't ask a question about what some of the users on the board use.

Also the page you link on frontends you are attaching comes out comepletely blank.


Either way Cero21, I actually took a look at Mala and it may be the best front end to try out, I may actually try it on my own machine I use Arcade Maximus on to see how it looks, Mala has a lot more layout choices compared to M.A.
Cero21:
Thanks everyone for the advice. 

I tried out both Mala and GameEx and I think I'm going to go with GameEx for the time being.  Mala sounds like a good option as well which I might look into further when I have some time.  It seems you need to do quite a bit of configuring to get it how you like it.

I really didn't appreciate the wiki bombs as I was looking more for your preferences and not just a list of FEs available.  Plus, I before posting I did read the wiki and it didn't help to choose.  Again, it was just more a list with no qualitative properties.
