| Cakemeister:
Discussions of speed unfortunately must remain subjective as very few frontends allow independent measurements of frame rates via Fraps or some other tool. I still think that Atomic is faster than MAMEwah. If you created an Atomic skin to match the default MAMEWah layout, then had a way to measure frame rates, I would predict that Atomic would come out ahead. In a subjective test, running both frontends with the same skin elements at the same resolution, I would guess that they would look the same. I'm guessing that Youki has already done testing of this type. |

Just having finished my cabinet a couple of months ago, I went through almost every available front end trying to find what I felt was the best. After spending a total of about 15 minutes with GameEx I knew I had found the answer. I really like Maximus Arcade as well, but new features and updates seem to be much faster in being released with GameEx. The author is quite open to suggestions as well. If you use your cabinet for other multimedia features as well, GameEx becomes an incredible deal at $25 (assuming you choose to register it which isn't mandatory). Dave |

I like command prompt . Fast but feature poor. C:\ mame invaders :laugh2: OK :lame: An oldie but a goodie... |
| Havok:
Actually, now that Mame has a front end built in, that isn't too far off... |
| protokatie:
I would say (for me anyways) Atomic, mostly because the layout editor is the easiest of the ones I played with (to learn atleast). Hmm, Loadman got me thinking. I remember seeing old Batch file based quick loader for software on DOS boxes. That would prolly be the quickest :D BTW anyone know how to make a .BAT file input values from the keyboard? (IE used to run a game etc) NM, I found it: The choice command... |
