Best Front-End

[Dazz]

Maximo G+...

Full 3D walk-through arcade support, scrolling menu, movie support, Direct 3D acceleration of all 3DFX games, cheats menu, automated ROM revision forward and back to any version of MAME, LED support, hiscore.dat support in ALL versions of MAME with an automatic screenshot of high scores that can be shown as a screensaver if the user wishes. Best of all, it has built in XBOX 360 emulation, though its very slow at the moment. Games are *just* playable on a quad-core rig.

hahah I have no idea what Maximo is! LOL ask TOK. I just put it on there cause he said it exsited! I didnt vote for it. He must have. Think I'll leave it there its kinda funny!

I think this is going to be the new ongoing joke around here... Anytime someone suggests a FE we should all recommend Maximo right off.

Of course then there is going to be some smart ass come along and create a FE and use the name Maximo just because.

Well if that was the case you could not even count HyperSpin, it’s that new and gaining a lot of buzz... I mean the poll result tell you that already.

New options can be added to a poll.  This one started with just two options.

Would not make sense as you can only vote once and not change your vote over time.  If the choices are all not there to start with, the poll makes no sense.

Think about it...

Read all of what I wrote then you think about it.  This poll started with two (2) choices.  The OP changed it once people added their thoughts.  Adding a choice to a poll isn't difficult. 

The other comment that I made that you either failed to read or didn't understand is that the OP can setup a poll so that someone can change their vote.  If I voted for one FE, then want to change my vote to another FE, I can.  That would allow for new FEs that catch people's attention to be added throughout time. 

Yeah well when all that happens, you let us know.

Here's the link.  Saint's agreed to sticky it so that should make it easy for everyone to find.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say...  HS allows 4 artworks + background. 

Look, I'm certainly not going to complain about a free front-end. And it's certainly cool. And competition is great, and I may even run it myself.

I'll let those screenshots speak for themselves. It's just a little too over the top for *my* tastes. That's all. I'm not condemning it at all, just saying it's a little too much eye candy in my humble opinion.

Thought I 'd revisit this thread and see if anybody has changed their tune. I am currently running Maximus. I also have a Mala setup that I like (mainly because the game lists are easier to create and it runs my LEDs flawlessly). My CP admin buttons were originally laid out for Mala and people have a hard time navigating the menu in MA. Currently, I have Vista installed and we all know how older programs despise Vista. MA allows me to shut down without a mouse...which is good for my kids.

Maybe I'll look into Hyperspin. I think this winter I may modify my CP (replace Ultimarc 4/8's with Happ competitions, add a 4 way, and maybe another admin button) and back everything up and downgrade to XP. That may cure a lot of my problems.

I was switching between ArcadeOS and Mame32, I eventually settled on ArcadeOS. This was over 8 years ago.

Maybe I'll try one of these fancy frontends after I finish the cab I've been working on for the last 6 years...
