I heard there was going to be a Hyperspin 2.0 But that was some time ago and I've seen nothing since.

I like Mala. Can be skinned to fit any need/look. Free. Plays all emulators and PC games.
Dagg:
I have been gone 10 years but still using mamewah but I may explore other stuff. I have it configured for marquees and music while browsing and about 6 emulators. Fits the bill but with little kids I am thinking about something more like maximus so I dont have to be involved when they turn it on.

I use GameEx on both of my MAME machines. It is easy to use and works great with Windows XP. The best part is that it has no problems with putting the PC to sleep and waking up from sleep, since that is how I have the power button on the arcade configured. I like some of the other Front Ends, but I started with GameEx and I don't see any reason to switch. My brother is a huge fan of HyperSpin.
Southern Dad:
I use Maximus Arcade because of how easy it was to set up and understand. It was worth $25 to me for the ease of use. Like a previous poster I have little ones that use this arcade. Maximus is simple enough that a five-year-old is able to play Ms Pacman, Frogger and Joust with no issues.
ppv:
If it wasn't for the much needed parental controls, I would be using Mala. It's dead simple to use, lots of layouts (and easy to create one). It's just a shame that it isn't updated anymore, or open sourced.
I tried MA, but it did a weird bug on me where I could not update game lists at all, and Mame took ages to open only for it to stop working, so blah.
So I stuck with AtomicFE. Much less easy to use, layout editor is a PITA but it works very well.
