Replacing my mame cab - need advice
Games001:
My $0.02 is going with GameEx. I have installed in on a few machine and they run easily, smoothly and with minimal install issues. Setup I actually found to be more 'user friendly' than other FEs and it's programmed very much like any other basic windows program. You won't need a monster to run it smoothly and it's easy on the eyes with dozens, if not a hundred odd layouts.
CathalDublin:
Hyperpin is a simple setup, especially if you are only using mame

Does each game need to be "programed", meaning you would have to create an intro and the animation yourself?
CathalDublin:
Each theme needs to be downloaded or made yourself, there is currently hundreds for download on their homepage.
If a game hasnt a theme it just uses a default theme and shows the video from your vids folder

Dazz:
HyperSpin has come a LONG way since the first release that the above video is of. Games do not necessarily have to have their own theme, it just looks nicer with a custom theme for the game. If a game doesn't have a theme created a generic default theme that looks like any other front end is displayed.
GameEx and Maximus Arcade would be two more excellent front ends as well that are definitely worth taking a look at.
