Thanks for your reply, I haven't fiddled much with front ends I am trying to keep setup as simple as possible on my cabinet. I guessed I would probably need some sort of front end for multiple control layouts.

Mine is very simple, I just have a Icon for each thing I want to run (4 Icons), I have the taskbar set to auto hide. Then a custom desktop background and tab and enter mapped to the control panel. All I do is press tab until one of the icons is selected, then change icons with the joystick and press my control panel Enter to run that game, jukebox etc. Its not fancy but it seems to work well on my cab.

I like the Doom suggestion :) that would be a pretty fun game to have on a cabinet.

I haven't tried it yet, but there's a game called "Bullet Candy" that looks interesting. It seems to be a sort of fusion between Geometry Wars and Ikaruga (or similar "bullet hell" games.) It's a pay-to-download, but it's only 4 bucks or so, so that doesn't seem too much of an issue. I only wish that I could find a game demo first.

I have a cobalt flux dancepad and a PS2 to PC Adapter. Any old dance pad will work with a good adapter to your PC. Here is a list of supported adapters: http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/USB_Adapters

Plugged it into my Mame Arcade running Mala and everything works flawlessly. Much better than the DDR mame options, and adding music is easy. Very easy to find all the original ddr packs if you know how to use Google.

If you are looking to make it a more authentic game you can even enable coins.

Hyperbowl (Link to archive of original site) is awesome with a real trackball. The only problem is that you need to use the keyboard to enter player names, but I've learned to do this using the joysticks and buttons connected to my Minipac.

Get Medieval (Link) is a great Gauntlet clone. There’s a level editor for it, too.

I play the PC version of Golden Tee Golf with many addl courses. I also like Neverball (Link) and the kids like SpongeBob’s Obstacle Odyssey (Link).
