I have a Tempest cabinet with the original control panel (spinner to mouse & buttons to keyboard) and I'm looking for a front end for it. The PC is an Athlon XP 1.2GHz, nForce 420 (GeForce 2mx) and runs XP with a 768x1024 vertical monitor. The simpler the better (my current list is ~100 games, but that will probably come down once I've played them). I'm thinking a scrolling list of marquees or something like the cylinder arcade from 3D-Arcade. (I'd use 3-D Arcade, but I'd prefer one which is still being enhanced.)

I like Mala, there are a lot of different skins for it :)

Whoops, wrong thread....

I have configured 3D Arcade as the front end using the cylarcade layout. The learning curve is pretty steep, but I got where I wanted with the assistance of the forum.

Wouldn't Hyperspin and a spinner be a good combination?

Have a look at http://www.mgalaxy.com/ (http://www.mgalaxy.com/) if you want something simple that's still being maintained. Only works with MAME though.

Possibly. I don't know how well the wheel display works with a vertical monitor. I also don't know how well it will work "out of the box", i.e. without a lot of time & customization.
Plus, there's just something cool about having the 3D cabinets as part of the display.

But does it work with a spinner? (I wasn't able to see anything in the online docs.) And, as I said above, the 3D Arcade provides a cool looking screen rather than just text and screenshots.
