Title: What Front End
Post by: jaharr01 on April 27, 2020, 10:54:38 am

Hey guys, it’s been a while. So what arcade front ends are people using these days? I need to rehab a driving cab I built which got some water damage from construction

There's a sticky where people discuss their favorite front ends here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,84933.0.html

Another thread was just started on this a couple weeks ago, too, here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,162420.0.html

I wouldn't rely too much on the first link (poll) one, impo its old poll,,... the second link read that one..

Personally I love Lauch Box with Big Box... you can get LB for free and use it for free if you like it Big Box its way better but u have to pay one time for that one..

Give it a rest. Just because you don't see the value doesn't mean others won't. All info is valuable and it's up to the OP to decide what they like.

Should we get rid of the Ram Controls thread because it's old and a lot of the members who had opinions aren't around? Same with SlikStik?

Conversely, should we not trust RandyT because a lot of the feedback about him is old? Same with Andy?

Don't get me wrong, I never said it has no value nor that has to be eliminated... of course everything has value no matter how old it is to someone that needs it.. like the wind, its really really old and still blows,, ha..   
I just meant an updated one.. just my 2 cents..

Launchbox/BigBox is the easiest and has a ton of features.. If you pair it with rocketlauncher it's damn near perfect.

AttractMode has some awesome themes but it's harder to configure.

I'd go with one of those two.

In my opinion Hyperspin is too bloated and has its issues.  I think at this point BigBox/Launchbox has surpassed it.
