Title: Recommend me a FE
Post by: lightspeed on September 23, 2002, 12:19:29 pm

I want to be able to switch between MAME (Win32 build) and Nesticle and other console emulators.  

Any experience with GameLauncher or other FE that will support swicthing between multiple emus?

Thanks,

        Joe

Gamelaunncher will do just well... Lazarus is also a good choice to start with...

Actually if you are talking about the gui-ed version of mame then gamelauncher is going to run into troubles as is lazarus.  It's best to use a command-line version of mame.  Although technically both will work, you have to add your rom paths to mame32 which you wouldn't have to do if you use regular old mame.  There is also a command line switch you have to send to get it to not dump back to the gui when your game is finished.  I forget it off hand.

Yeah, definately go with a commandline version of MAME if you want to use a separate FE.

Try mine (MAMEWAH) if you like, it's easier to setup than eg Lazarus, although not as flexible, or indeed as nice looking.

I'm using Mamewah and I'll agree it is very easy to set-up.
I've also got gamelauncher working now, but configuring that thing was a major pain.
