Title: Frontend for PC games also?
Post by: asr10 user on January 18, 2010, 01:37:09 pm

Just wondering if any Mame frontend can throw in PC games as well.  I ahvent found one that does yet.  Would be awesome for games like Typing of the Dead and Raiden 2,3 that I have on my PC.

Check out the wiki.  It shows which ones can.  Of course, it may be a little out of date and more recent FE's can as well.  But it's a great place to start.

http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Front-Ends (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Front-Ends)

The five that show and spring to mind that do are (in no particular order):

AtomicFE
GameEX
Hyperspin
Mala
Mamewah

Those are also highly followed and used here so if you have problems getting them setup, just post and someone will help.

EDIT:  Looks like my list is alphabetical....

It's pretty trivial to do that with Mala. I fire up DukeNukem and Step Mania that way from Mala (as well as launch a BAT file to shut the system down).

Thanks, ill check these out.  Step mania and Duke Nukem are going to be in heavy use.

If you haven't checked it out,

And definitely download the hires pack. It's utterly fantastic! Duke, widescreen on a 24" monitor in native res with hires graphics.

Good stuff!

3d arcade can also be set up to launch PC games.
