Intro videos packs and Images

[Demon-Seed]

I apologize in advance but is there a torrent file or sites that have emulator intro videos and images for front ends?  Also what is the easiest pc front end to set up? I know there is so many.....

thanks
Jim

EmuMovies probably has something that would work for you.

Isn't it EmuMovies that only works with HyperSpin?  Or am I mixing that up with a different site?

No.  I use maximus arcade and my vids from emumovies.  They offer all vids in avi and flv format I believe.  Download avi for maximus or flv for hyperspin.

Correct, if you are a member of EmuMovies, they offer the movies in AVI and FLV format.  The AVI files you can use with pretty much any front end.

When I started with this hobby, I started using Maximus Arcade.   I found that this front end was one of the easiest to configure.   But I wasn't crazy about having to pay for it, and back then when this happened, it didn't have some of the features I was looking for (which have since been added).

After a while, I switched over to Mala.   I love this front end.  It's still very easy to configure in my opinion, and is highly customizable.   Also, IMHO, I found the layout editor was much easier to use in Mala than the Maximus Arcade one was.  So if you plan to make your own menus, this is something to consider.

I haven't played with hyperspin yet, so I can't comment on that front end, but at least from the little I've read, I didn't think it was that hard to configure...

emumovies has a pretty complete set of AVIs and FLVs on a torrent for free, and for the images, you can google for the images and find a site, thats what I did.

No we support every front end that works with video, I am still working on the new site so please don't judge me on the download sections (I know I am taking too long) the torrent is a great place to start and once the new mame video set is released I imagine I will update and release another SQ torrent.  But I imagine that will not be until the end of 2010 early 2011 at best.  Because almost every video set has updates that are being integrated at this point.  Since there has really never been a good way to tell exactly what is available I finally put up a complete ftp listing.  If you would like to see it follow this link:

Also I know many users from this great site have visited EmuMovies over the years but if you haven't been recently please come by to check out the new site and say hi!

for snapshots and images I've been using Google image search. A little time consuming sure, but effective if your trying to find a certain game

No links to sites with ROMs please ---saint has a ton of artwork.

just found a new website with screen shots for every game ever made on every system. no roms or anything so I can post the link. This is a great resource!! it has every system listed with info on the original specs and pics of the original system, and what seems to be pretty complete gamelists for every system (including arcade) and multiple screen shots of pretty much every game.
