Best frontend for MAME-only, with gamelists for different controlsets?
goldenageofarcade:
Hi,
I'm looking for leads on a new FE. I use MAME only, so I don't need to worry about sorting through different emulators, but I need to have the ability to choose different gamelist depending on which CP I'm using at any given time (4-way, 8-way, analong, spinner, trackball, etc).
I'm primarily used MAMEWAH, but I can't seem to get it to work right anymore except on All Games, which is too cumbersome now that I'm not longer doing the One-Size-Fits-All CP, I really want to be able to create several lists with build in filterting based on specific control.
Any advice?

I use Mala. I used another program to generate the lists, but I can't remember the name of it. You can probably still find the name of it in the first few pages of the software forum, but I didn't see it in a quick search. I made my lists by controller type as well, and it works great.

Thanks very much! I tried MALA and used RomLister, it seems to work well. The lists generated aren't perfect, but a good starting point from which I can manually add/delete the ones that get mis-categorized easily enough.
I appreciate the suggestion,
Ryan

I use GameEx for MAME and a few consoles. If you just want MAME, you can set it up into a very simple mode that only displays that. It may be a bit overkill for your needs, but might be worth a look.

Details please?
I'm the author of romlister, and whenever I hear it is falling short of expectations, I'd like to know why so I can improve it.
If this is too boring for outsiders to view, we can go offline into PM-land if you'd like.
