LOL...
I actually saw cmdrTaco's arcade machine before I ever got into it myself... I think his is what got me searching around & I finally found this site.

I love his brutal honesty...

JFront is my java based one.... It should work... but I haven't tested it for a few versions...

I'm starting another thread now on it.

Yeah try lemon launcher.  Graphically very similar to Game Launcher, but in some ways it's better.

And in someways lemon launcher sucks.  hint, put it in the same folder as mame.  Otherwise it won't use cfgs and inis already there.  It doesn't temporarily switch to the mame directory to execute mame.

Advmemu works quite nicely, but in Linux & Dos.  Very configurable.
