  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Can anyone suggest a new front end that isn't too much of a manual effort that supports LED BLINKY and MAME well.
Has anyone dumped MA over that .bat error message and anything else led blinky related? Figure i can ---smurfette--- about MA not working well with LED Blinky or just replace it after 5 years.

I have no idea how long any of these will take me to do.  What is the hardest part of hyperspin and does it have any drawbacks?

Also have some other problems ..ex..it lights the buttons to shut down the computer !!!!  ...wish i never went LED as now i'm so absorbed...and i'm a perfectionist. nice to have the front end buttons light up but they stay on for other systems unless i configure those some how..i'll get to it.

I already have snaps, video snaps, marquees, emumovies subscritpion etc. would love to be able to show cabinet / game box pics  on the select page of the games. Must have a startup video feature,

I have about 360 MAME games
a dozen or so gameboy, Dosbox, PS1 games

All nes, snes, genesis, 32x, master system, game gear, , turbo gfx 16, atari 2600 games,  jukebox, windows media player playlists, windows games (batch), ti/99, c64,
I don't have EVERYTHING so i hope that saves me some time.

windows 7..guess that's it...thanks

  • I have a gaming addiction.....
Dump MA for sure, Its dead and has been a long time.

Its fine for basic or old emu’s but anything else you are asking for trouble.

As for what to replace it with there are lots of choices!

Hyperspin and big box are probably the most common 2.

I have HS on my cab and also run LED blinky which works perfect.

I wont lie its a steep learning curve if you have not used it before, Took me several days all in to get it setup and working properly with my guns etc.

Good news is there are lots of good videos on YT to help and it has a good support community.

Check out simply austen and giga pig on YT.
