Front End review blog

I'm starting a blog as I review front ends.

SpamMe:
How about enabling comments for the reviews? As frontends change, users might be able to mention when features are added, bugs fixed etc. Kind of a Wiki thing.

SirPoonga:
They should be enabled, hence my last sentance.

Also why I plan on adding FE version when I review.

it's entirely blank for me  ???

--- Quote from: SirPoonga ---A rating of 5 stars or Most Excelent if the frontend can be completely controlled by a standard JAMMA setup and control mappings are configurable. JAMMA setup is two players, each having an 8way joystick and 3 buttons along with a coin and start button.
A rating of 4 stars or Not Too Shabby if the frontend if game selection can be done completely with JAMMA and control mappings configurable. Frontends with ratings might need keyboard and mouse to setup the FE, change settings, general maintainence.

You might want to differentiate a bit more between 4 & 5. Imagine a frontend that achieves 5 but has no "locked" mode. One of your friend's kids is bound to screw up all your settings by hitting too many of the keys on your control panel.

So for example:
MAMEWAH 1.5+: 4
MAMEWAH 1.02-: 5

But which is better? Minwah decided, and I agree, that very little configuration should be available via the frontend - or you'll end up with a screwed up front end real quick.
