Hey Swindus, a couple of questions/feature requests:
* The distinct inputs for each rotation type is great. If I move a joystick on one side of the cocktail, will it rotate over to that side?
* Can you change the default list after rotating to a new orientation (ie, if I switch to the left vertical orientation, can I specify it to autoload a "LeftVertFavorites" list?)
* I'd love to see a FE that allowed me identify my favoirte version of games that have multiple clones (defaulting to the primary version) and only show those favorite versions rather than showing just originals or all clones...
* I'd like to be able to optionally hide the "(...)" part of the game description...
just some thoughts...

Hi millercentral, some nice thoughts.
Will see what can be done.

One way to achieve for a this is to edit the mame.xml file (as I have done) You use an xml editor such as XML Markerhttp://symbolclick.com/
That way when you refresh the list it will only show the Games you have roms for but won't show every version of the game that you don't want.
It is probably only worth doing for short list of games as it involves a bit of editing. But it was worth it!!!
EG:
In my case I only want about 85 games and I didn't want the clone of every game coming up on my list, but in some cases I did want the clone and not the main version. To achieve this I effectively corrupted the rom names in the xml file that I did not want to appear by putting a ZZ after it. Then I modified the description of the games that I did want to appear to be cleaner if necessary (Eg

Hi Swindus. First off, thanks for putting all the time and effort into the front end. I am almost done building a cocktail cabinet and I really like what you did with it.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can you navigate the list using a mouse? I have trackballs on both the short and long side of the cocktail and that would be nice.
2. I also would be interested in having the screen 'auto rotate' to the correct side of the cocktail table based on the last arcade control input detected.
3. I really liked Game Launcher's ability to put lightly transparant full size screen shots behind the game list. I see that you can build a layout to do this, but is there any way to control the 'transparancy' so it doesn't make the game list text hard to read? I tried the transparent check box and that didn't help. Game Launcher had a 0-100% setting I think to adjust.
Thanks!
