good point!.  Totally agree.

While there is no real standard for Emulator development. At least for their interface, it is impossible to do something really generic and easy to configure.  If you concentrate on only one emulator you can. But in the case of dozen of emulators... it is very hard to keep simple.

Somebody should create an Emulator Framework , with interface normalizations. It would be very usefull for FE coders.

For once we agree on something.  The standard is already there really, namely mame, it's switches and it's naming conventions.  Raine and mess already conform to this standard, but other emulator developers are reluctant to adopt it for fear that they might not seem original.  ;)

version numbering isn't a standard...... In the case of mame, it is annoying, but this is a moot point considering all over emulators would be on different versions and version numbering has little or nothing to do with how to launch/configure an emulator.

I agree but I doubt emulators will ever be created to the same 'standard'.  Playing games on arcade cabinets is most emulator developers last concern (if a concern at all), and really why should it be any different.
