And you can look at the mame32 generated mame32.ini in the ini folder and see the 1's & 0's.

One thing that maybe happening is that the mame32.ini file is in the ini folder; mame defaults to the mame folder, and FEs might expect mame32 to do the same. Try copying that file into the mame(32) folder, or create a file in the mame folder, mame.ini, that has one line: "inipath ini". I'm not sure either will help mame32, nor work with all FEs, though. However, if you do either, you can set up with mame32, and then run mame with the exact same options.

thanks for the tips guys! not sure if the ini thing is whats wrong with my ultrastyle. what happens is the first time i start it (after turning the PC on) when i try and play a game the whole thing freezes. i then have to alt-ctrl-del . then if i open ultrastyle again it works! i dont expect the answer here as it couldnt be answered on the ultrastyle forum, thats why i was looking for another front end. ultrastyle looks great, but i cant be installing alt-ctrl-del buttons on my next CP!
Youki, ill have a look at atomic tonight. thanks.
edit: ha! atomic works just fine! and the animated background is cool. so long as theres no big issues running on win98 thats whats going onto my cocktail cab next time i get a chance (",)
thanks youki!

Try GameEX. I found it very easy to set up and I am using it with mame32 and having no probs.
The only drawback is its limited skinability. However, the default schemes don't feel like Windows.
Howard_Casto:
The reason mame32 doesn't work with a lot of front ends (or I should say doesn't work well) is that often the front end calls for list genertion, and mame32 doesn't always support the same command line tags that mame does.
My advice is to avoid mame32 like the plague. Aside from the obvious reasons, other emulators don't give you a nice gui to set settings so you might as well learn how to edit ini files now.

Screenshots resemble Windows MC quite a bit...
