Any frontends that support per from/game settings?
« on: December 15, 2005, 05:45:53 pm »
I'm building a mini-itx emulation box and am looking for a frontend that can handle overriding command line options on a per game basis.  Advancemenu doesn't seem to and from what I could tell Mamewah doesn't either.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

MameWah v1.62b9 can.  I plan on using it for some games in an 'arcade' list that uses Mame and Zinc.  Check the mamewah forums for more info.

Sweet thanks.  I didn't have a lot of luck getting mamewah going with layouts I found but this may be a good incentive to invest more time.   :)

What kind of commandline options?

If it is something that can be changed in the mame.ini file then you make a romname.ini file and it will override mame.ini for that game.

This will be mostly for non-mame emulators, atari, apple, c64.  I already have a mame cab for that stuff.    :)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I downloaded the latest Mamewah beta and it works very well.  I had much better luck with the beat than the latest stable for some reason.   I started realizing I needed some oddball features so I started writing my own front end.  It's almost done.  I used pygame which is a really nice gaming toolkit for python.  The frontend doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles visually but it does what I need it to.  If folks are interested I can post a link once it's done (hopefully by the weekend).
