Do you need a frontend with MAME32

(1/6) > >>

kiddk1:
I plan on using mame32 for my cab and was wondering does it use a frontend?  thanks

Brad:
Mame32 IS mame with and inbuilt frontend. It's also crap for running in a cab.

Mame 32 is cool for running from a pc. And it is easy to set up so it is great for beginers. It is not that great in a cab if you want to hide windows

You can get another Fe's to launch mame 32 (if you want) but the majority of users here would agree that it takes a few more resources and you would be better of with command line mame launched from a fe in a cab (especially if it is an old pc)

kiddk1:
I am new to this and have never run mame from command line, is it complicated?  do I have to type in a command line each time I want to play a different game?

I curently use mame32 on my cab and its fine because I mapped all of my controls so I can get around in windows with a joystick and my button. I donbt have any admin buttons tho so I cant get out of games without the keyboard.  My player1 start button is enter and player 1 button 2 is alt.  I just using this untill I get my frontend worked out.  Its take some getting use to but it works fine.
