Working on a front end

(1/4) > >>

Oils:
Being a programmer and learning Direct 3D I thought i'd give a try at creating a front end for mame. I've decided to base it on a vista media center look, although you wont require media center to run it. It'll be full screen, skinnable via configuration files and requires a D3D card, .net framework 2.0 and windows to run. I've decided to do this purely for fun but will release it free to the community when its done. Hopefully finding games should be very quick as the interface is very fast.







I'll keep you all updated.

Looks interesting. I'm looking forward to it.   I would love an easy to configure/setup (i.e. windows  interface with checkboxes, selection sets, etc.) interface when run looks cool and is also easy to use...

BamBam:
Excellent!  I am looking forward to taking it out for a spin.
The ability to have a search function is always a nice feature ;)

Good start oils! Looks pretty good. I'm looking forward to a release. I see you're relatively new to the boards. I'm sure you'll have a legion of testers waiting to help you out with this one! Will this be for VGA monitor use only, or are you looking to allow lower resolutions for arcade monitors?

If you're targeting arcade monitor users, I for one would definitely be interested in playtesting for you (if my low-end machine will run it). Hit me up with a PM when you're at a point where you can use another set of eyes! Is this in C#? VB.NET? I'm a developer too - I think my system would be a good test of the low end of the spectrum - Athlon 750MHz, 192M RAM, Win98SE.

Good luck!
