Sorry, for my mistake, but if you go on the GAMEEX web site, there is a big comparison table where GAMEEX is compared only with MEdia Centers software.  (home theatre sofware).

Hey it's cool, I really don't mind other's recommending other FE's, but I get a little agitated when GameEx gets "pigeon holed" as being a Media Center application when it is not.

GameEx was originally intended as an MCE addon, but it ended up being as much a stand-alone FE. I guess Tom hasn't bothered updating to compare with other FE's because the wiki already does that.

But GameEx was a Front End (albeit for MCE) first before it was HTPC software (AFAIK). GameEx stands for Game Extender, names after an "MCE Extender". So it's origin is there, but it's moved away to be a standalone FE as well.

Incidently the HTPC features are written for non-MCE users like cab users because if you had an MCE machine I can't imagine why you would want to use those features in GameEx. So I consider the HTPC stuff as a bonus to have on a cab, not a negative. And having an arcade related theme like I do, it's still well hidden from the MCE or Windows look.

Havok:
I think the main reason most people write off GameEx as a MCE app is the default skin. Some people don't take the time to look at other skins, and that's the first impression. You've got a great front end, so don't sweat it!

psst...

(Don't let Headkaze or Tom hear me say this, but there are a buttload of themes for AtomicFE)

 ;D

Well, it's pretty obvious youki and havok are dark about the poll results ;)

Hey havok, don't drink the coolaid if youki does! (Ring a bell?) :D
