What features do you wish were available for your "Dream FE"?
CM:
Any FE's do a smooth snap/marquee animation like CoverFlow?

I don't speak Flash or Actionscript myself, but from a moment's googling it seems it can handle launching external applications via EXEC, and would certainly assist those looking for animated everything. No idea how you'd go with LED support etc, but I don't run LED stuff myself so I'm happy without.

Actually I did make one once, never could get it to work right though, flash can be finiky about opening up external programs correctly.

Just looked up CoverFlow - very slick! I think Ultrastyle used to do something similar, but is not being updated anymore and stopped working with Mame around version .84. The only problem I have with a layout like that is that with a huge amount of games, it would be difficult to page through to find the game you wanted.
But... Coupled with a search feature, perhaps not so bad. Hmmm....

How about a fe that writes itself so none of us have to add any of this crap? ;D
