Frontend with "Favorites" option?
« on: January 19, 2007, 05:55:20 pm »
I like MAME32, but am looking frontend that would also let me use an Atari 2600 emulator, etc.

The reason I like 32 is because it simply lets you click on a game and add it to favorites.  MALA doesn't seem to do that (barring running all your favs once, then switching over to the MOST PLAYED list) but that's the only one I've tried so far.   :dunno

Any free frontends out there that are allow you to quickly build a list of favorites?

TIA

GameEx does.  When you select a game, you get various options such as:

Play
Add to favorites (or remove from favorites if it's already there)
More info

Just noticed you said FREE so I am sure someone will point out the nag screen.  Fair 'nuff.   ;D

..Just to clarify... You can easily do this with MaLa 'on the fly'

1) Create a new game list 'options-gamelists-new' and call it 'favorites'
2) When in your main game selection list right click on the screen and select 'add game to list' (see attached pic)
..................

Alternatively  use malagamelist.exe supplied with the package to edit all your game lists

GameEx has a fantastic favorites list.  Very Easy to add and remove games from your list. It also has the ability to display the last 5 games played within an emu list for quick access.  With the built in Setup Wizard. Things couldn't be easier.
