I am trying to determine the best Front End to use for my Arcade machine. I want to have a little bit of every thing on it.
I breifly messed with GameEx. Setup a basic mala interface, and now i am playing with mamewah. The problem that i am having is lists.
what i want to do is have this thing very organized. so it will be easy to drill down to what you are looking to play.
Right now all i have is a giant list (6000+) mame games in a list, and a convaluded way to get to a genesis list with another rediculouse list of games (not to mention i still need to setup snes, nes n64... ect)
what i want to be able to do is something like this
The front end comes up. gives you a menu to start
EX:
Mame
Genesis,
SNES
ECT.
From that list you can select any thing you want. for this example we will use MAME
MAME
--- Fighting
Racing
Shooting
USA
JAP
ECT
I dont mind if some of the list have dupes, but my goal is for people to be able to find games as easy as possible
What would be the best FE to do this, how can i make and manage the lists easly (i know using catver.ini (i think) it can do some sorting. but ill be dammed if i can figure it out)
I at this point i dont really have a preference of one fe over another.
For Emulators, what i would like to do is make a list of games in a specific folder IE
In my Genesis roms folder. there is a folder labled USA, JAP, World. Ect
