Least Windows-like front-end?
« on: June 12, 2007, 06:03:44 pm »
I've used MAMEWAH in my cab for 2+ years. While I can't complain about it's functionality, it's a bit too Windows-esque. Sure, I could use a font other than Trebuchet, but the lack of animation takes away from the arcade feel.

Ultrastyle seems like the obvious answer, but that has a crippling bug that prevents the first instance of MAME from launching.

In your experience, which front-ends provide some semblance of the elusive arcade feel?
