Best mame front end ?

<< < (3/9) > >>

DcMaN:
recently i've been using gameex, it seems to be the easiest to navigate through. However it doesnt want to list all my games, it only shows 3,200 games, where i have about 6,500 roms for mame any one have any ideas why it does that ?

BobA:
Have you got it set not to show clones?   There are many duplicates that are eliminated if clones are not shown.

I decided to go with Mala mainly because of the LED Wiz support. I tried GameEx but recall that you have to purchase it to unlock certain options. Plus I didn't like how many options you have straight off the bat. Seemed it could do way more than start mame games like do stuff with windows. While I assume this can perhaps be turned off, it was mainly that I had to pay to do certain things on it. That and I hated that it had a Windows like theme. I'm sure that was also customizable but I really wanted something that looked more arcade like. Seems pretty powerfull for a frontend though. If you need that kind of thing.

I also tried Mamewah. I liked it in that it had a more arcadey like feel. I tried learning some stuff on it but it really does seem to have a high learning curve. I was going to go with MameWAH since it usually is the most picked frontend. Or so it seems. But since I got the LEDWiz thing, I went with MaLa.

MaLa also has a learning curve but for the most part its the easiest from all the ones I've tried. I'm having some trouble with the LEDWiz thing though. Guess I should try it again.

efjayel,

Theres two plugins for the ledwiz on Mala. I went with the Ledwiz plugion by loadman and edge (or is it edge and loadman ?). Setup was pretty easy and the functionality is excellent.

I was with MAMEwah for about 3 years but recently switched to Mala for the ledwiz support.

Good luck !

PS loadman and edge do offer excellent support on these forums if you get stuck -  as do plenty of other mala users so start another thread if you still have problems.

Mala also has a plugin to send maps automatically to U360s.

Mala scrolls with a held down key for me.  I'm using the latest beta.
