You are gonna need to be a little more specific.  First of all, you are not talking about a front end but a mame port, a modified version of mame designed to fit the users need such as running on an xbox or a dreamcast.

As far as I can tell, you are refering to the dreamcast version of mame.  There are going to be very few people on here that use this as most everyone uses a computer to run mame in a cabinet.  Most people hacking up dreamcast use it to run actual dreamcast games such as some good fighters, but they might use mamed as well.

I have used MameD on my Dreamcast (wonderfull console!) few time ago.d

But i don't think i can really help , i received a bunch of cd ready to run and i just played.

i am currently running it on this computer and it works, i just wonder if it's still supported by the creator.

The application hasn't been updated in three years.

The source is included, however, maybe I can get it to compile on Windows, as an exercise. I'd like to see if the author's way of rendering text is signficantly faster than mine.

i found a similar front end called Wah!Cade i guess you guys already know about it but it's new to me, i've installed it but when i try to setup filters and stays there for a very long time.. should i leave it for an hour ?

when i try to run wahcade -w i get this error anyway:

Please Wait. Creating initial filter...

Is there something wrong with Mala or AtomicFE.

Are you really old and afraid of change cause those two are constantly updated and have more features than anything else.

i am looking for a Linux Front End for XMAME.

Those you specified look good but are for windows.

I thought your avatar of tux wielding a machine gun gave that away

There is a Linux forum here.

Using the font rendering code from this front end, I was able to speed up font rendering in my Khameleon front end.

Thanks, Pieter!

War open source!

Speaking of resurrection: I finally got plans for a new arcade, so I updated the code to work with the latest version of SDLMAME and g++. You can find the code at http://phulshof.home.xs4all.nl/mame.html, and feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I intend to do a partial rewrite soon to allow for more skin-ability.
