What is your complete software setup?
« on: April 29, 2008, 12:46:30 am »
So, assuming you have a nice disc full of roms; where do you go from there?  I know there are different opinions, but would like to gather what people like from the frontend throughout every emulator used.

You might want to start with the BYOAC Wiki   ;)

Many users have compiled some good data on there already

Yeah, I've checked those out...I was curious what individual preferences were out there, though.  Appreciate the link, nonetheless.  :cheers:

In that case I recommend the Project Announcement section

 http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,10.0.html

What you 'appear to ask seems extremely vast and varied .. Possibly you could narrow down/ split up the question?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Introducing The Tone Ledger, a premium 5x7 inch, 100 pg notebook designed for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists...pretty much anyone who enjoys using amps and pedals. Great for experienced musicians, hobbyists, or students just getting started.

Keep Track of Your Tones and Experiment Worry-Free
