Frontend?
gbuckme2:
I too have the same question but I'm looking for something that has MAME, karaoke, and a jukebox. Are there any of these that are an all-in-one? I've built four cabinets 4 years ago, man how times have changed. I used ArcadeOS, these new front ends are alot more advanced since those times.
Gandalf42:
I believe GameEX and AtomicFE have rudimentary jukeboxes built in.. But you may be better off launching an external app such as UncleT's Jukebox, E-Touch, Album Player, or Virtual Music Jukebox.
Cakemeister:
Try them all and make your own informed decision.
The wiki has a listing of frontends. The six most frequently mentioned are (alphabetically) Atomic, GameEx, Hyperspin, MaLa, MAMEwah, and Maximus.

another Vote for MALA..it is very easy to set up, and very easy to customize it. people seem to like gameex, but it looks too much like a windows app. i spent alot of time trying to hide the fact that my cabinet is just a pc..if you are running gamex, there is no point because it is clearly a windows app.
there was a thread in the software forum with a poll for favorite front end

right now, hyperspin is in the lead, with MALA taking second.
hyperspin is pretty cool, but it seemed a little difficult to set up
drventure:
A lot boils down to tastes, too.
Every view of Hyperspin I've seen so far has so much "stuff" flying around onscreen, so fast, it makes my head spin.
If that's cool for you, then it might work.
I was looking for something a LOT more understated.
But I'm guessing you can skin hyperspin too, so maybe it's just that few people do?
