As far as I know there's no such thing.....
Many FE developers (including myself) concentrate thier efforts on arcade emu support and console emus are an after-thought, if at all. Although many emus support the launching of any emulator, (including mine) most console emus require special care to launch the game straight from the front-end.... Also this is a personal opinion, but I feel that console games, for the most part, have no business on an arcade box. Although arcade ports to a console work great (and for some games we have no choice but to run the console equivilent of it's arcade parent), most of these games aren't designed with an arcade joystick in mind. A few suprise you every now and again though....
For the record my FE is the only one that supports modeler that I know of, and it's only "partial support" at that since I can't get the thing to go to full-screen automatically.
: Windows based is okay, looking for something that frontends Mame, Modeler, C64 emulators, NES, SNES, N64.
