www.oscarcontrols.com/dragon/

that's the home of the fe im developing

lilwolf also has a similar java-based fe


emulaxian is also very good

and and don't forget boris' fe

all of these sites should have a link somewhere on this site i beleive


: : argh easy on the ears :)

: : just because you boot into windows dosen't mean you use mame32 with it..... i use regular mame, since the main kernel is now win based. And of course I use my fe to launch games.... It's very easy to make a "locked-down" cab by editing win.ini to boot straight into the front-end of choice..... this way you have the benefits of a windows os, you can still run most of your fav dos front-ends and you have impact and modeler to play with....

: : also there are drivers out there to get an arcade monitor to work in win, although right now it is sometimes easier to set it up in dos.

: : i personally can't stand dos because you have to search for dos versions of everything you want to do in win (mp3 player, sound drivers, ect)

: : i fought kicking and screaming to switch to a win cab, but after i did i wouldn't go back

: :
: : : WHO SAID WIN 98 i HEARD WIN2000 AND MAME RUNS IN DOS SO TO HAVE A CAB THAT DOESNT KEEP SWITCHING TO WINDOWS......MAME32 JUST ISNT THAT SAFE FOR USE FOR ANYONE BESIDES ME WITH MY CAB TO COMPLEX FOR OTHERS AROUND AT PARTYS OR HANGING AND SUCH......SEE WHAT i MEAN....IS THAT ALL YOU USE MAME 32...ITS COOL BUT AS A PERMANANT ui ITS NOT ...
