yeah, this isn't just mame, nor vid (because you can use it for pins software too like FP) so pardon me for posting it here and feel free to move it if you wish.
Howdy,
FYI, Hyperspin, the next gen front end for your various emulators is almost here, private beta expected August 6th.
Why would I want to use HyperSpin as opposed to Mala, Maximus Arcade, Mamewah, etc?
1 - It's free (as is Mala/Mamewah) 2 - it's got flash akin to a commercial program 3 - it's fairly easy to configure 4 - well, maybe you should just have a look
Looks really good, i'd be interested to try it out once it becomes available

I second that. Hey yeah i can do it i work in computers i just dont have the patience to walk through that. Spescially when you work on computers for a living
I hope it is easy to configure... I gave up on others. I am in no way patient in configuring these programs...
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
The only "problem" I think it will have is part of it's strength. Basically, the reason why the individual entries' look so good is because they are each regarded as their own themes. so the question to ask is: if there is no "theme" for the entry, will the game still show up in the list? I'm not so sure the answer is "yes". They are working hard getting all the themes done for the popular games, and I'm sure what they are trying to do is at least have a marquee type of menu listing for all mame games. The vids show there's a lot of work that's been done for the various consoles and their games too.
We'll find out in a little over a week I guess, I'll be trying it out first night. Creating themes is supposed to be easy (if you have the artistic skills?) and this is a community driven front end, so the more people create themes, the better we all are for it. If someone wants them all (because some people HAVE to have them all ), then it might be better to wait a while for people to create them.
I wonder, with the necessary vids and themes, we're talking maybe 4 gig in size?

Yeah, no doubt. The vids are the ones from emu-movies but they have to be converted to "FLV" format or something like that, which is necessary due to how the front end manipulates the video. I believe emumovies will be hosting these as well.
What do you think of the look of the front end Ethous? I gather after a while, some might feel it's over kill but it does look pretty special imho.

It looks cool could take forever to get to the game you wanna play I find. Makes me think of a visual version of mess. Could be good if you always play same games on the system but i dont see it a fast gui. I would try it but not with 6000 roms in mame and full consoles would take forever

Yeah because that makes for a long list i dont say i use 6000 of the roms i have but i use maybe 100 to 200 type of games i love to play then there testing ect.
That's a good question. One of the vids show they cycle pretty quickly, hopefully there's a way to cycle letter by letter and not just title by title.

Tell you what Loaf... Once I built the SuperMAME, if you program it all for me, your Firepower clearcoat is on me. That would save me a lot of headaches...
