Been using MAME the arcade emulator for a while now but i was wondering which is the better version for the frontend.

I am currently using PMame and it does the job but are there any other frontends that beats it in features and the like.

Thanks in advance for any answers I get.

I don't know exactly what you want out of the frontend feature wise but here's a few that I've got saved to my bookmarks.

Mamewah is a very popular frontend that is customisable so that you can launch different emulators including MAME and customise the way it looks

GameEx is a very slick looking frontend which is designed with Media Center in mind. The only downside is that there is a nag screen unless you pay for the registered version. Well worth checking out though:

AtomicFE. I haven't checked this one out myself but it's a multi-emulator frontend:

3D Arcade is the maddest frontend that I know of. You select the game that you want by moving around a virtual arcade:

zophar.net also has a nice list of frontends some of which I have mentioned and others that I personally haven't checked out yet.

Having a look around MaLa looks interesting: http://malafe.net/index.php
and I'll just point you in the general direction of this forum as their info is always useful and an interesting read.

    So true

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
