| Arcade@Home | Download | 0.37b | 07/07/01 | Win9x | A good MAME frontend with support for pictures for all games, graphical interface for configuring every MAME option, help for each game directly from MAME's readme.txt, individual settings can be configured for each game, it loads faster than MAME/W, it also has 4 special default settings: "Fastest", "Best", "Vector" and "Factory Default". The "Vector" default turns on flicker and boosts gamma for more accurate play. It shows all games, both installed and uninstalled, detects games and updates when a new version of MAME is released, an alternate MAME version can be specified to run certain games. So in other words: This is a VERY feature cluttered MAME frontend, try it! |
