Easy Select MAME Interface

Post by raigon50 »

A while back I downloaded a trial version of a program that made selecting MAME roms easy to do in an arcade cabinet. Basically, it redesigned MAME to look like one of the SEGA SMASH PACK games. I can't remember what it was called and I was also wondering if there is a freeware version of the same kind of thing? I'm gonna start saving up my $20 allowance to buy material for an arcade cab. It's gonna take awhile, but I'm gonna do it dammit!

MALA is free and quite popular.

On the MS-DOS side, there was the ArcadeOS frontend to contend with. It is still in use on those older generic multi-game Gamebox PCB setups though.

I've downloaded GameEx, and it works great, not to mention it looks really nice and is easily customizable.

My favorite as well. I only suggested MALA because it's totally free.
