> Well, if you're interested in *arcade* gaming.
I think you're mixing up vanilla GameEX with GameEX Evolution. They're two different beasts entirely.
Evo has a MAME Selection menu where any user can copy over software list profiles that they want to show up in their setup. Once that's done then all the user needs to do is tell Evo where their MAME folder and ROMs/CHDs are located then off they go. The games simply show up in the game listing and they work.
Evo actually handles pcecd better than QMC2 does. With Evo you don't need to TAB into File Manager, insert the correct cart, then use a soft reset. With Evo, you pick a game and it launches correctly.
For people that utilize Pleasuredome's one-stop shop especially for MAME ROMs or SL CHDs, it makes the most sense to use Evo with MAME and you'll have games running with only the machines you want listed in your setup in a matter of minutes.
If someone favors RetroArch i'm fairly certain that the majority of cores don't support CHD so it's an absolute nightmare to have to manually unzip crap when dealing with many different optical systems. I'm unsure how people actually go about it. I'd rather just use MAME
Now of course Evo doesn't have the capability yet of using MAME to install exotic Operating systems or insert 20 different cards or slots into a machine, but perhaps someday Tom & Team can improve those aspects and slot them in their appropriate SL profiles.
