Quote: I mean, this whole discussion started because nobody wants to give MAME a decent frontend, user friendly and intuitive. Instead, several small groups or individuals wants to be bigger than MAME itself and write their names on their personal projects. This is one thing I really don't get.
I created Emu Loader for my personal use... for my needs. I never looked for recognition or fame. But since other people started to use it, I had to make changes and sacrifice my ideas. Otherwise, Emu Loader would be so much different than what it is today.
My frontend is a decent piece of code. It has its bugs but all in all, it works where it counts. I programmed it to make it as painless and possible.
It's a four steps setup: 1. select a MAME executable 2. optional: change the basic settings if necessary (ROMs path, snap path) 3. wait for the games list to be created and ROMs validated 4. select games and play...
