    Default Advice on Mame Frontend for cab needed

    It's been about 2 years since my Mame cabinet bit the dust. The monitor burned out, and the computer I was using was pretty poor anyway.

    Recently, a friend found me a nice big CRT to put in it, and I managed to put together a Frankenstein of a computer that will run Mame quite nicely. Windows XP SP3, I think, if that matters.

    I used Mamewah before, but it appears to be out of date and not a good choice, at this point. I have an X-Arcade 2 player joystick system mounted onto the cab (actually looks good, unlike some of the ones they sell). So I'll need something that is compatible with Windows xp and the arcade sticks I'm using.

    Any suggestions? I'm just a bit out of the loop. I'm hoping to get things up and running soon. Thanks!

    Someone pointed me at MaxArcade recently, but I haven't tried it yet.

    MaxArcade is not coming up for me in Google. Maybe I'm missing something...

    Anything else?

    Dunno if it's still being updated but I've always used GameLauncher.

    I've made four machines with MaLa. Easy to use, and lots of features.
