: I am working on a small program that will extend the functionallity of AdvanceMenu some. It is adding category and controller information for all games etc. I will release it to the public as soon as it is finished. Try these colors while you wait, I find them really cool in my cabinet :) : # Colors : # color ITEM FOREGROUND BACKGROUND : # Where FOREGROUND/BACKGROUND can be one of the following: : # black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, brown, lightgray, gray, : # lightblue, lightgreen, lightcyan, lightred, lightmagenta, yellow, white : color help black white : color help_tag red white : color submenu_bar white blue : color submenu_item black white : color submenu_item_select white black : color menu_item black lightgray : color menu_hidden gray lightgray : color menu_tag black lightgray : color menu_item_select yellow red : color menu_hidden_select lightgray red : color menu_tag_select yellow red : color bar white gray : color bar_tag red gray : color bar_hidden black gray : color grid red gray : color backdrop lightgray gray : color icon lightgray gray : color cursor red red : / EmuMannen : : I love ArcadeOS. I was running it for several months since I built my cabinet. Lately, though, I have had a lot of problems with the latest versions handling sound correctly. A lot of other people have had the same problem, so I know it isn't just me. I was tipped off to AdvanceMenu by EmuMannen just earlier this week. I really like it. It has some really cool features. If ArcadeOS doesn't get back to normal soon, I will be completely hooked on AdvanceMenu. : : Good Luck.. : : PS. I am running "pure" DOS too. : : I used to run Windows, and was using MAME32, but you can't beat the "instant off" of DOS, it's speed, etc.. : : : : : I don't know about Windows because I will try to stay in pure DOS as long as possible (simple, compact, quick boot, maximum MAME performance and quick shutdown with my regular cabinet power switch). : : : There are several DOS frontends. The best known is probably ArcadeOS but I just love AdvanceMenu! : : : I have to refere to my previous posting: : : : http://www.arcadecontrols.speedhost.com/wwwboard/messages/12947.html : : : I cant say this enough, AdvanceMenu totally rocks in my cabinet!!! There is no competition if you ask me. If you have an arcade monitor, fixed freq. monitor or a tv, go with AdvanceMame and AdvanceMenu, if you have a multisync monitor go with regular MAME (or AdvanceMame if you want to fiddle with the AdvanceMame configuration) and AdvanceMenu. : : : Sorry if I am getting to exited but I really find AdvanceMenu that magnificent! : : : / EmuMannen : : : : What is the best frontend for MAME? DOS?? Windows?? : : : : Thanks : : : : Eric
