I updated the frontend to version 0.3. Now that the loading time of the gamelists is no issue anymore, I have added support to the gamelistformat for all the info from mame's listinfo. The frontend displays this additional information about the games in the info screen.
After a suggestion of Eric I improved the handling of clone games. When there are no screenshots, flyers etc. available the frontend will display the ones from the parent.

Further, I am planning to make two new frontends based on Robotron and Tempest. The frontend based on Robotron will be horizontal oriented for my main pc...or... a future horizontal cabinet...and the Tempest will be great for those nightly vector sessions... ;-)
If you have any ideas, suggestions etc. for these new frontends I would love to here them!!!

Also for an art history research project I am doing I am very interested to hear what in your opinion makes Tempest and/or Robotron such good games and why would you call them a work of 'art'!
You can email me at peter@i-modernist.com ...please do! :-)
thanks, Peter
