The actual MAME program is starting to become a hassle.

I've been trying to decide on a version / front end etc. There seems to be no good option.

Initially I loved mAME32 but there seems to be little updating and it doesn't support some favourites (like super off-road)

Tried the DOS version in Windows with many front ends - most not very good. The 2 promising one's have dissappointed - MAME Launcher nags for money and disables features, and is a little cheesy.

Arcade@Home is apperently not updated much if ever, the msg board is hostile, and making your own game list files is incredibly tedious.

Was excited about Optimame and dual spinner support - but apparently it is defunct too.

Am currently trying Unofficial MAMELang32 - we'll see.

Don't even get me started on ROM management etc.

I know it's all free and excellent but the initial amazement and adoration has turned to utter frustration.

What's everyone else do??
