Ok, here is what I really want in a front end. I want to be able to switch to different categories to look at games like: Sports, Racing, Puzzle, etc... BUT also Sports Baseball, Sports Football... etc... AND Trackball, Spinner, 8-way, 4-way, 1 player, 2 player, 4 player... etc...
In order to have a front end with all these various categories it needs to have some sort of list file instead of actually physically moving all of the roms. This way Roms can occupy more than one category such as Sports which includes all sport games and then the subcategories. Are there any front ends capable of this and that can sort the roms for me? I'm thinking of using PartyOn cuz you can do this, but the trouble is it looks like I'll have to add each individual rom to each list.
Can some people help me out? It's funny that in the examples people go to such lengths to describe their cab but never mention the software setup of it.
