Looking for a WinUAE arcade frontend

BobbyBobBob · 12 November 2009, 16:40

I'm looking for a winuae compatible arcade frontend that can be controlled entirely with a usb competition pro (obviously unless the game needs mouse or keyboard input). I'd like it to run other old consoles too, like snes and n64 - for those I would plug in a normal gamepad.

Really I'm looking for that self-built MAME cabinet experience but without the cabinet and huge arcade controllers! Just a mini pc connected to my tv.

Right now I'm looking at Gameex, Hyperspin or Maximus, but I cant find many amiga users on their forums to see what their experiences are, or information is usually outdated.

If you want the best; Maximus Arcade + WinUAE Loader. WinUAE Loader works as a wrapper for WinUAE which you call from the Maximus Arcade frontend. Looks awesome and it supports video previews etc. Maximus Arcade also supports (almost) every emulator out there, so you can play every console/computer within the frontend.

If you want a demo of how it works, have a look at this vid of my cabinet:

Hyperspin looks good, but you get tired of it after a while. Simply because it's too messy and too much animation/shit on the screen. Takes ages to browse through games.

It's nice to impress friends though.

I cant find any amiga-specific game themes or artwork in the hyperspin downloads section, where did you get yours?
