Quite so, Burseg. Still, good for peeps without gfx cards.
And the author states that future versions will hopefully feature screenmode selection, so I for one will keep an eye on it.Sounds like a neat idea - a bit like MAME launchers. Wonder why nobody thought of it sooner. Should make letting Matt D`Wrecker fire up games on my Amiga when utterly inebriate a whole lot safer, for one thing.  Sorry, Matt!

Is this for WHDLoad games or what?
Looks FAB for creating an Amiga-powered, dedicated arcade cabinet!!!!!!! |

Looks pretty good. I'll be testing it on a CD32 CD I'm burning now.
It has a minor bug though (as far as I can tell): If you have more than one menu item which first letters match (eg: SWIV and Silkworm) the menu will crash. I'm naming them "A) SWIV" and "B) Silkworm" Unlike many of the mame front ends this one supports a joystick/joypad I'm looking forward to an OCS version but I'm not sure how well the scren shots will look in < 256 colours. Can it be done in HAM6 I wonder? |

I think it will work for every executable file available.

The arcade game selector uses shell scripts so theoretically you can write a script to run anything. WHDload games, normal DOS programs, or reboot and run a floppy game.
