Title: MAME frontend Post by: bigblue on May 24, 2014, 03:20:46 pm I was watching John's MALA video, and I thought I should share the free frontend that I made. What's unique about this frontend is that the frontend itself is a video game, and the whole interface is very fluid, responsive, and game-like. It has parallax scrolling, pixel shader effects, and tight controls.
Full list of features: * Free; source code is available on request * Works at any resolution (320x240 through 3840x2160 tested) * Works at any refresh rate (60hz - 144hz) * Works in landscape or portrait orientation for horizontal/vertical setups * Fully playable mini-game built into the frontend; George and R9-A fight each other for control over the game selection * Supports any program that you can run from the command line; if you can run it from the command line, you can launch it from Big Blue * Easy and simple game list configuration that won't have to be changed continually with each new version of an emulator * 4:3 letterboxing for widescreen monitors * Theme that changes depending on the time of day * Pixel shader effects * Full sound and music * Built-in screensaver with a configurable timer * Ability to shutdown or restart computer when exiting the frontend * Configurable frontend controls https://sites.google.com/site/bigbluefrontend/ (https://sites.google.com/site/bigbluefrontend/) Here's a shot of it running in someone's Tekken 3 cabinet: (http://i.imgur.com/B43Muvz.jpg) Running in portrait mode: (https://sites.google.com/site/bigbluefrontend/_/rsrc/1400955642578/portraitmode.png) Running in landscape mode: (https://sites.google.com/site/bigbluefrontend/_/rsrc/1399680764874/bigbluenight.png) |
