Emulator frontend?

[ponder]

Looking for a lightweight multiple system emulator front end.

Any suggestions?

Hyperspin looks good but the listed requirements are to high.

Needs to run on a laptop with 2.8GHz Celeron (Northwood), 640MB of RAM & WinXP.

GameEx looks like it could do the job but would like to hear some recommendations from you guys.

AtomicFE also looks cool.

I recall using MaLa once some time ago - was light on resources. More here:

Thanks, will have a look at it.

Looks like I'm gonna use GameEx as it seems really simple to setup.

Are you planning to use the free or commercial version of GameEx?

Will be testing the commercial version.

Always wondered if it was worth the price. Please let us know if it's any good, tia...

Well what I can tell you so far is that it' very easy to setup. You install it and it does everything for you, it even downloads the emulators you want to use for you. All you have to do is dump the roms in the specified folders.

This is how far I've got. I still want to figure out how to customise the menus to something really minimal but in all honesty I have not even looked at the docs yet.
