Hi! It's been a while since I've stuck my nose into these boards.  I miss all of ya! I just picked up a shiny new MacBook Pro, along with Parallels and Vista. So, I figured I'd come here for recommendations, since only other Mac people know what kind of software a Mac person is looking for. What Windows MAME front-end do you recommend? And what other Windows emulators are the good ones, which ones do you recommend I use? It seems like all the work these days is being done on the Windows versions of emulators, so it's time for me to switch.

MAME OS X already offers more features than MacMAME ever did, runs great on Intel (and still fine on PPC) all in a user-friendly package, although it is sometimes a few versions behind base-line. To keep on the bleeding edge, RB updates SDLMAME usually within 24 hours of a new release and runs equally well. After starting SDLMAME from the command line (this could be done with a simple AppleScript wrapper), you can use the built-in front end of MAME for basic features. PS: maybe time for an update to MacMAME OS X documentation?
