Vas, I just got myself a Mac Mini which I use as a media player. I would also love to use it as some kind of "Mame Console" to play arcade games on my TV, but I do not want to keep a keyboard and mouse connected to it all the time. So here are my feature requests:
- allow frontend navigation with joystick (up/down=previous/next game; left/right=up or down N games, where N can be specified in preferences, or else left/right moves to the next letter in the game list; some button should switch between game list and category browser; some other key should cycle screenshots, flyers etc.)
- when an image in the top-right icon-list is clicked, I get a popup screenshot. If subsequently I double click on another, a different popup should open, instead of replacing the existing one. This way, I can setup the frontend with different images appearing at the same time and changing while I browse
- I have my games on a remote volume, but if I open MacMameX without mounting the volume first, it crashes. An option allowing to automatically mount the remote volume would be nice, or else the possibility to specify an applescript to be launched upon different events, eg frontend startup
- full screen mode (like web browsers do, or something fancy Quartz based, like frontrow)
That's all for now
