I was playing with the idea of adding a screenshots/cabinets/flyers/cpanels/History/marquees thing to Daphne Loader. It would be kind of like in MAME32. I always thought that was really cool, especially if friends are over playing my Mame cab. It's neat to show them the cabinets and marquees and what not. Just a thought. Obviously if I want it bad enough I could do my own front end, but I thought I would give you the idea and see what you thought. If not, cool.

Take it easy

I've thought about doing that sort of thing (a la MAME32) -- it would be great to have pictures of the cab and a description/history of the game.

It could be added to the current VB loader fairly easily, but I've been holding off on making major changes/additions, since there are a couple of efforts underway to make a cross-platform GUI in C/C++. (The VB loader was never really intended to be permanent; we just needed something to help people run Daphne. Of course, any code that works has amazing staying power...)

Rather than adding yet another feature that will need to be ported to the new UI, I hope we will be able to write stuff like that just once when the new UI is further along.

Of course, the VB source is in CVS, so if someone wants to add it... :D

-Warren.

Makes perfect sense to me. Gotta have a foundation before you can build a house.
