Yes, yes. I know, you hate using the command line. I’ve already received email requests for a “front end” to my port of xmame to MacOS X, and I haven’t even mentioned it other than to three OS X using friends!

Sadly, most “front ends” utilities are not open source, or tied to third-party GUI widgets that only work under X11. I certainly don’t expect most people to be running X11 on their mac; that’s why I ported it to a native SDL interface in the first place, well, other than speed concerns, that is. ;)

Anyhow, I found a primitive GUI written in Java, and have wrapped it for MacOS X, and with a bit of tweaking, it works beautifully with my xmame port. No hackery required! You’ll find it on my software page.
