'''Frontends''' are programs that allow a user to execute an emulator program, usually a command-line one, using a graphical interface. Examples of such are shown below. | '''Frontends''' are programs that allow a user to execute an emulator program, usually a command-line one, using a graphical interface.

− | + | Note: "Frontend" can be a somewhat confusing term since it is sometimes used to refer to an emulator's internal frontend that handles video, audio, and input interaction with the user and OS, while this page refers to the "Launcher" or "Executor" kind of "frontend". | |
− | + | ==ePSXeCutor== | |
− | + | ePSXeCutor is a configuration utility for the ePSXe emulator (and maybe for PCSX-R too?) this comes in handy if you are juggling with many psx games and plugin configurations and want specific settings for each individual game and an easy way to swap between settings. It also allows for easy memory card and savestate managing. Latest version is [http://www.pbernert.com/epsxecutor1063-prerelease.zip ePSXeCutor 1.0.6.3]. | |
− | == | + | ==HyperSpin== |
− | + | HyperSpin is a frontend for several emulators, however the focus tends to be for arcade emulators (e.g. MAME). Officially suggested emulators available for HyperSpin include MAME, [[MESS]], [[Nestopia]] and [[ZSNES]]. For general use, though, do not use ZSNES; see [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES]] for more information on better emulators. Latest version is [http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/downloads.php HyperSpin 1.0]. | |

− | + | [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/413403/index.html RoM-Jacket] is toolkit for people new to emulation and advanced users alike. Emulator settings are presented in simple to use wizards for over 80 unique systems and 7 HTPC frontends can be automatically configured. | |
− | + | RoM-Jacket is designed to allow users to create a library that localizes emulator configuration preferences, joystick layouts and artwork assets to the ROM. Each game maintains its integrity independently while it executes in its exclusive environment. Latest version is [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/413403/index.html v0.98b]. | |
