Atomic FE is a Front-End for Multi-emulators.

It’s been made mainly to be used with MAME arcade games. Furthermore, it would be possible to utilize Atomic FE with any other emulator as a result of small configuration efforts. Eventually, Atomic FE can be used to launch any application, as well as simply as a menu control!

This front end is optimized for MAME and its derivatives (ADVMAME, FASTMAME, etc...).

The main objective of Atomic FE is to function within a real arcade cabinet, and to be driven using joysticks as well as the buttons. In other words, it can work perfectly well with a keyboard or arcade controls.

AFE makes set up much easier due to it's use of plug and play modules. Once AFE is installed, you can install a module for MAME, or Lasers, or a whole range of other emu modules. For basic usability, you can just click the installer and it puts the emulator where it needs to be. All you need to do is add legaly obtained ROMs and play.


If you wish to go beyound the basics (which most of us do) this front end is completely configurable: it supports all resolutions, all graphic cards (including ArcadeVGA), and is capable of functioning with the majority of emulators that accept command lines. It has a very powerful layout editor that supports alpha blending, video backgrounds, video snapshots,auto animation of objects through scrolling (In any direction) and trajectory mapping.

AFE now has support for Groovy Game Gear's LEDWiz and GPWiz products. This means that there is now a good solution for users of both 49way joys as well as LEDWiz. Even at it's infancy the LED controls are rich in ability.
