Maximus Arcade (MA) is PC based software that allows for seamless interaction with multiple arcade and console emulators while keeping the Windows environment hidden. Although best suited for use in arcade cabinets, it can be configured for use in a kiosk or simply running on a computer with a keyboard, trackball, or gamepad.

It's easy to setup and it doesn't require any additional framework to function. The download contains both the frontend and the skin editor.

The demo works for 30 days and then a registration code is required.
