MAMELOAD TNG is a Win32 application (future versions might be available for
DOS and/or Linux). Originally created as "MAMELOAD" in 1997 when DOS was the
primary MAME build source, the project was recently resurrected after 6 years
- now on the Windows platform. It focuses on being a fast starting and simplistic
interface allowing great deal of control over command-line triggers (supports
back to the first Windows MAME release - 0.37b15).

This front-end also supports many other popular emulators including: MESS,
SuperModel, PinMAME, HazeMD, MameComplete/Ultimate MAME, MetalMAME, M1, FBA and
many more!

'''5)''' About Discontinued Frontends (no DEV in the Other Features list):

Just because a frontend is discontinued does not mean that it is a bad frontend.
Either there is no more need to update it, or the author just left the project.
Discontinued frontends are still used in cabinets today, and most run on both older and newer machines, though some may have some issues with newer versions of MAME.
So check these out as well.

*'''MR''' - Multiple Resolutions
*'''ST''' - Skin tool included
*'''SW''' - Skinnable without tool
*'''VID''' - Video snapshots (movies)
*'''TOU''' - Touchscreen Support

'''5)''' About Discontinued Frontends (no DEV in the Other Features list):

Just because a frontend is discontinued does not mean that it is a bad frontend.
Either there is no more need to update it, or the author just left the project.
Discontinued frontends are still used in cabinets today, and most run on both older and newer machines, though some may have some issues with newer versions of MAME.
So check these out as well.

[[Image:mltngexample.png|thumb|Sample ML TNG Screenshot|320px|right]]
MAMELOAD TNG is a Win32 application (future versions might be available for
DOS and/or Linux). Originally created as "MAMELOAD" in 1997 when DOS was the
primary MAME build source, the project was recently resurrected after 6 years
- now on the Windows platform. It focuses on being a fast starting and simplistic
interface allowing great deal of control over command-line triggers (supports
back to the first Windows MAME release - 0.37b15).

Front-Ends

2008-06-02T01:59:54Z

Tafoid: /* Front-end Software */

A '''front-end''' is a menu system that allows players to select from a list of games. Once a game is selected from the list, the game is launched using an appropriate emulator. Here is a list of the various emulators and a brief description of each. If needed, further information will be found on the individual page for that emulator.

Many front-ends make use of a collection of [[Screens, Titles & Extras|screenshots, photos of cabinet and scans of flyers]]. These additional files can add extra information on the history or appearance of the original arcade cabinet or console game.
