Universal/Multiple System Frontends


Name Download Version Last Updated OS Description
Console Menu Download 2.1 5/31/97 DOS Highly configurable front-end for emulators and PC games. Generates lists, runs roms straight from zip files, and more!
Emulator_Runner Download 4.3 4/18/99 Win95 Universal frontend with 'native' support for a fair amount of emulators. It has an easy way to add support for new emulators through .ini files. This emulator also requires a 4 meg zip file with .dlls to be downloaded. Since I'm just on a regular 28.8 I don't have the time to to download this Dll.zip. But I'll put a link to it here.
EmuStation Download 3.0 12/26/99 Win9x Great frontend for just about every emulator!
Emu(X)CC Download 0.31 7/7/98 Win95 A Multi emulator frontend which supports any version of SNES9x, KGEN, NeoRAGE and MAME. This is a good advantage because then the main things in developing will be adding new things to the frontend, and not just adding support for the new commands for each new version of the emulators.

This is the frontend formerly called GameMenu(No, not Jim Pragits), and it's worth to try. This frontend is written in Turbo C++ and is therefore a Real-Mode program, offering the best compability with other programs.
The windows version is just like the DOS version, except it's for windows (:)). You can still use your old DOS files if you add a DOS on the first line and change the old DOS color indexes to RGB values(kinda). Read the readme for more info!
