Alrighty, I've been out of the emulation scene for a bit however I know how they work, and how to configure and about roms and thinks of that nature.
However, my friend has an old Dell PC, which we want to make strictly into an emulation machine. What we plan on doing is hooking the PC up to his television (His TV has a VGA port so it's no issue) And putting the sound through his stereo receiver (already done, so sound works ok)
However, what I'm looking for to take it to the next level is a nice frontend, that launches as soon as the machine does.
So in a perfect world what we would love is, boot the machine, it takes you right to the frontend, with a wireless mouse, or possibly media center remote, you then seelct console, and then game, and bam it opens right up in said emulator and your off and running.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for software that would be good for this, it can either be Windows based (any flavor) would be awesome, however if it's a Linux based app, I can go that way to.
Thanks so much!
