I have had the mameuifx32 for a while now and I wanted to get the latest and best mame emulators that can run my roms and look more tidy.

Bear in mind there is still a lot I do not know about mame regarding how it works, etc. In other words, I am still very new to this stuff.

I stumbled across this selection of mame emulators and wanted to know which ones are the best and possibly the easiest to use:

Also, I have noticed there is the option to download frontends and MAME ports. Could somebody please explain to me how to use these?

I tried downloading the MAME (regular) 0.133 Win32 command line version but have not had much luck getting the darn thing to work :(

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

It is not about what games I want to play on MAME. I wanted to get a neater looking emulator or frontend that is more user-friendly.

But nevermind, I managed to figure out how to use it :D Thanks for the help anyway.

Emuloader is a pretty awesome frontend! It is pretty easy to use and has a wide range of options for customizing. I like this one a lot. Maybe I will keep it for a while :)
