Extra Computer = Arcade

I have an old computer hanging around the house. I want to turn it strictley into an arcade. I wont be doing all the fancy wood work right away but just want to focus on getting all the emulators and such on there, I have a plug to use a playstation controller on the computer, but my question is, are there programs that i can run maybe out of dos, or something that will just start up with a selection of the emulators and all the games? Basically i want to turn the computer on, and it go straight to a menu with playstation Atari, SNES, Nintendo, Sega Gen, N64, etc. then you click on one of those and have the list of games for each.

You'll need to set up all your emulators and roms seperately then once that's done what you are looking for is called a Front-End. Basically a games menu that shows a list of all your games with screenshots with a different background for each system.

Ones to look at include:

Mamewah, Mala, Gamex and Maximus. All multi-emulator front-ends that do what you want them to do.

thanks, ill give them a look.
