A long time since the last "gamezone" built is over and it does not looks like, that gamezone will be adapted to NPVR.

A HTPC is the ideal consoleplatform for playing arcadegames and stuff. So, what shall we do?

We have four options left:
1. We drop the fun of any console emulation. :eek:
2. We're using the "programs plugin" offered for NPVR. But this one doesn't work right on my systems (no arguments will be used).
3. We add every emulator separately as custom task. This isn't funny and the steering is... :mad:
4. We're just using an external frontend for our emulators!

I have decided to use the "emuControlCenter". This is a very nice frontend, which has a clear look, is good structured, has a wide preconfigured support for different emulators. And best of all: It can be steered simple with a gamepad! No need to play around with keyboard/mice for starting any emulators/games.

for use with NPVR I think I'd rather use Programs (and if it's not working right then we should help McBainUK fix it), however I also have an arcade cabinet that needs a better front-end that can launch multiple emulators (currently just using MAMEUI and exiting back to Windows when I want to play pinball or use some other emulator - ugly!). So I'll certainly give emuControlCenter a look.

MAME is well known and very compatible, but... i never liked this emulator. ^^ It's a piece of "i can do all! (but nothing right)" so that i trust on special emulators for different systems. I can remember another mame frondend too, something called GameEx, which in the meantime tries to be a htpc frontend too (i dislike this one).

Btw., McBainUK has a lot of other interesting plugins (like WebCams ^^). Programs is for me not really important (plugin submenu & custom task can do the same).
