These frontends have not been tested by Mednafen Team, so use them at your own risk!

Hey ... just wanna let you know that emuexec and kdeaddons-emulation have mednafen included. KDE and Konqueror show up icons and have all menu entrys. Konqueror has a Service-Menu even for the mednafen-server Emuexec has an mednafen-driver So .... configure once - use it everywhere, and if you are lazy, use kemuexec to set up preferences! Just look inside the package and youll see! http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=14115 | ||||

| emuexec seems to think that alsa can be forwarded via /dev/dsp device..... and it won't work via OSS either it seems (Though oss does work via /dev/dsp, just not alsa) | ||||

Haven't tested it yet, but gelide supports many emulators out of the box. Mednafen of course being one of them. http://gelide.sourceforge.net/ | |||||

My own front end works well with Mednafen. I haven't done any development on it for quite some time, but it's meant to be very low frills and "just work." http://home.comcast.net/~plotor/goodfe.html | ||||

Thanks for this list, I've been using Ubuntu and found that Mednafen Front End is the easiest way to go. For Windows I'm happy they have MedGUI which seems to be in version 1.4 despite the download page having only 1.3  This emulator rocks! | ||||

I think this is the proper place to post this, but please correct me if not. I created a frontend launcher script for mednafen called (ever-so-creatively) mednafen.sh. Yes, it's a CLI script acting as a frontend for a CLI program, which I know sounds a little odd, but it adds some nice new functionality not supported natively by mednafen. First, it supports transparent decompression/extraction of the most common formats: gz, bz2, xz, tar (w/ or w/o compression), 7z, rar, and zip. mednafen already does a nice job with decompression support, but this can be used to enhance it so you can use your favorite format if it's something not natively supported. Second, I'm personally a big fan of the BPS patch format, and I wanted to use this for all of my translation patches. Since mednafen only supports IPS patching, though, I'd have to either hard patch my files, or live with IPS, neither of which really appealed to me. So, I added the ability to do on-the-fly patching with BPS to this script, so that if a BPS patch is detected for any given ROM, it'll patch the ROM in a temp location and then launch that patched ROM in mednafen, effectively bringing BPS soft patching to mednafen. It'll also do it's best to verify ROMs, binaries, and arguments every step of the way, failing gracefully if it finds any problems. It'll also pass through most other arguments (except for config-file overrides: haven't figured out a good way to handle those yet) to mupen64plus, so it can be used all the time, regardless of whether your games are compressed or use BPS patches or not. For anyone interested, you can download the scripts from my website: mednafen.sh librom.sh Both parts are needed. The librom.sh script contains all the decompression and patching functions and is called on the backend, whereas mednafen.sh is that frontend script you'd call directly. It's split into two parts like this so I can easily reuse the functionality provided by librom.sh with other emulators. For the curious, I've also written frontends based on librom.sh (so with similar functionality) for ssnes and mupen64plus. Feedback welcome. | |||||

I just uploaded a newer version of mupen64plus.sh:1.1 (10/06/2011): Added support for Super NES, Virtual Boy, Game Gear, Master System, and Genesis/MegaDrive ROMs (ie., new stuff in 0.9.x) Added/fixed support for all possible command line parameters Changed Neo Geo Pocket ROM extension to ngp Available here: mupen64plus.sh Also, two things I forgot to mention in by previous post: 1. This is for Linux, as it's a shell script. 2. If desired, this can be used in conjunction with a GUI frontend (which is what I do with Gelide). This way, you can the benefits of transparant ROM decompression and patching while still being able to launch your games from a GUI. If you want to try this, just point your frontend to mupen64plus.sh rather than the mup64plus binary. This does require that the frontend simply call the binary on the backend, however. It's possible that a frontend may link against the core library directly, in which case this wouldn't be possible. | |||||
