mGalaxy v2.0, the frontend for MAME, was released this week.  mGalaxy is known for being great for navigating with arcade panels and game pads (although keyboards work fine as well). We’ve found it to be particularly nice for a media center – the graphics are smooth and easy to read, and control is great via a game pad and remote. The new version features a complete rewrite that’s faster than the original and includes lots of new features. Check it out below.

Changlog:

• Totally rewritten application. Speed gains everywhere.
• No need anymore for an external database file. mGalaxy creates it directly from any new Mame version. (On new Mame version, delete the "old" 'mame.exe' AND 'xmlout.xml' files. Place the "new" 'mame.exe' in the folder. The new 'xmlout.xml' file will be generated on mGalaxy's first run)
• You now can hide categories of games from the main list (i.e: mature, bios, electromechanical, quiz, …)
• The full game name is now displayed in the bottom left corner.
• 'Menu' window is now interactive. Changes made inside it are reflected in real-time.
• 'Search' window is now interactive. Changes made inside it are reflected in real-time.
• No more black stripes on 16/9 screens. The background image now fills the whole monitor.
• Cosmetic changes…even nicer than before
