I was hoping someone could tell me what they believe to be the best
front end for MAME. A lot of the MAME boards i've found are so ugly
and hard to navigate.

Ultrastyle is the best front end.

Just set the preference so that it opens up to your favorites and you
are alls set.

It is attractive, simple and completely hides the windows
environment...

And, best of all...

It is a clone of Ultracade, that snake's frontend.

I've been using Maximus Arcade in my MAME machine for a while now. Very
easy to set up, supports most major emulators for most major systems.
www.maximusarcade.com Free trial for 30 or 60 days, then it's $20 to reg.

I use Linux on my arcade machine, and I found the best front-end to be
advanceMENU. I use it configured to display a large set of marquee
images; it looks great. You just use the joystick to move around the
field of marquee images, and hit a button to start the game you want.

It looks like this:

Simple, elegant.

In case anybody (like myself) didn't know, UltraStyle can be found at
http://www.mameworld.net/ultrastyle/

Another slick-looking interface IMHO is GameEx, found at
