Been a while - good front-end and cheats? (Windows 11)

Hello

It has been a long time since I have used MAME.

What are some good front-ends to use? And Cheat files are still around?

I am using Windows 11. So a Windows 10 one probably will work as well.

Thanks

MAME itself has a pretty capable front-end currently baked in - so you may want to try that first. If not, here is a link to some suggested ones.

Cheats are still out there, no new package for the last couple years but still valid with current MAME.

Enjoy MAME!

How "good" is Launchbox that I keep hearing about? It a more all system kind of front end?

Not tried MAME in a long time.

Should install it and see what I might be missing.
