MAME Frontend using pygame

Frontside

MAME Frontend in pygame.

You've caught this right at the start. Not a lot here right now. Check back later.

You'll need pygame, sqlite, Python > 2.6 and maybe some other stuff, haven't collated the dependencies yet.

Oh, and a copy of MAME somewhere. Default config file is frontside.ini.

It does bootstrap, there are command line and config options, there is a database. Some UI elements appearing, yay!

usage: frontside.py [-h] [-l LOG_FILE]
                    [-L {debug,info,warning,critical,error}] [-C CONFIG_FILE]
                    [-d DATABASE_PATH] [-t THEME] [-p PROFILE] [-v]
