[QUOTE="FloatingFatMan, post: 7262047, member: 387340"] Well, I don't use front ends so I didn't bother replying, but I'm happy to offer my 35 years of professional programming and UI design experience if you like. ;) Your most important customer is the user. These days, people expect software to not only look good, but it has to just work too, with minimal setting up. If your software is remotely difficult to use or configure, they just won't bother with it. You need to give them the choice of where they want to put games. You need to not force any kind of directory structure on them at all or they won't use it. If you want to offer cover art features, then your best option is to make a best guess based on the folder name, and offer user settable properties per game so they can refine things to locate the correct art. You also need to make sure your front end is as light as possible on system resources because, as we all well know, emulators are complete resource hogs. Do not limit them on the number of game titles displayed, like some front ends do. Instead, give them a scrollable list with infinite entries. Allow them to set their cover art size to suit their requirements, give them the option to have game metadata displayed, or not, as they wish. Also, do not force full screen or a specific window size for your front end. Users are notoriously fickle and no two will want the same thing, so give them choice. [/QUOTE]
