Kawaks and fba gui buttons

[bogard81]

I would like to change the gui buttons from this emulators.Maybe in the future there will be a chance for me?It bothers me.I want to have the same buttons on all emulators:mame,kawaks,fba

[Gryph]

Well...chaning the GUI takes a lot of coding talent. I've never seen anyone change the GUI in these emulators. I don't know why it's such a big deal to you, just get used to it. What buttons do you want?

[bogard81]

The ones mame has by default.Almost.Mame is cool because you can change all the buttons.Maybe the guys who write the other emulators will add this option in the future

You'd be better off asking the actual developers, but don't count on them being too interested in your "proposal".

[Gryph]

Well MAME has several frontends and is an open source emulator. It's also a lot more well known than Kawaks, FBA, or Nebula hence the attention it gets.

[Agozer]

FBA is also open source to my knowledge, so if you have l33t coding skills, you can change the buttons yourself.

 

What buttons are we talking about here anyway? Hotkeys or what?

[Gryph]

Yeah, FBA is open source too but I haven't seen any front ends for it or any GUI manipulations. Maybe IQ or James might know something.

Does one actually need a frontend for it when it already has a GUI? People don't change the GUIs because just "changing the buttons" isn't really the priority when someone compiles a custom build. Besides, why fix something if it isn't broke?

[Inky]

my question is why use fba or kawaks when you are already using Mame?

[Wizard]

MAME has 3 input frame delay, that's why it now sucks!

[Inky]

so then the question becomes... why use fba and kawaks? they are both pretty equal aren't they? I dunno I haven't used either in quite some time.
