MaLa

From Retro Arcade Guides

What is MaLa?

MaLa is a multi emulator front-end designed for all 32bit Windows operating systems (I have had reports it work fine on 64 bit) . It supports the Windows command line version of MAME with XML ROM info (> 0.84), PC Games and all command line based emulators. You can easily make it run on earlier versions of MAME by using a XML file generated by a later version. MaLa is Freeware!
