While Maximus Arcade won’t configure all your emulator’s settings for you, it is pre-configured with line commands to automatically launch your chosen game in its respective emulator. Maximus is a combination of a slick and simplistic interface that is also highly configurable. On the surface Maximus Arcade seems to be a very simple piece of software, but if you have ever dealt with any other front-ends, you can appreciate the hard work the developers have put into it. While I played around with some other pieces of software (known as front-ends), I settled on Maximus Arcade as perfect solution for my needs. Having it look slick while doing all this would also be a bonus.
It is easy enough to find and install arcade and console emulators for Windows, but the real challenge is finding a way to start up the emulators and navigate the different systems and game with only a remote and/or a wireless gamepad. Just recently, I found the time to complete the digital entertainment package by adding full emulation support to this wonderful machine. Since then, my wife and I have been enjoying having out media library available at out fingertips instead of having to deal with discs and such. A number of months ago, I bought a salvaged Dell desktop PC from my place of employment for $150, added a huge hard drive and a cheap graphics card to it and turned it into a Windows Media Center PC for my living room. I’ve also had this same goal for my other digital entertainment such as my music, movies, and TV shows.
