MenuMaker for GLaunch by Ken Rager
Welcome Home Arcade Enthusiast!
MenuMaker for GLaunch is a add-on program to be used with GLaunch. It will allow you to build and edit favorites lists from your arcade cabinet's controls. Hooking up your keyboard and mouse to the arcade's computer is not necessary, except the first time you use MenuMaker. If you have a lot of games on your arcade, you can create a favorites list with only the games you play often.

Glaunch
is a real neat program, however I did desire to create game lists that will
allow me to keep my favorite games in a list by themselves,
MenuMaker
for Glaunch is a program that will allow me to do that.
MenuMaker
will let you build your favorites list, add games to it, or take them away from
it.
MenuMaker
can be run from the arcade cabinet’s Player One controls, so your favorites
lists can be created and edited without hooking up the keyboard and mouse.
MenuMaker does require that the keyboard and mouse be connected to set it up the
first time.
Requirements:
MenuMaker
only runs in Windows 98 and up. Currently it has only been tested on WinXP.
Glaunch
must already be configured on your Arcade’s computer to run Mame Games.
You must have mame games (called ROMs) already on your computer.

MenuMaker
, Glaunch, and Mame are all free programs, the games ROMs are not. Please read
the legal statement on the Mame website.
