No way to change the font except via Theme Editor but that one I believe is hard coded if I recall correctly.

Awesome! Thanks for the input - Ill mess with it today. I think its Ironic that to make it a cleaner and simpler setup you have to do more complicated amounts of work. too funny! I went as far as to try and use the pinballx frontend - that didn't work how I had hoped as well.

Just a few notes: * While it is correct that you'll need to setup a separate emulator for MAME (i.e. create a custom mapfile), you don't need to disable MAME in Mame settings (or any other configured emulator) if you already have that setup. At least I don't seem to need to do this. When you turn on Fix To Emulator, just pick the number correlating to the emulator you setup for MAME under Emulator Selection. It would be great if Fix To Emulator worked for emulator 0 (MAME) or the Favorites list though. * I think the wheel works in just about any theme. I personally use default-Deep Purple as my theme, but the wheel seems to be selectable in other theme's I've tried including default-default. Just use change views before turning on Fix to Emulator and you should find it. I should note that if you're using video themes as the background video the theme you pick doesn't actually matter much since, you never really see it--the background video and wheel are effectively your theme. * If you like the pop-up descriptions in Arcade, be sure to turn on "Enable Popup Descriptions" under Display Settings. I can't remember whether that is turned on by default or not in standard GameEx.

I admit I'm going a bit out on a limb on the updating every time thing, but in my experience when dealing with the filtering options, game lists, etc., in the MAME config, the update step; or lack of, has appeared to me to have a pretty significant impact. Perhaps this has changed in recent releases, or I'm completely wrong (not an unusual occurrence), but if for instance you go in and remove "Japan" from the filter options and don't update, then how is GameEx aware of the change without a database update? <edit> I hear ya about the remote assistance thing, and it does represent a certain level of trust. You allow a specific individual access for the allotted time to check out your setup. While helping out on testing I allowed Tom, so yeah, I wasn't the least bit worried, but I can see where there would be cause for concern for some, especially when you're new to our community. It does remove the social side of things here, and satisfaction of learning on your own. Honestly I think it's a great tool that has mostly flown under the radar. I've used it to control my GameEx rig from my workstation, and that alone makes it a fantastic plus to me!

Gonna add +1 and say Halo 2. If I recall correctly it is Cortana.
