Media Preview!

Early 2012, Media Preview was introduced to definitively address the situation, offering what's expected from any Windows application: a streamlined and stable application, requiring just a few clicks to be installed and to work on any system configurations. It has been so successful that subsequent versions of Icaros have since completely replicated the software architecture of Media Preview and also included most of the innovative functionalities offered by Media Preview. Negatron is an innovative front-end for MAME http://www.mamedev.org/,
the well known arcade emulator.
