can xmame be set to work as the frontend?

I'd love to do the frontend, but I don't have the time.

If anyone is interested in doing it, uktube is really easy to convert to work for that. (just modify it to list all .gb files instead of .flv files and make the view video button to execute the aforementioned command instead of mplayer command. Then just modify the texts, drop unnecessary buttons and that's it. Should take no more than few hours if even that.

is gambatte running in full speed? (or close to)?

Oh, and please make it so that dpad center doesn't do anything. Believe me n810 dpad middle is best served as a non-action button.
