GS emulator for frontend?

[douglas_p01862@yahoo.com]

Greetings, all!

I'm an arcade fan who's been working on a standup arcade cabinet with
a lot of console emulators installed, such as MAME.  To provide users
with a simple and convenient way to switch between emulators, I use a
Windows-based frontend called MaLa.  It allows you to use simple
joystick moves to navigate a menu tree, switch from one console
emulator to another, and launch  games.

I'd like to include the Apple IIgs in my cabinet, because it was the
first system I ever owned and I always thought it was a great gaming
machine.  Plus, I think it would rock having Dueltris on a big arcade
monitor for people to go head-to-head...

I've collected all the available Windows emulators out there,
including XGS, XGS DOS, Kegs, Kegs-32, the standalone version of
ActiveGS from the FTA, and two websites which feature the ActiveGS
plugin with extensive game libraries (Virtual Apple and the Apple IIgs
Explorer).

I need some help figuring out which, if any of these emulators or
sites will work the best in my cabinet.

Fullscreen support will help complete the illusion of the system
runnning on the cabinet.

A command line interface will let my frontend send game choices to the
emulator, so the user can launch any game they want from the library.

Joystick support would be helpful.

Good mouse support would also be useful (for instance, is there a way
to launch with the Windows mouse already locked to the Apple's mouse?)

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Many thanks in advance!
