I’m working on building a MAME cabinet-type project. This is my first endeavour of this type and I am still relatively new to using Ubuntu.

I have an Zotac MAG HD-ND01 (Intel Atom/2gbRAM/160gbhdd) that I’ve installed Lubuntu 14.04 on. My biggest issue is that I’m looking for an emulator front-end that works well with many emulator types and is great with using a USB controller (PS2/PS3 or generic controller). Researching online doesn’t really provide me with the information that Im looking for without all the comments being 5-8 years old.

I plan on putting this Zotac in my entertainment system where the hope is that I could just turn it on, and grab a controller without needing a mouse/keyboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
