*** Q & A ***

Q: Why did it take so long?

A: This has been a long time coming and that’s because we’ve spent extra time adding the features you wanted into the next evolution of gaming front ends!

Q: Who created it?

A: This is the most advanced FE ever written by the best in the scene. In development for over 5 years by coders with over 25 years in FE and arcade app development combined!

Q: Why did you create it?

A: This is a creation born out of love and passion for the retro arcade and emulation community. The cost was great but it’s our gift to you and this is only the beginning!

Q: Where is feature X your promo video promised?

A: We have included every feature we promised except for the Theme Editor. It’s still in production. Let us know if you’re interested!

Q: What about native HyperSpin theme rendering?

A: It’s in there we just don’t think it’s that important. We’re not trying to be HyperSpin but we’re fans of the project – hi Bill!

Q: What about RocketLauncher?

A: While we think it’s a pretty cool project we think if you’re paying for a FE like ours it should all be integrated. That’s why our Setup Wizard does everything! No 3rd party tools required!

Q: What’s the future of GameEx Evolution?

A: Very bright! But we need your support and for us to succeed we need your help to get the word out. So don’t just sit there, tell everyone the good news!

Q: I need help or have a question!

A: Great! Please visit our GameEx Evolution Forums
