Romcenter is a ROM manager, to manage collections of games supported by an emulator.

Its purpose is to give you the ability to:

View all games supported by an emulator plus all the games you have in your collection for it
Fix missing or bad-named games and ROMs in your collection (this will be analyzed later on), so they can be playable by the emulator.

Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.

HyperSpin is a frontend that can launch other programs and emulators from one menu. Without a frontend, you'd have to individually launch each emulator as needed, then find and launch the games you want to play. HyperSpin simplifies this by using a system of menus to launch your emulators and games.

HyperSpin uses real arcade controls to provide simple menu navigation in your arcade cabinet and hides your normal Windows desktop, providing a more authentic arcade experience. HyperSpin can turn your arcade cabinet into a fully functional media center; you can have a jukebox or movie center built right into the same multi-game machine.

Hyperspin can be easy to setup. However, some find it a bit challenging at first. There are numerous text and video tutorials available to answer all of your questions and get you started right away.
