Big Blue (2015/08/06) is released. Big Blue is a frontend for any command line program (MAME or any game) that works on any setup. You can use it with an arcade cabinet with a 15khz arcade monitor or a desktop computer with a 3840x2160 monitor.

What's unique about this frontend is that the frontend itself is a video game. Player 1 and 2 can fight each other to determine who gets to select the game.

Features:
* FREE! Source code available on request; let me know if you find problems or want to make improvements
* Fully playable mini-game built into the frontend; George and R9-A fight each other for control over the game selection
* Supports any program that you can run from the command line; if you can run it from the command line, you can launch it from Big Blue
* Easy and simple game list configuration that won't have to be changed continually with each new version of an emulator
* Runs at any resolution or aspect ratio (320x240 all the way up to 3840x2160 have been tested)
* Theme that changes depending on the time of day
* Pixel shader effects
* Full sound and music
* Built-in screensaver with a configurable timer

Big Blue Changelog::
- Instead of abruptly looping, when videos end, they fade out to the snapshot image
- Video fade in/fade out times have been slightly adjusted and normalized
- Video audio now fades in and out with the video
- Game list navigation logic has changed pretty significantly; you can now "page" backward even when you're on the first item, and you can "page" forward when you're on the last item
- Paging has been normalized; it's now always going to take you to first game that's off the screen
- Updated USB ids
