New Version Of The Mame Frontend MAME Plus GUI

A Mame frontend from one of the Mame Plus coders, let’s see what he had to say about it:

I’ve been rewriting the GUI for MAME since February, although some features are still missing, it is time for a public preview. the new GUI is a pure front-end, with similar functionality and interface as MAMEUI.
• * if you are using official MAME, any features related to console games do not apply

[Starting]
extract to official MAME or MAME Plus! folder. mamepguix.exe should stay in the same directory as mame.exe/mamep.exe
Dockable GUI components
click and hold the title bar of any component, the component may be stacked, tabbed or closed.

[Game List]
display arcade and console games in a unified game list, the following is a list of nes, gbcolor, genesis and arcade versions of ‘Double Dragon’

[Path Settings]
open “Options - Global” tab, select “Directory” on the left to set paths. multiple directories should be separated with ‘;’ e.g. d:\mame\snap;d:\mame\snap2
set console ROM paths in “MESS Software Directory” section, then go to the “Console” folder and press F5 to refresh.

[ROM Auditing]
MUCH faster than MAMEUI, usually takes less than 30 seconds to complete all games
auditing for arcade and console games are separated, depends on which Console folder are you in.

[Options]
the Options dialog is completely different from MAMEUI. introduced the concept of option inheriting in a intuitive way. there are 5 levels of options: Global, Source, BIOS, Clone of and Current Game, from highest priority to lowest respectively.
• *an option that is different from default value displays in a yellow background
• *an option that is different from inherited value displays a bold font
• *you must press Enter or move to another item to submit the changes to an option
• *a button is available on the right of option editor to reset to inherited value
