Has anyone tried this yet? It's been existing since some versions now, and it doesn't show the loading screen, nor the nagging screen, where you have to type OK or move left/right, plus it adds high score support, meaning that it doesn't reset highscores after playing and exiting games.

I just tried it, works fine.

No, never tried this, but will definitely give it a try as the nag screens are annoying.

Btw, there's also the MAMEUI version of this available. You can grab it at UG, it's only 20MB and downloads in seconds.

It is sad to see that MAMEUI's development has ceased. They have stopped all support for 32bit versions, but are still currently making maintenance released for each new version of MAME.

It looks like we might have to find an alternative soon.

But there's many other GUI ports of MAME available, none of them I've tested though.

Btw, v147 now supports 26353 games, without CHDs.
