OK, I will wait for the feedback!
PS. I have already fixed the ALT+F4 issue and I will upload the new version soon (I will notify you)
I have added a new setting to the main "settings.ini" file.
DisableSystemClose = no
Change no to yes and you will be ready to go!

Hey, W7 was giving me fits - I decided that I didn't want to dismantle the cab so I could get internet access to it to get IE10 working so I just reformatted back to XP and put the QT version back on. I'd much rather deal with the little issues of the QT version than deal with the awful issues of W7 32 and how horribly slow it was. I have a legit copy but I think something is wrong with it - the XP64 I'm using leaves it in the dust.
I did some more testing with the sound issue, the sound on the QT version is stuttering when I have the background starfield animation turned on. If I go to the .swf/.gif background (whichever it is) there is no stutter. That one doesn't look as good so I just have the background music off for right now. Startup video works fine. If you're tinkering with the QT might be something to take a look at - of course it might be a system resource issue but I wouldn't think so considering I'm running all the emulators at 60frames with no issues.
I think the issue with the freezing on launch has to do with the build of MAME I'm using and not your FE - I'll trouble shoot that down some more - I need to upgrade that anway so I'll report back when I do that.
If you could update the code for Alt+F4 in the QT version too that would be great ;) Everything else would be super too but the only thing I *need* is the ALT+F4 thing. Thanks man, this FE is really making my cab and I appreciate all your work on it!

The starfield animation effect uses too much CPU power.
If everything is working well with the animated gif background (check CPU power usage), then we can do a walkaround in a future release
Create an animated gif with stars (without the high speed effect). Then create another gif with only the high speed stars. I will add a setting to change the animated background when you selecting a game and you will have the high speed illusion with less CPU power usage
P.S. Yes the setting for disabling the ALT+F4 will be for both versions
edit: Everytime you make a request we make the FE better!

That fix makes sense, doing the two animations and flipping between them. I'll get those built once I start doing the art for my build.
It's a shame that the starfield we're using now is bogging things down. My desktop is slower/less capable than the build in the machine and runs the animation + sounds just fine but that is not on the QT version. I can try the QT version and see if I get both without issue or if there is stuttering there as well. Maybe the vlc plugin is partially to blame?

I have uploaded the new versions (3.1 and 3.1.1)
