Whats with the midgets hulkster? Should we be worried?! ;)
Well you can filter by catver's categories. I could to some extent add no. players using mame -listinfo, and in future controls.dat - will probably do that when I next alter the LST format, not next release tho...

Since SpamMe has shown how this can be done without me actually do anything, I I'll skip this one :D
I know everyone wants to be able to merge emulators/lists, but it is quite a biggie. Well not so much a biggie on it's own, but I need to change the LST format to do it, and I have some other changes to make so it makes sense to do it all together...ie it will become a biggie...
papaschtroumpf: you could somewhat achieve this parental control by using the 'Select Custom Lists to Cycle' option and the menu lock: just select the 'kids' ones to cycle, disabling the others. Then lock the menu when the kids are there (so they have to use the next list button), and when you're there you can unlock the menu and select the list you want there.
You could do similar to emulators by limiting the 'No. Emulators to Display'.
MrBond:
A highscore type search feature (like )p('s 3d-arcade or HC's dragon king) would be cool as well. ie, hit a key, enter a few letters like you would your initials when you get a highscore, then hit the key again and it goes to the first game with these letters.
Minwah:
Any preference on default previous/next emulator/list keys?
Brad:
I'd love to be able to boot into my arcade cab and have Mamewah startup with a System menu screen. Say for example with the following:
1 - Mame Arcade
2 - Sega Genesis
3 - SNES
4 - Jukebox
5 - Exit (Shutdown)
This are slectable via arcade controls and when sleced will load your appropriate lists etc. The real good part about this is when you escape from a particular system it boots you back to said menu system!
This menu would also be skinnale just like every other Mamewah list. If anyone already has a way to do this I'd really appreciate it.
