I agree with Aceldamor - you've had a load of views, people don't tend to reply unless they find something wrong...Also your FE is pretty new, I've been writing mine since 2001, and I'd say it only became popular last year. I don't intend to look at the vertical aspect yet (time), but when I do if the offer is still open I may ask for a look at your code, it would be pretty cool to combine the two. I liked the change of name btw ;)
jcrouse: Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realise it was such a widespread problem.
Buddabing: EndTwist is spot on...I agree about the lack of Linux FE's, I just don't have the knowledge/time to do anything about it :(

Here's something a bit out there...
How about adding the ability to read the controls from a custom file and displaying it to the end user?
So when I scroll through games, I want the ability to see my joystick layout on screen with the definition of what each button does in the game.
People are working on doing this via LCD.. but I think it should be done on screen.
Better yet.. if you give us the ability to expand MAMEWAH ourselves (some programs do this via build in script language or even exporting header files that other tools can use to modfiy and return to the program) the possibilities could be endless.
I know it all sounds technical, but these could be long term projects. :)
As far as short term, the ability to scroll down the emulation list is #1 on my list. (i.e. EMU3 -> EMU2 -> EMU1 -> EMU10)

Sorting your romnames is your job :P ;)

Actually, how hard would it be to code a 'truncate' feature that would not display anything after '[' or '(' for the goodtools format AND the MAME clones naming system
Super Mario Bros 3 (U) (PRG 1).zip ---> Super Mario Bros 3
Asteriods Deluxe (rev 2) ---> Asteriods Deluxe
Possible Minwah? I would greatly appreciate it!

Definitely! If the wheel or trackball can be made to accelerate that would be even sweeter. Kind of the way the ipod wheel accelerates. That way you can sift through thousands of roms with just a few quick movements.

I will eventually be supporting controls.dat, so that controls can be displayed, and filtered on etc. This will be pretty major, and I will need to change the LST format, so will also include some info available from mame -listinfo that isn't there already...
In the meantime it shouldn't be too hard for me to add a shortcut key to launch Howards controls.dat viewer. Or I could have it pop up in between hitting P1 Start and the game being launched.
The previous emulator key is done now ;)
