Other than that... A great product... I wish I could see the code you have for the layout designer. I could use it to help me at my job. lol

Minwah,
How about you copy something to the clipboard (or a file) that describe the "state" of the FE? For example a fixed format string like [emulator][Rom name unser the cursor][status] that someone would parse? (Status could be list/launched/...?)
It seems I have seen this type of request more than once and using the clipboard should be easy for you to do rather than messing with files or sockets.

Well I've already done something to add the romname / description to the caption of the main form (window) - I could easily add the emulator name etc. to that - would that be any good here?

Well.. I wrote a little program that looks at the cfg file and based on what emulator is loaded, loads a batch file that makes the proper screen on my lcd panel.
Then it starts mamewah...
When you change the emulator, it then changes the lcd screen.
So when you go to the nintendo emu, the screen shows..
Nintendo
Player 1

Minwah... How does Mamewah use the ipac filename? I am wondering if I can stick an bat file in there to run it?
