The name only separated with the second .exe from your site.  If that helps anything.

Hmmm ok then it could be something to do with me re-writing the header making it behave differently....

Just to be sure, if you set the display option to "Message Remains Stationary" in the drop down list, does it still split the game name?

Sorry missed this before.

Yes the controls.Dat project does not cover all games. It covers a lot - around 2500 of the more popular titles (including clones). Leaves around 1/3 of mame games unsupported, and there is another 15% or so that are unplayable anyway.

Would it be preferable to have an option to not add control info if it is not available?

Silver:
Update on Mamewah:

The most recent beta of Mamewah allows you to use an external file to display LCD text. This should allow you to display anything you like while choosing a game.

Place a file called emuname.lcd in your lcd dir, e.g. mame.lcd. This will be displayed when in mamewah (ie after you exit a game).

I've attached a sample that should work on betabrites. Rename mame.txt to mame.lcd. Note you can edit any normal game.lcd file but remember to use an editor that won't mess up the control characters...

Yes. 

And I'll email the mpegs to you.  I don't think I'll be able to do it tonight though.  Tomorrow is the best bet.
