If I could only blend the way mamewah handles videos with everything mala does I would be in video game heaven right now.

!!!! I thought it did. I was about to try Mala, but video screensaver is a major part of the "attraction" of my cab when it's idle. if I can't do that maybe I should reconsider. I also learned earlier today that AtomicFE doesn't do it.
Easy and intuitive list filtering would be nice.
compatibility between version configs should be a must (I'm looking at you mamewah)
support for controls.dat (or integration with johnny5, cpviewer)
compatibility with old versions of MAME (I'm still running a custom build of 0.82 I think, I'm worried some day FEs won't work with it)
per-game options (overrides defaults), this is especially important for PC games, which are a big part of my cab
proper handling of focus "weirdness" when launching PC apps or emulators.

Don't worry Mala will be handling the video files correctly very soon, swindus is making some changes so that loadman can make a plugin to handle them correctly. Believe me with all of the work that I have put into emumovies it is very important to me as well, and these guys are all over it.
As far as per game options I think mala needs a little work on that as well, I am running lots of pc games, but I still have some work to do as far as per game stuff. If there is anything needed, which I think there might be I will let those guys no about it. From my experience the Mala team is pretty quick to add features as the need arises. With the support of Led-wiz and LCD panels already quickly implimented, I have put my vote in the Mala camp lately.

Shall we call this the 'EMUMOVIES' Screen saver ?

Not that I deserve it, but absolutely! ;D
