Only to clarify, before disappearing again for the happiness of all the ass-kissers and sycophants here and before SmittDogg closes the thread to give to the community the impression they "won" the diatribe... 1) MAMEUIFX is dead only for real life personal reasons 2) Converting the old code to MAME C++14 standards has never been a problem, instead was part of the fun. And easy. 3) FX GUI code is not hacked or at least it isn't until using MAME core functions to retrieve game informations, build the game list and so on is an hack. If so, you should say then that also MAME core is an hack.... I never used QMC2 so I cannot speak for it. I only heard a lot of rumours that it isn't "user-frienldy". On the contrary I continue to read from people that never used MAMEUI(FX) inaccuracies and lies. Long live to MAME. Logging off...
