Well first he said frontends on the title and then talk about the UI builds on his posts. He never did said MAME UI's on his title. I thought he were talking about both.
Slim down frontends like MAMEWAH and IV/Play is good enough to me. MAME have it own mame.ini and that all I ever need for the settings. I'm not a fan of MAME with UI build in. UI sometimes stress me out.
By the way. MAMEWAH 1.69 13/09/12 was the last one released from Minwah. Then someone else released another one after that with a small fix that is version 1.70. Still works past Windows XP. Windows 10.1 without an issue. All it take is reg the files into the system and doing some other stuff. Only problem is getting the ROM's list made from the newer MAME through MAMEWAH. MAMEWAH won't make the dat file because of the MAME changes.
I gonna let the guy have the thread back. No more post here from me. Ended here.
