Would it be possible to make MAMEUI even more user friendly by changing some small dialog window properties?

I'm thinking of:

- putting the dialog windows in "Options" menu to the center of the screen. It's easier if all windows appear in the center of the screen.

Also the "properties",  "properties for drivername.cpp" and "add to custom folder" windows if you right click a game.

And finally "View" -> "Custom filters" and  "View" -> "Customize fields" windows.

I don't know if MAMEUI uses Win32 API or MFC but Google AI gave this example implementation for Win32 API and it seems very easy.

https://ibb.co/14Gy3mL

https://ibb.co/Tq13WpMC

- making the "add to custom folder" window (right click a game) much bigger when it's displayed (or certainly resizable by the user, if this is possible) since it's way too small to work with INI files with long file names and a lot of filter groups inside and can't be resized by the user. See screenshot

https://ibb.co/PvrkW1Hk

- adding a messagebox that appears after clicking "delete game settings" and "reset play stats" (right click a game): "game settings of game X deleted" and "play stats of game X reset". Right now there is no feedback to the user and this is a bit weird.

Thanks in advance!

Would it be possible to add a feature in the "Show Folders" menu (when right clicking the treeview at the left), called "User folders" with a checkbox (just like all other items in the menu). It can be enable/disabled to show/hide.

This is the menu:

https://ibb.co/FLfxrHqT

This feature shows or hides all INI files the user has copied to "folders" folder of MAMEUI. So it just runs the existing code to displays all the INI files and shows or hides it in the treeview, depending on the checkbox.

This would give me 2 advantages over the current version:

1. I can hide all INI files without having to remove them from my "folders" folder and close/open MAMEUI again
2. I can quickly test new INI files I made and see if they are loaded in MAMEUI without closing/opening the program each time (since the new feature just runs the INI file reading code when you enable it)

Thanks for thinking about this!

Is there a way to hide the mouse cursor when using a lightgun game or touchscreen game ?

I always have the crosshair AND the mouse pointer in the game and in 2 differents places, both doesn't move at the same speed of course.

In some old mames it was possible (mame 200), but now (i use mameui 282), i searched on the ".ini" and in internet, i don't find any solution.

Thank you in advance.

References to "SW Files" have been changed to "Loose SW", which is the more commonly known name.

I was wondering if this was possible, using a joystick to move around in the UI (not in games, that works just fine). The only thing I can do is start a game by pressing one the buttons on my joystick, but I can't -for the life of me- figure out how to move up/down on the list with my joystick.

I've tried playing around with the values here:

ui_joy_down    1,1,1,2
ui_joy_end    0,0,0,0
ui_joy_exec    0,0,0,0
ui_joy_history_down    2,0,1,0
ui_joy_history_up    2,0,4,0
ui_joy_home    0,0,0,0
ui_joy_left    1,1,2,1
ui_joy_pgdwn    2,1,2,2
ui_joy_pgup    2,1,2,1
ui_joy_right    1,1,2,2
ui_joy_ss_change    2,0,3,0
ui_joy_start    1,0,1,0
ui_joy_up    1,1,1,1

but nothing works, as I really don't know what each number means...

I remember asking this several years ago at mameworld forums, but I didn't get anywhere either...

any help would be very appreciated

regards!

I want to compile HBMAME (command line version) for Linux and macOS and distribute it on a new website i'm making.

However, I don't know if you added windows specific code to the command line version of HBMAME so it won't compile on UNIX?

https://hbmame.1emulation.com/

There is a big file called mameui.sym included with MAMEUI. What is this file for? If I delete it, everything seems to work.

Would you be interested in adding a search textbox for the SW Items ? It would be a VERY useful feature.

Right now, there is no way to search the SW Items, while there can be thousands of them.

You can just add a new search textbox in the SW Items tab and clone the existing behavior of the search textbox for the machines list and apply it to the SW Items list's textbox.

Note: For those people who prefer to compile their own build, the changed source is not included in the download, because it was incomplete more often than not. You need to "pull to the tag" from Github. See the above site for the location of the Github repository.

Would it be possible to add either add one of the 2 clone features?

• a feature to select the clone color for the game list
• if this is not possible: a feature to set parents to bold font and clones to normal font (both using the same font you choose in options -> system list font)

Thanks in advance
