what's happening. any error messages ? what version of Daphne emulator do you have ? I tested it with latest build.
you know you need to select "daphne.exe" and not daphneloader, right ?
are you creating the list manually at main menu "File" or using the auto-detect at EL's startup ?

well, this should not prevent EL from creating the games list.
scanning ROMs sets and running games is another story.
I created a list of games using official v0.141u3 without any errors. but I only have like 60 games there... not much.

Created a game list, all roms present here...
Just this message that popup for each axxxxx (a2600, a2500..) set, nes and snes, gamegearn etc.. (systems, not bios) from mameplus:
Devices for games are not supported, only for bios sets.
Atari 2600 (NTSC) [name: a2600]
nearly 50 times the same message, with ok... a check box "ok for all" could be nice 
Except that, just tried the new icon manager, working perfectly.
Not sure i'll use the "swap icon" feature, at least not sure it should be present in main "MAMu_" menu list, perhaps should be more a button inside the manager list to avoid users doing bad renaming...
Regards, MAMu_

Oh, and 2 small display bugs in tile view mode, haven't checked the others view mode... :
Around all windows that have XP icons format (i guess) as 1on1gov (only XP), repulse (256+XP), there's a white rather than blue square around the icons when selected (and even unselected, can be seen if you change the bkground list color) in gamelist
When selecting ALL icons that have white color in them (see the non working icons as exemple, 5acespkr, bowl3d), the white in icon is replaced by the blue color.

this is what you wanted ? 
about the "Switch Game Icons". this is for games that have icon, not for the icons manager.
you select two games and click on this option...
let me check those device entries in MAME Plus! and I'll get back to you.
EL does not have support for MAME Plus!. I didn't know you were using it.

Perfect, well I wouldn't have choose that style of bckground...
but nice, at least now it's sure there are no more display bug with my icons
Thx, MAMu_
PS: if there is an option to choose the bkground image, perhaps an option to have it fixed, or "moveable" (I mean, if you move up or down the gamelist, the bkground is fixed in Emuloader, doesn't move at all and always start 0,0, or move at the same speed than the list with the icons...)
By the way, for a future release, I already did a few test for my idea :
(Europe) (France) (Japan) (USA) (Italy) (World) (Asian) still missing a few...
(Set 1) to (Set 9)
(bootleg) not definitive... I'll try to do as much as possible...

the background is fixed, it doesn't move when scrolling the games list... and it is tiled, if you enabled this setting at preferences screen (enabled by default).
moving the background image along with the scrolling would be a nightmare and buggy as hell.
I chose that background on purpose (3in1semi.png) 
Nice flags. What size they will be ?
Now the One Million Dollars question: those flags will be added in a 48x48 icon made by you, or you thought about Emu Loader overlaying them on top of the regular icons dynamically ?
here's how EL load icons when in tiles view mode... and the "Disable Icon Stretch" is checked):
1. load MAMu_ icon into a 32x32 icon container (no support for 16x16 or 48x48 sizes, unless you want this to be implemented!)
2. create a 48x48 bitmap
3. paint the entire bitmap's background with the icon's transparent color (to remove that ugly white frame)
4. paint the 32x32 icon centered into the 48x48 bitmap
5. show it in the games list
in all other view modes, the icons are loaded directly without any processing...
I could implement the above for "Large Icons" view mode as well (it shows 32x32 icons on screen). that would increase the CPU cycles to load the icons though.
in the mean time, I will do some testing here to see if I can crack this "add overlay icon into an existing bitmap already containing an icon" without breaking anything thingy...

While you're (probably?) working on another quick release, could you disable mouse scrollwheel smoothscroll in the mameinfo/history editbox? It causes scrolling to become slow and lags behind the scrollwheel.
Also, though not really an issue, could you add a checkbox or hidden setting in the .ini to disable 'font becomes bold when on selected game' in the gamelist?

about the bold text in selected game, sure. I can add a option to disable this...
for mameinfo window. there is no smoothmouse setting anymore. I don't know why this happens. I cannot control it and cannot fix this bug 
it works fine for me on Windows XP but it lags like crazy on Windows 7

Mmmmh guess Auto with emuloader ! Good luck with that, hope it's possible, sort of shortcut arrow, or a 48x48 (red) overlay icon over original (blue) one decayed up left 2px :
