Here's my new little project i'm actually working on...
A Flash MAME (and surely others emulators soon) Frontend... it supports any resolution as it's in Flash and can be stretched to whatever you want, full screen, even if it's actually developped in 1600x1200
It's simply called "MAMu_'s FFE", (Flash Front End), should work on both windows and Mac platform.
I use sed and awk, in a batch file (currently on PC but should be easily converted to a bash file for Mac, to extract game list from mame xml files in various txt files : full list, only mame, only mechs, no clones, etc...)
These txt files are loaded between 1s to 10s for a full list, mechs+mame+clones, depending on their size...
For its options actually you can choose to sort games by zip names or descriptions, i will add soon by years and by manufacturers...
There is actually one screenshot view mode, all loaded dynamicly behind rounded square mask , but I will add more soon... in order to display the ingames, titles and flyers...
To move in the list, it is entirely done with the keyboard, with 3 different speed modes... but of course, you will be able to use your mouse too...
It displays the game name (seems obvious) but also the logo of the manufacturer, all vectorized one by one 
Here's a screenshot of its actual state :
And here's a preview of actual manufacturers logos used in FFE...
Should be released more or less soon...
Regards, MAMu_

It's really great, Mamu_. I'll give it a try.

So what's the purpose of this?

I'm not seeing any obvious hardware applications nor novel features in this. Are there any?

"I'm not seeing any obvious hardware applications nor novel features in this. Are there any? "
Nope, just a new, nice and clean, animated interface for MAME and surely other emulators later...
The purpose of this was only to show and prove (to myself, and others) that it could be done in Flash, and that besides internet animations, which are dying at least with flash, Flash is still a great tool to create animations and animated tools and/or interface...
No need to create something revolutionnary to create something that is just cool and working...
But don't panic Traso, I will not force you to use it....

Don't mind these people MAMu_. It looks great. If you plan to expand the frontend, remember to add features in a slow pace and one at a time. Don't rush it, trust me!
Keep up the good work
Years ago, I used to add everything people asked me into Emu Loader. I added a LOT of useless crap. Most of them are removed now but EL became a unstable and bloated monster... at least that's what I think of my frontend.
EmuCon is different, minimalist. Now that it has computer emulators support, it became a great frontend.
best regards.
