It works fine for me with the view options I use.

It doesn't work for me. First I renamed mameinfo.dat and the history.dat files that I already had. I downloaded the latest history.dat. Open MAMEUI and punch down the list of all games. Some show history, some don't. For example 1941 showed nothing.
Now close MAMEUI, edit history.dat by removing the dashes in these two lines..
## to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work
## to Remix — to adapt the work
..now reopen MAMEUI. History is now displayed for 1941 and others that had it missing.

Weird, I don't have anything missing. I don't have to remove those lines to see history for 1941.

Skip down through the first 10-20 games and see if any are missing. If so look for an entry in history.dat. I'll bet it has one.

Nope, they're all there.
It's probably a buffering issue or something when you have many ROMs. I only have 415.
Of course I have all the PCBs right here.

I don't know why it's happening. It happened to another guy who posted on the MAMEUI forum too. mameinfo.dat works OK. I narrowed the problem down to those dashes by deleting half of the file at a time until it worked. I wonder if it has to do with a font or language issue. What languages are installed on your PC? More than English?
EDIT:
OK, I renamed the roms folder and mameinfo.dat so MAMEUI wouldn't find them. I reopened MAMEUI and did an audit. It seems like everything shows up from history.dat. I renamed the roms folder and mameinfo.dat back and did another audit. It now seems to be working. Maybe not after a reboot though? Weird stuff.
