you have to compile a modified version of MAMEUI by yourself. If you don't know what I'm talking about, stop here.

Though you have to modify MAME.LST file removing the huge PINBALL/FRUIT MACHINES section and compile MAMEUI as usual.

... or use a frontend that can filter those games from the list.

Out of curiosity, how do you filter them from the source? Not all of them have the GAME_IS_MECHANICAL flag and the CATLIST.INI afaik is still incomplete.

GameEX filters most everything without the user having to edit anything.

The setup wizard contains many options so the user and customize their list exactly how they want.

my frontend checks for the ismechanical="yes" entry from MAME's -listxml output to filter mechanical games.

fruit machines are read from catver.ini only. that's the only way.

Yeah. you can run it at anytime you wish to change something or to simply review settings you have set already.

There may be some derivative builds of MAME which have all of these games excluded by default

This filter is in the "Misc" filter in tool bar buttons, and change the "Interface Type" filter.
I'm thinking on expanding this filter, replacing the single drop-down box by multiple check boxes.
