The upcoming History.dat 1.48 will covers not only MAME but also MESS and UME 0.148.
A beta version is now downloadable => http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download
For now, only SVN builds of QMC2 supports the new version of the file. Available here: http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=12
How to use it in QMC2-MAME/MESS/UME:
Unpack the History.dat file in the ./qmc2/data/cat/ directory.

Information submissions: All entries are editables directly at arcade-history.com. I'm now adding a maximum of entries from MESS (Machines AND Softwares). The History.dat is extracted from the online database.
Information for frontend authors:
The main format don't change, MAME & MESS machine information are stored under $info=romname,romname1,romname2,
The MESS software lists are stored in $softwarelistname=romname,romname1,romname2, (I.E. : $nes=rockman3,)
