If we're talking MAMEUI here then I'm not even sure the MAMEUI you get from the MAMEUI site is shipping with the proper files given that if you run it from the commandline with -hlsl you get no hlsl. Dropping the MAMEUI provided into a proper official 0.202 folder works fine.
Which doesn't surprise me at all at this point, there seems to be something seriously wrong with every single MAMEUI release recently. People really need to start using proper MAME and a frontend instead of that garbage. The people maintaining MAMEUI are incompetent at best.
The correct support files are essential, no site should be carrying 'just an exe' as an actual release distribution, likewise packaging with outdated support files will cause just as many issues.
