Nah, the issue I had reported didn't originate here.
There's definitely something iffy about the MAMEUI distribution that's on the site at the moment tho.
The easiest test case I had for reproducing the issue reported to me was using it as a commandline app.
I ran 'mameui64 pacman -hlsl' in a folder extracted with the distribution on the MAMEUI site and HLSL wasn't functional.
I copied the mameui64.exe into an actual 0.202 folder with 0.202 resources, ran 'mameui64 pacman -hlsl' again and in that folder it worked fine.
So there's definitely something different between the folders. I didn't go as far as investigating what, but there must be something.
I told the guy reporting that it was failing from the GUI to do the same, and he said that resolved his issue and that HLSL worked fine. He said he hadn't had this issue with prior releases (only the other issues that I mentioned) so it seems something isn't quite right with the 0.202 release? I'm not overly familiar with MAMEUI, but I do like to at least stay on top of these things so that when people report them I can give them an easy fix.
