That said, MAME frontends have been written for Windows with Visual Basic, (Visual) Delphi, etc. But Dot Net is probably the way to go these days for quick development. (Look Arbee, I'm a convert)

And of course with Mono, it's become an option for Linux.

That said, given infinite amounts of time, I still feel native C/C++ is better on Win32...
