Re: MAME UI that displays more than one graphic? (Snapshots, artwork, marquees etc.)

If I might make a suggestion. What could speed things up quite a bit is pre-caching. The user is generally going to be doing one of four things: arrow down, page down, arrow up, page up. Probably in that order of likelihood. With that being a given, it couldn't hurt to have Emuloader pre-load some of those probable images in advance (at the user's discretion). That way, instead of there being an unavoidable load time whenever the user scrolls on to a new game, said load time is shunted to the otherwise idle moments the user spends perusing the game they just highlighted.

Granted, this isn't much use if the user is scrolling through titles faster than it is possible to actually observe them, but it wouldn't necessarily interfere with such a circumstance either.

It's a remarkable app as it stands. Things like the above are basically just decoration. ;p
