I mean no offense, but are you sure making MAMEUI not match MAME in the terms of the files it distributes is the best decision?
There's many users out there who still don't understand the project history and still think of MAMEUI as "the Windows version of MAME", despite it being something like 15 years where that has not been true. (They mean "a more native Windows UI", I guess, but these are the sort of users who wouldn't understand what a UI is.) And they'll continue to do so, unless the MAMEUI project changes its name or something.
Therefore it would make more sense from a user point of view that MAMEUI basically distribute everything MAME bundles and no more.
I would counterargue that it might be better to, at least temporarily, submit a pull request to upstream (MAME) adding the OpenGL shaders (with appropriate accreditation and licensing for the shaders that you did not create yourself) and see if it could pass review and be accepted.
Or you could make OpenGL shaders an optional add-on download from the MAMEUI website. There's plenty of solutions!
(At any rate, it's all sort-of a moot point, as eventually this will likely all be rewritten, perhaps years from now.)
