Nice updates. For me, this is the only frontend that works on OS X. I would love to see a full native OS X app, but that's asking a lot I know. Anyway, thanks for the updates  It's really slim pickens on Mac for anything Mame. Nice to have people working on it. One thing that I can't figure out. Is there anyway to move the ini directory and mame.ini file away from the apps directory. I have moved all other folders and files to where I keep my SDL Mame, but can't seem to shake those two. I see the option under the GUI tab for Mame paths, but whenever I edit the ini file entry, it does nothing (currently lists .;ini). Thanks again, Lok

AFAIK there's no appreciable look/feel difference with Qt anyway - they go to some effort to match native on OS X and Vista/Win7.

Right, RB... also, creating a _native_ Mac OS X application would mean to create a _pure_ Mac OS X application, which is not desirable IMHO. Qt makes it easy to build platform _independent_ apps (although you still need to take care of their peculiarities in some areas).

Thank you very much for the new version! Unfortunately the beam width for vector games could still not be set higher than 1.00

I, too, am very happy with the new version, and the new options contained therein, however, it seems that when I try to use the 'Play with Command Line' option, I am dumped out to the front end when starting a game, regardless of altering an option, or not. (Kent - when this option is fixed, it can serve as a temporary workaround for the vector beam width problem.)

Swing is not native, but Qt is. you can hardly tell the difference between Qt app and others on Windows and Linux, by performance or look and feel. yes, it still needs improvement on Mac OS X.

I like this frontend, I have not seen anything better yet (for SDLMAME). Is there a way to sort by MAME version release #? (e.g. .26, .27, etc.)
thanks!
