New version of the front end (http://www.bryantrecording.com/gomame.htm) for MAME for Windows.

Changelog:


GoMAME Features
- Provides "Filters" to limit the broad range of visible games. For example, Favorite games can be marked, and the list of favorites can be imported/exported for sharing, or filtered to just list your favorites.
- Automatic "Mature" filter, with password (based on info from catver file) to take mature games off the list
- Numerous "Nanny" options to control access to options, settings, even in-game MAME configure key
- Supports NPlayers.ini, controls.ini, history.dat, and mameinfo.dat
- "Recommended games" (from mameinfo.dat) can be used as a filter
- Manages Global ini and Per Game ini files
- Drag-n-drop column ordering & Resizing
- Show/Hide/Reposition Snaps & History
- Right-click on Column Titles to hide/unhide columns
- Search for games based on just about any field
- Use "Status" columns to control visibility of games
- Auto-hide of columns filtered out
- Multiple rom Directories

GoMAME will focus on finding ways to organize and filter the number of games to make MAME a bit more manageable. Soon up will be the ability to create custom, user-defined filters.

Minor changes in MAME's ini files to bring this up to 117. Current MAME is 125, but most settings were moved into the core with 117u2, so I've split the update. Added a splitter bar to control the width or height of the screenshot/history section and made the screenshots fit the space rather than the other way around.
