MAMEWAH is a Windows-based frontend for MAME. This latest update contains most bug fixes, though the list is long:

Bugs Fixed:

LCD Display feature did not work
Mouse & joystick navigation sensisitivity slightly different for each direction on axis
OP_MENU_BACK input occasionally stopped working
Emulator-specific music would start after switching emulator even if enable_music 0
Preview movie for selected game would not play after list generation
Runtime Error 445 would occur if movie clip had no audio
Problem would occur when using DAT files with quotes around certain values
Longest_played lists wouldn't work
Selected game changed after refreshing games list
MAMEWAH would appear to hang when launching MAME for the first time on some systems
Using WinIPAC feature may have resulted in strange results
Screen-saver form specific shortcut inputs would not work
Music track related shortcut inputs would not work on options / screen-saver form
In slideshow screen-saver, the first image to be displayed wasn't displayed long enough
Screen-saver sometimes kicked in too soon after generating list
File access problem causes crash (Windows 98)

Improvements:

Improved emulator launching so that powering PC down will cleanly quit emulator and MAMEWAH
PC emulator_executable no longer case sensitive
Added 'PROGRAM ERROR!' notification when an error occurs
All input devices are now released prior to launching emulators/apps/scr screensavers, and re-acquired on return to avoid potential input problems
Removed controls.dat viewer specific support
Added ability to launch up to 3 external applications, either by shortcut (input) or automatically prior to emulator launch
