Description

M.A.M.E./M.E.S.S. Catalog / Launcher II - also referred to as QMC2 - is the successor of one of the first UNIX MAME GUI front ends available on this planet called QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only).

QMamecat was based upon Qt 2; its development was frozen in 2003. QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor, but it's not just a remake. We tried to make the new design as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from front end and CLI related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 now uses a template based emulator configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).

QMC2 is now built with Qt 5, and currently supports MAME on Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows.
