QMC2 v0.57 is compiled. QMC2 is a good GUI for MAME & MESS. QMC2(M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II) is the successor of one of the first XMAME/MESS GUI frontends available, QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only). QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor. The new design was made as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 uses a template-based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).

QMC2 v0.57 Changelog:
- fix: qchdman: corrected the size adjustment of the about dialog to make the credits text fit
- fix: arcade mode setup: hide the category filter when neither catver.ini nor category.ini are used
- fix: system web-search: corrected the handling of ‘&’ in the generated URL
- fix: collection rebuilder: corrected dump mapping for cases where only the SHA-1 is unique
- fix: collection rebuilder: the missing dumps viewer wasn’t updated correctly under certain circumstances
- fix: corrected style sheet handling in order to allow for overwriting fonts through style sheets — see also bug tracker ID #120
- fix: ROMAlyzer / check-sum scanner: when rows are removed from the database during incremental scan preparation, their keys also need to be removed from the (life) hash cache
- imp: updated category.ini contributed by ASH to MAME 0.167
- imp: help menu: added QMC2 homepage link (opened in the default browser)
- imp: welcome dialog: provide a history of previously selected emulator binaries to choose from (on -r)
- imp: notes-templates: prepend doc($xmlDocument) when an XML query misses this variable binding completely (qmc2NEO.queryLocalXml())
- imp: removed the restriction of not allowing the machine list to be sorted while a ROM check is running
- imp: added “System / BIOS” as a constant category to the arcade mode setup dialog in order to allow for filtering of BIOS sets even if neither catver.ini nor category.ini contain this category
- imp: updated the alternative system-notes template contributed by José Marcio Rezende Franco
- imp: ROMAlyzer / check-sum scanner: greatly improved the performance of incremental scan preparation (3rd step) in worst case scenarios (most/all files have been updated, or touched)
- imp: slightly improved startup performance (UI initialization)
- imp: emulator configuration templates updated to MAME 0.167 (added new vector game options ‘beam_intensity_weight’, ‘beam_width_max’ and ‘beam_width_min’, removed ‘beam’ and adopted all changes to HLSL options)
- new: added an option to enable/disable the loading animation
- new: software-lists: added display of software compatibility and requirements
- new: arcade mode setup: added filtering by machine rank
- new: collection rebuilder: added a ‘hash cache’ option to speed up database lookups during rebuilds
- new: collection rebuilder: added a dry run mode which is good for a quick “what if” check and/or for rapidly creating a fix.dat file
- inf: the QMC2 homepage has been moved to http://qmc2.batcom-it.net/
