QuickPlay v4.5.0

QuickPlay v4.5.0 is released. QuickPlay is a powerful universal emulator frontend, which has support for countless emulators and systems. QuickPlay is written in Delphi 2006 and is released under a BSD license which means its free AND you can take the source code and do whatever you want with it, as long as you leave our names in it somewhere.

* MAME Tool
- add MameTool nodejs command line 64-bit binary (first attempt to move the backend away from Delphi)

- reads all MAME 'ini' files to better-filter MAME games and add metadata like number of players
- allow creation of subfolder collections: e.g.: split a MAME set's Romdatas by Genre folders
- users can filter games by often-excluded properties e.g.: clones
- or, users can load a MAME File Manager file into QuickPlay and filter by that
- create customised MAME Romdata sets for MAME itself or for (full) RetroArch MAME
