QMC2 v0.46 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 v0.46 Changelog:
fix: image-checker: corrected obsoleteness check for free-standing image files on Windows — see also bug tracker ID #78
fix: corrected the HTML encoding of links in software-info DB entries so they actually work now
imp: updated MESS category.ini contributed by ASH to MESS GIT/SVN latest
imp: ROMAlyzer / check-sum wizard: temporarily set the ‘searched check-sum hash’ to read-only instead of disabling the widget in order to allow for copying the check-sum while it’s being searched
imp: MAME/MESS/UME emulator templates updated to GIT/SVN latest (added new core options ‘snapbilinear’, ‘drc_log_uml’ and ‘drc_log_native’ to all templates)
imp: Linux / UNIX / Mac OS X: defaulting to SDL2 templates now since SDLMAME/SDLMESS switched to SDL2 as default build target after 0.155
imp: replaced the colored sphere icons showing the ROM status with new images
imp: using QHash instead of QMap for all internal item lookup tables (less dependent on the number of entries, thus faster in the long run)
imp: drastically improved the performance of all game/machine and software-list views by enabling uniformRowHeights which allows for neat optimizations by Qt (improves loading time as well as sorting and scrolling)
imp: check-sum scanner: lowered the algorithmic complexity of steps 1 and 3 when preparing incremental scans, so this works remarkably faster now
imp: slightly darkened the text-color for ROM-/software-state ‘mostly correct’ for better readability
new: ROMAlyzer: added a second ‘copy to clipboard’ function that only copies the bad or missing dumps from a given set and excludes columns that aren’t important for this purpose
new: revised the software-list XML cache to be stored in / retrieved from an SQLite 3 database in order to save memory, speed up software-list loading and allow for ROMAlyzer support — see also bug tracker ID #63
new: added a new combined database for all supported DAT-info sources (emu-info, game/machine-info and software-info) — see also bug tracker ID #80
wip: ROMAlyzer: adding support for software-lists (there are two instances of the ROMAlyzer now, one for ‘systems’ and one for ‘software’) — see also bug tracker ID #61
