====Comparison====
;[http://www.mameui.info IV/Play]
:IV/Play (pronounced "Four Play") was designed and commissioned by John IV as an alternative to MAMEUI. It has a narrow and particular feature-set, is keyboard driven, and utilities many of the navigation and keyboard short cuts of MAMEUI. It is available as a combo x64/x86 app and is targeted towards Windows 8.1 with leveraged features like Jump List support. IV/Play is decoupled from setting MAME options directly in an effort to future proof and guard against continual core command line changes<ref>[https://github.com/Mataniko/IV-Play IV/Play GitHub]</ref>.

;[http://www.mameui.info MAMEUI]
:Currently unmaintained, MAMEUI64 is was the current name of MAME32, the original MAME GUI for Windows. As it dates back to 1997, it has had additional bugs compared to mainline MAME, lacks lacked several features of modern MAME or makes made it difficult to use them via GUI, and does did not scale properly to high resolutions. The MAME developers do did not recommend using any derivative of MAME32 for these reasons, instead suggesting mainline MAME with an external frontend if the internal user interface is not sufficient.

:An [https://github.com/xinyingho/Negatron intuitive and info-oriented front-end] for MAME; & a prettier derivative of ageing MAME32/MAMEUI. For computers and consoles, it needs builds of the [http://babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm NegaMAME] derivative. For arcade games only, you can use Negatron with regular MAME instead.
