Flandry, let me report that I got a Game Gripper and MAME operares wonderfully with it - MAME just got better, with a better controller. I know this isn't a MAME issue ^_^ but I just wanted to say that MAME is even more playable without needing to think twice about button issues!

But I do have one request - is there ANYTHING that can be done about the "game selection list"? The current setup is just far too limiting - not being able to see comprehensive lists of my games makes it really difficult to choose a game, let alone remember what games I have available.

At least a "favorites" folder would be helpful. But really, the ability to scroll down a list of alphebetized games is sorely missing. I'm surprised that the GUI can't show a scrollable list - it's just those few games that can fit in the window, and that's it?

And also, the disparity between "rom names" and "game names" makes it confusing. It would be better if the lists were sorted by their game name, rather than the rom name, since sometimes the rom doesn't begin with the same letter that the actual game title does.

A system that I thought worked really well was for the MAME for the GP2X system. You could sort your entire list of roms by alphabet, a letter at a time; i.e., there was a dropdown menu that you picked a letter from, and then the games would show i the GUI.

Anyway, this is just my two cents, please know that your version of MAME is still being played and enjoyed by the N900 community!
