M.A.M.E./M.E.S.S. Catalog / Launcher II - also referred to as QMC2 - is the
successor of one of the first UNIX MAME GUI front ends available on this planet
called QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only).

QMamecat was based upon Qt 2; its development was frozen in 2003. QMC2 has been
rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were
inspired by its predecessor, but it's not just a remake. We tried to make the
new design as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from front end and
CLI related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 now
uses a template based emulator configuration scheme, which can easily be
enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).

As a result of this flexible design, QMC2 can be used for multiple emulators.
Currently we support SDLMAME & SDLMESS on UNIX and Mac,
and the original variants of MAME & MESS on Windows.
