IV/Play (pronounced ‘Four Play’) is a new desktop oriented GUI front-end for MAME. It was designed and commissioned by John IV as a familiar feeling alternative to MAMEUI.

It has a narrow and particular feature-set, is keyboard driven, and utilises many of the navigation short cuts of MAMEUI. It is available as a combo x64/x86 app and runs on XP and Vista, though it is designed for Windows 7 with leveraged features like Jump List support. IV/Play is decoupled from setting MAME options directly in an effort to future proof against the continual core changes that impact MAMEUI.

Limitations: Requires Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0+ installed.
