I have just uploaded beta 6 of MAMERun and the source code to the
MAMERun home page:

  http://home1.gte.net/stefanj/mamerun.htm 

You can also find it at Hobbes:

Final expected placement is:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/emulator/ 

Whats New Beta 6:

Added code to verify correct path for MAME.exe
Added checking for ROM Sets
Now asks user if they want clones listed in Hotlist
Updated About message and added mailto: button
Will now recreate MAMERun.cfg if it does not exist
MAMERun bitmaps are now embedded resources
Added error log viewing
Added readme viewing
Minor interface changes
Fixed some minor bugs
Checked for compatibility with latest 
release of MAME (v.37b7)
Checked for compatibility with OS/2 4.5 
(FP13 and higher)

What:

MAMERun is a FREEWARE PM front end for the DOS version of MAME
(Multi. Arcade Machine Emulator). A front end is a program that makes
it easier for the user to interface with his application, which
usually has a command line interface. MAME is a very popular emulator
that allows you to run thousands of classic arcade games on your PC
(if you own the ROMs). You can find the MAME homepage at:

  http://www.mame.net/

The Official (and very good) OS/2 PM port of MAME was done by Marty
Amodeo and is at:

  http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/ 

Requirements:

OS/2 
MAME for DOS (I used version .37 beta 7)
DOS Support installed
RexxUtil
IBM joystick device driver (for joystick support, download from
hobbes or DDPAK)
Use one of the enhanced joystick drivers for best performance
(available at Hobbes)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)
