Even something like the way advanced launcher does it - they hide the command window of .bat files (.sh in linux??) and then if you want it can also say "loading xx rom" in the bottom corner. That definitely makes it look a lot more professional.
With regards to you re-designing the interface - please do consider "playlists" which can be implemented like an m3u file, or something more flexible such as a tags system.
Wouldn't it be great if, instead of seeing 3000 roms and be bombarded by choice, to select "gamepro's top 100 snes games of all time" or "adam's fav NES games". Customization, simplicity, and dare I say curation would be achievable.
