This is a great addon. I don't want to see it get left behind.
Since Advanced Launcher development seems to be abandoned, the original idea behind Advanced Emulator Launcher (AEL)/Advanced MAME Launcher (AML) was to improve Advanced Launcher by eliminating the race conditions that corrupted launchers.xml from time to time, making it faster, scalable to collections of many thousands of ROMs, adding a robust in-plugin favourite ROM section and modernising the code. Some features (like global searches) have been removed due to the new plugin design. Those features (after a big development effort...) have been already achieved. However, both AEL and AML are still in a development stage, undergoing big changes and are not ready yet for the masses.
Stay tuned over the following weeks/months.
