- Sort and filtering of games (by genre, year, publisher, etc)
- Searching
- Tracks what games you're playing (last played, most played, haven't played yet, etc)
- Quitting the emulator/game from the controller
- Play a random game
- MAME support
You might want to shoot them an error report on that one. Hmmm, maybe on the mailing list?
They're all good suggestions and I can help you with the one about quitting from the controller when you've finished playing an emulator.
The best way of doing this (in Windows) is from within the emulator GUI. This is going to be a bit different for each emulator but as an example, you can achieve this in zsnes by doing the following:
click 'misc' from the top right of the zsnes window > choose 'misc keys' from the menu > click on the box next to 'exit' and press the key on the controller which you would like to use to quit zsnes.
Hope that solves your problem and let me know if you need any more help with emulators
