I've been playing around with Advanced Launcher a lot lately so I thought I'd share what I've come up with.
First, it bothered me that PC games wasn't under it's own launcher (of course, since it's not an emulator). If this bothers anyone else, this is how you get around it:
1) Create a folder with shortcuts to each of your games
2) Create a batch a batch file that launches anything passed to it as an argument (argument is %1). 3) In Advanced Launcher, set the emulator as the batch file, the rom file type as shortcuts, and the rom folder as wherever you made the folder with your shortcuts.
From there you can do an automatic scan and add games like you would a rom (just add a shortcut with the game's name to the shortcut folder).
I also made a logo to go with Angelscry's set:
I also needed some MAME/Arcade icons for my setup which you guys are free to use. They aren't my best work but it beats having no logo.
Full Set:
