Mr Custard was working on a great looking front-end a while ago. I think he was using Delphi or something like that. The front-end was for Mame32 and it was a clone of the Wii Channel interface. It used the Mame-screenshots and displayed the names from the mame-gamelist underneath.
It looked great but it wasn't very handy with all the mame-roms displayed. He even did some tricky memory caching so that the memory would only contain the games and screenshots of the area displayed. I believe he gave up on it because of the continuous changes the mame emulator has been going through, especially since version 0.1xx.
I have yet to come across a nice interface on the PC - I did see a rather nice one on a hacked xbox running some variant of mame called Coinops.
