Okay, he asked if you were that particular person because there's this weirdo that keeps going to several classic gaming and emulation forums to bash MAME for some obscure reasons nobody understands. For what it's worth, I don't believe you're that guy.
jcalder8 was talking about setting up the Hyperspin frontend to work like he wanted. I imagine he meant that he set it up to run ALL his emulators, which would take a long time for someone who isn't busy all day. He probably didn't spend three full weeks working on that.
MAME isn't meant to be easy to use. That's because in theory, it's not meant to be used for playing games. At least that's what some of the devs used to say a while back.
Chill, dude.
Edit: Lady Jaye, the best way to do that these days is to get a program like CLRMame, use that to scan and fix your romsets, and it'll save you some time. These days there's torrents released whenever MAME is updated so you can just pick the ones you need to download. Downloading roms from websites isn't really worth the hassle anymore because of lazy webmasters who refuse to post the newer romsets, and instead leave ancient ones up that won't work with later versions of the emulator.
