AM will work with any emulator that can be run from the command line. So yes, you can use MAMEUIFX. Modify (or create) your emulator file Configure-->Emulators-->mame

Executable = C:\MAME\mameuifx.exe
Command Arguments = /[romfilename]
Rom Path (s) = C:\MAME\roms
Rom Extension(s) = .zip;.7z;<DIR>

Obviously you need to adjust the paths listed to match the paths you're using on your system.

Thanks for the quick reply I guess I will have to find out how to run mame uifx with the command line first I'm not sure if it has that option.

You can run MAMEUIFX from the command line. I provided you the exact steps you need to use it in AM. Use the info I provided and change the paths to match yours and it should work. There really isn't anything you need to figure out other than the paths you're using.
