Thanks. Works perfectly now!

One last (?!) iteration of the shader-glow module, based wholly on zpaolo11x's drop shadow and ambient glow shaders and code:
fe.do_nut( "drop-shadow.nut" );
local ds = DropShadow( "snap", 10, 100, 100, 10 );
I will test if you are trying to fix focus/blackscreen problems.
Currently I'm on 2.0.0.cr2 as it's the only version I've found that works on my arcade cabinet. Most versions of AM work fine on my desktop.
cabinet: Win7 64bit SP1 aerotheme (necessary) Intel HD2000 integrated graphics.
desktop: Win7 64bit SP1 aerotheme (necessary) NVIDIA GeForce GT 710
I just tried 2.5.0 and your 2.5.1exp with fresh mame0203b 64bit binary.
They both exhibit this bad behaviour:
After loading AM, selecting a game (frogger) gives Blackscreen.
Game is not running in background. Alt+Tab, windows Key, Alt+F4, ESC all seem to do nothing,
I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del and select Task Manager.
I can then see the various windows tabs in the task bar, and can select Mame.
When I Esc out of the game, the TaskManager is in front of AM, but I can click onto AM
from there everything works fine from then on.
If I do an exit to desktop and then restart AM, I'm back to square1: I get the blackscreen when select a game.

@xod: Along with MameUI, another thing you could do is try one of RetroArch's really old Mame cores. Any of their Mame cores with a date (for example: Mame 2010 core) would mean it's the older variant. Not exactly sure which one 0.78 romset would fall under though for use, or if you'd have to download a new set. But the older cores would be perfect for you because they would optimized for weaker hardware setups.
Yes, that's what I had in mind. 0.78 = 2003, does RA have that ?

I have read others using bat scripts as bridges. What is the actual reason for that though ?
Note that the batch itself works perfectly fine when you double click it outside of AM.
Same thing is observed by me launching AM -> MAME 0.78, vs launching MAME 0.78 directly (without AM). Runs fine without AM, but with AM I have to either have any random application('s window) set to "always on top", or have terminated Explorer.exe (the shell), or run AM in windowed mode. Just for the purpose of gathering knowledge, have you tried having some application window "always on top" (while NOT minimizing that window) ? Try Task Manager and click menu item Options -> Always On Top. Then without minimizing that Task Manager window, launch AM and a game/bat, will it work then ? If yes, then we at least know that you are likely suffering the same probelm as me. To further verify, you should download Process Monitor. It's available for download at microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
If you download Process Monitor, I can help you to create a filter (not related to AM filters) for pcsx2.exe, and see how long/short that process runs. There is far more info provided by Process Monitor, but as I'm new and haven't learned much, I will go no further. And I write "help" because Process Monitor filters can be confusing for the beginner, but simple once you grasp them. If you're interested let me know.

Hehe, I'm getting tired of all this.
What happens, if you set the resfix plugin to your emulator-display?
