I have no idea how to do either to be honest. :) Could you point me to software that already does this, so I can have a look at the code to get ideas? > Menus etc. should be completely navigable with mame control / joystick > buttons - makes it nice for cabinetes. This somehow gives me the idea you've never used my front-end... MAMEd doesn't use menus, and all controls were specifically designed to work well with an arcade setup. I wrote this front-end to use it in the cabinet I'm still planning to build (I may actually start on it soon...finally....after 2 years of talking about it... ;).
