If you'd like a user flair reflecting that. I like Steam + ICE for adding all of my games PC/Emulators in one place with a nice uniform graphical interface. I do like box arts but when you are combining various systems together the OCD in me kicks in and I don't like them being all different shapes. It also has the bonus of being able to be streamed from my gaming PC to other PCs in the home. The biggest negative for me with Steam is that it doesn't integrate metadata or video clip previews.
I also have experience with Kodi+Rom Collection Browser, which was what I was using before Steam. The positives are that you can integrate different videos for previews, which I really enjoy. Also you get the box art and the metadata.but I found that switching from system to system with just a controller can be a pain for the uninitiated.

Then just set the correct paths in MAME Launcher. The reason I use MAME Launcher (and SDLMAME) is because I can play a ROM (eg. Ddragon.zip) simply by double-clicking on it, after setting it to open with MAME Launcher via Finder's/Path Finder's Get Info. Or even quicker, just by browsing my Games/Arcade folder in LaunchBar and press enter to run a game. Since SDLMAME is just a binary, MAME Launcher will open but will run the game immediately.
If you prefer, you can use MAME Launcher as a frontend and browse/launch your ROMS from there, if you like the extra options such as screenshots, flyers, info, search, etc. In case the official website goes down.
