I'd say that's a seriously inefficient way to do what ClientServerMAME (or OnLive, for that matter) does.

It sounds as if you intend to try and violate MAMEdev's intent in that specific way, in sort of a "no, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die" manner. I'm sure you're not actually planning to do that, so please explain your *real* use case.
