Oh yes, infact a lot my submissions were accepted and included in official MAME only because I was pesting Developers to include them in any case. You should open MAMEINFO.DAT with a text editor and search for Mamesick. NeoGeo is still imperfect now in any case, just look at MAMETesters opened and valid bugs. Other emulators still uses my "hacky" solution (which was not mine but was the initial approach of DEVELOPERS to the system) in their source code. Though, as I said...
