I pinged WarrenO (the other person who helped with this) on your behalf, hopefully he should be along later to comment.

Aaron is not likely to comment here, though it's always possible he'll make a liar out of me. You can try sending a PM, or using the contact form on his old site, but he's mostly retired from MAME at this point.
