: This new "sticky" mode needs to have a switch.
: It is good for games like Ladybug and Qix. But I don't like it at all in Pac-Man/Ms.Pac-Man!

That was my feeling when I tested it in my own compile. . . Good for Qix, bad for Pac-man, Donkey Kong probably a toss-up.
I haven't tried b14 yet. There may be a switch in either the mame.cfg file or an undocumented command line switch.
I was the one who posted the suggestion on the main MAME board. The followup discussion suggested a command-line switch so I thought it would be implemented that way. I expect it will be in the next beta.
I will post a followup to your post about this on the MAME message board on Monday. (I left my password on my other E-mail account and can't access it until then).
