: I don't exactly recall if it was on this board or not, but I've noticed a lot of people
: refer to adding 'O' and 'K' buttons to their control panels to bypass the first-time running
: of games under MAME.
: I've also heard of those who do all sorts of things to get around
: this as well, such as editing .CFG files, copying .CFG's from their main computer, etc.. etc..
: I'm sure most of you know this already, but it seems to be a common mistake. Instead of
: going through all of these measures, the left and right arrow keys also act as the 'O' and 'K'
: buttons, so a simple 'left-right wiggle' of the joystick will also get you passed these screens.
: I hope nobody started drilling yet. :) Oh yeah, does anyone know why this isn't documented?

That's useful to know, I don't know about everyone else but I was unaware of this fact. However I normally use my own compiled version of mame which has certain things like that re-mapped or removed.
