Once saint bans you, again, I'll reply.
I can't wait, so I'll just excuse (ban) myself then.
But, before I do so, I would like you to know there is not any such options he should be messing around with in the first place, and the actual reason why there is 2MB extra bloat is obvious to anyone who managed to grab his .diff file while that thread still existed on MAMEworld forum. It contains over 1000 lines of new code, and changes to core input and menu engine: inptport.c, inptport.h and uimenu.c; which is quite unlike Driver-man's solution that is even smaller than what was there before.
everytime you get banned you come back. And you will continue to be banned once you realize this web forum is not your personal playground for disruption. Give it up and move on. You can be a welcome member here just like everyone else if you play nice just like everyone else seems to do so. Thread Closed.
