The problem is, there is software PREVENTING rapid fire. If you go into notepad (or any Windows app) and hold down 'A', you get a string of aaaaaaaaaaaaaa until you let go. Mame apparently translates this into the button being held down, rather than the button repeating. If there's a feature in Mame that lets you bypass this for certain keys, I don't know about it. Anyone?

Not exactly...
What you are seeing in notepad is called typematic. It is a function of the bios/os placing keystrokes into the keystroke buffer when the key is held down. MAME does not use the buffer, but instead reads the actual state of the key based on key make/break messages.
