How do you save a game state in MAME?

If anyone cares. Here's a diff file that has both the one button save/load code; and also the "GAME PAUSED" code.

On my cab, I use Left Flipper (left shift) - PAUSE (P) to save and Right Flipper-PAUSE to load.  For some reason, MAME automatically reads the "P" as the save position, so all of my save/load games are on position P.

Hmmm.  I'm new to this and just building my cabinet, I have everything ready and just waiting on the artwork to be completed.

Anyway, my button layout has a 'save game' and 'load game' button but I hadn't figured out how to do it.  Which file do I put this code into ?

It'll give me something to play with whilst I'm waiting for the artwork !

I know this message is over 19 years old, but I would love to apply the "GAME PAUSED" message to version 0.170 which is the one I'm using since it's the last version to support DirectDraw.

Any possibility you're still around and can take a look at the 0.170 source code to help me figure out how to add the message? The code seems very similar to the latest 0.268 version, so it would probably work for both.

EDIT: I managed to figure it out. If anyone is interested, here it is.
