I'm going to go out on a limb and say MikeQ may hold up on this since a MAMEdev is currently working on it on the main MAME Distribution - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51156.0;topicseen

Does this not go against the MAME philosophy....

http://mamedev.org/about.html

Derivative works are allowed under the MAME license. However, you are discouraged from providing specific functionality that goes against the philosophy of the MAME team. Specifically:


  • Do not add games which are more recent than 3 years old, or which are still being sold new by the company that produced them. MAME is not intended to be a platform that competes with arcade games that are still being actively sold.
  • Do not provide a means of generating a list of games that specifically
    identifies those games for which the user does not have image files. This only encourages users to seek out sources for illegal ROM, CD, and hard disk images in order to "complete" their collection.
  • Do not remove the startup screen that contains information about why certain non-working games don't work. This only serves to generate a bunch of useless email traffic to the developers asking why the games don't work.

They haven't been removed and are on by default.
