Not that I know of. But I'm betting the value thing is as you said, EWJ. Look up the charts, and there you go, dr. Just record the original values. Also, you could request a UI feature for that of the devs.

FONTS
With the release of 0.107, MAME now has support for different fonts in the User Interface menu. Simply take any .BDF font, name it to ui.bdf, and place it in your MAME directory, and you're good to go.

As a mainly Windows, user, however, I had never heard of BDF fonts (they're an X-Windows thing as far as I can tell). Anyway, I found this neat little program that converts TTF fonts to BDF, called otf2bdf. To make the font show up decent enough, you need to make sure to convert it to a big enough point size. I used the following commandline when converting the ones below:


C:\>otf2bdf -p 48 fontname.ttf -o ui.bdf
Below are some of the ones that came out half-decent. Just click on the pic, and unzip the file to your MAME directory. More coming soon (or whenever...)
