Over the past 25 years, the question has been asked a million times: "How do I turn on Free Play for all the games?". There have been a few tips and tricks over the years to do this (more-or-less) with MAME, but nothing super easy and foolproof.
So I made a new MAME Plugin that does it for you for every game. Just install the plugin and that's it!
https://github.com/Jakobud/freeplay
Anytime you load up a game, if the game supports Free Play, this plugin will enable it automatically for you. There are 3300+ games that support it and this plugin will work with all of them.
Look for the latest release here: https://github.com/Jakobud/freeplay/releases
Check it out. Let me know what you think. Give me some feedback and/or create an issue in Github if you find any bugs.
Cheers :cheers:

Well, this is cool.
Have to add this in next time I'm back into the MAME box machines.
And thanks for all your previous work on cabinet dimensions and plans (and sharing it all too of course.)
Really heplful on more than one build for me over the last however many years now!
