Nope, Windows too :)  I think it is at the end of mame.ini...

Short answer:
No, you can only do that with the windows mame, sort of. :P

Long Answer:
Don't confuse mame, dmame and mame32, nor dos applications and commandline applications.

Dos mame ("dmame") makes mame.cfg.  Windows (commandline) mame ("mame") mames mame.ini.  And mame32 (win mame + GUI) makes it's own ini files which are usually read from the ini folder.  Each is a little different looking, but mame and mame32 ini files are interchangeable (ie: copy into the ini folder), while mame.cfg is different than the other two in details if not in outline.

Dos applications cannot use win32 or directX.  A windows commandline application starts from the dos-looking commandline, but uses win32 API and/or directX.  Mame uses win32 API and directX, just like mame32; dmame does not use win32 API or directX.
