thanks for the help!
Unfortunately, there's no savestate support for that rom.
Unfortunately #2 is that I don't have an F10 button on my CP, nor do I have any intention on installing one.
I was thinking though, I wonder how difficult a software hack for that would be. Being a software guy, I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty in the code, and I've compiled previous versions before. Just wonder how difficult to fake an F10 keypress before and after the loading would be in the driver itself... If I have time, I'll investigate and post back.
If that would work, I don't see why not to put something like that into EVERY startup routine; some of the POSTs on these roms do take quite a bit of time. While I enjoy seeing the crazy video fly past the screen, most people who aren't "in the know" think my machine has crashed a firey death every time they pick a new game to play.
