Response to A modest proposal

Mark, I think you hit all of the major shortcomings of MAME. However, I see #4 as two separate problems. The start/end time stamp for a recording may be correct, but if someone is playing with a high frame skip rate, that's a different animal. Looking at a time stamp alone wouldn't catch that. Also, there may be utilities out there that can pause a MAME thread, where someone doesn't have to use the PAUSE key. The time stamp code would have to look at the bios clock or could count the CPU cycles since the initial INP file creation time.
