I believe the settings are put in the CFG file. If you don't move the CFG file to a TMP file when you start a recording - you should be able to start with lv 4, 60 seconds. Doesn't MAME place the CFG into the INP anyway? Doing this is quite legal. Just change it to level 4, 60 seconds - leave mame to save the cfg, reenter mame w/o moving the cfg to somewhere else, and you'll be fine.(posted 9215 days ago)GB9
