@mitu Yep, cheat works in mame2003-plus (and you can make a savestate for each version to save future faffing). The one place I didn't think of looking, cheers :D

Thank you guys for all the assistance. I have NO idea what step created those huge .cfg files. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

You used 'Save Configuration' in RetroArch's RGUI. Either that or you enabled 'Save Configuration on Exit' from the RGUI.

That is ABSOLUTELY it. I've been trying to figure out (without luck) through trial and ERROR, how to get to where I can cut off the initial post period of some of the roms (like Defender) and auto-load the "clean" state as I used to do on my PC version of MAME.

Wow. Glad to have a solution and a reason.
