What about separating them in different folders ?
- if the file is in the inidir\ (root), it's the game settings file
mame_inidir\galaga.ini (game settings)
- if the file is in the \source\ sub-folder, it's the driver settings file
mame_inidir\source\galaga.ini (driver settings)
MAME already supports placing driver settings into a "source\" sub-folder anyway... why not making this a default MAME behavior ?
... if .ini file is not found in the inidir\driver\ sub-folder, then it's automatically considered a game settings file.
I for one, think this is the best solution for this issue... instead of creating a a new sourceini_directory entry in mame.ini just for drivers.
Currently, you can place driver ini files either in the ini_dir root folder or in ini_dir\source\ sub-folder. MAME supports both paths.
... just my two cents
