At the risk of sounding rude, if you ask a question in public then you don't have a right to get the answer you want.
People offer help for free and if part of that help is to correct what they consider a mistake in the question, then it is up to you whether you either accept that help or not.
If this is a problem that you are facing on multiple forums, then it would seem to be in your interest to learn to adapt as it's unreasonable to expect the world to change around you.
Alternatively you could try to only solve problems within your abilities without asking for help, or learn how to solve them without help.

As the functionality already exists and you don't have the ability to find it, then it's unlikely you're going to get very far with what you want to do & you'd be back again asking for help.
It's possible that you will find someone willing to walk you through it, but I couldn't justify the amount of effort required to assist in re-implementing something that already exists when it looks like you are just going to argue with any advice given.
I'm sure you are disappointed because you are being prevented from doing what you want because nobody will invest time in helping you, but that is something that you will face in every part of your life & changing your outlook will be a more useful lesson than anything you can learn from making changes to the MAME source code.
