Yes and no. There are a couple of issues with this:

1) As far as I can tell, that hasn't been updated since 2007. That doesn't necessarily mean that the information it contains is bad, but rather that it needs five years of updates just to catch up with where MAME is now - and there's already a lot of unincluded information to add in on top of it.

2) It appears to be geared heavily towards giving moves for fighting games. That's within the scope of what I'm proposing, but doesn't go quite far enough. I think this was mentioned in one of my earlier replies, FWIW.

3) This is intended for use with MAME32+. That's not a MAME build that runs on a platform that I use, and I'm not likely to fire up a Windows VM for MAME. What I'm proposing is something that would be part of the stock source tree.
