yeah, it would be trivial for even a junior programmer to convert a lot of those drivers to load things from software lists for the purpose of HBMAME, it would even fit the "100 hacks on the same hardware" model better, and possible help people developing the hacks add their own as they could edit the xml files without recompiling.
seems like the perfect place to use software lists to be honest.
