Jason, what I usually do when there's a difference between the xmame command 
line args and MythGame is write a wrapper script for myth to call that 
parses the command line and calls xmame with xmame's flavor of the day 
command line args. (drives me nuts the way they change that every other rev, 
it seems.)
