CONFIGURATIONS FOR EACH CONSOLE GAME, NOT JUST FOR THE SYSTEM

Hi, I've been researching online and I've read information that says MAME allows for per-game configurations on console systems like NES, SNES, and SMS. However, I've followed the instructions and haven't been able to get it to work. It's as if MAME only accepts per-system configurations and not per-game for each system. For example, I create a folder called "nes" inside the "cfg" folder, and inside that, I create a "cfg" file with the ROM's name, but it has no effect whatsoever in-game.

Re: CONFIGURATIONS FOR EACH CONSOLE GAME, NOT JUST FOR THE SYSTEM

I've continued testing, but without success, whether using ROMs in software list format or without an intro. My conclusion is that MAME doesn't implement individual configurations for console systems and games. I don't know if the MAME team will ever consider this option, or if it's completely impossible to implement
