This is my third PR with my cabinet changes (see #1982). All my changes are "BSD-3-Clause License".
This PR adds an option to fast forward at startup.
Some games, e.g. defender, has a lengthy power on test sequence.
With this PR it is possible to start the game without throttling and then automatically revert
to normal speed after some time.
The option is called
seconds_to_skip
with shortcutsts
and is used like other configurations in ini-files or on command line like:mame defender -seconds_to_skip 20
