Summary	02604: Option to "Create .INI" in minimal UI.
Description	A worthwhile addition would be to allow a "CREATE NEW MAME.INI" option when presented with the game selection/minimal UI screen. There are some who absolutely cannot fathom any command-line integration - this would assist those who would otherwise get frustrated and still do know to edit a text file from notepad.

No.20148 cuavas Administrator Apr 30, 2022, 19:02	You can create a mame.ini by starting MAME without specifying a system, selecting “Configure Options” at the system selection menu, and then selecting “Save Configuration”. I believe that option has been there ever since MEWUI was merged.
No.20149 cuavas Administrator Apr 30, 2022, 19:07	Initially, MEWUI would automatically create mame.ini when you closed the configure options menu. At any rate, it’s been possible to create mame.ini through the built-in UI since the initial import of MEWUI.
