Use INSERT to fast-forward the emulation for a while, if you get impatient."* While this text is in the mameinfo.dat file under information for this game and online on the FAQ:Games section of mamedev.org: https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/FAQ:Games I don't believe the source file says this. I'll add it myself or have someone add something similar to that people can see what to expect. Closing.

It takes over 30 seconds from one target vanishing before the next one shows up. Most of the time is spent waiting for something to happen. If a game is started and left to complete by itself, it takes around 22 minutes. Granted, the game was just a test thing, but it should have at least been a game rather than just sitting around. Are we sure that the timings are correct?
