I used several versions of MAME Mac OS X and I simply can´t do savestates - all it gives is the old "Unable to save state - Anonymous timers pending" in DoDonpachi (and other games, but I mainly want to focus on DDP now and I need savestates for practicing the later stages badly).
I know that savestates in DDP ARE possible, since I´ve done it back when I had XP on earlier versions (although it sometimes crashed). This is just one of those "emulating things perfect" quirks, right? Is there ANY solution to this? I searched forums and sites but can´t find anything to solve this. Isn´t there a hack or something?
I also have trouble running ESP Ra.De. on the later versions ("Files missing"), and the earlier ones don´t recognize my gamepad, but run it. If there is any way to solve this, too, I´d be more than thankful.
I know there are not too many people using MAME Mac OS X, but I´d figured some of you might have experience with these specific titles. I just want my self-made level select badly.

Thanks in advance.
(I use MAME OS X 0.122 at the moment, though I tried almost every avaiable older version from Sourceforge. I also tried the PPC MacMAME, but it runs very laggy...)
