About This File
Inspired from MAME's built in feature in the main UI (and via their in-game Tab menu) and Ben Baker's CPWizard.
View information from MAME's command.dat to show:
CONTROLS
CHEATS
HOW TO PLAY
COMMON COMMANDS
SECRET CHARACTERS
Included in the plugin is a "MAME Command" Custom Badge (LaunchBox Only [unless someone figures out how to show Custom Badges in BigBox])
This will show the badge 
for games included in command.dat
