Using save states for mame roms with long load/test times?

There are several roms I've noticed that have lengthy load times from either self-tests or initial region restriction warnings (e.g. "This game is for distribution in Europe only").  Is there a good way to jump past those into the game ready to play?  I thought maybe save states would be a good method.  Would that work and how would I set those up?  Directly through MAME, HyperSpin, or RocketLauncher?

it use to bother me... especially with CP-3 games that lave to load extra long for the first time but I actually appreciate that I experience the same exact thing as the original Arcade cabinets (they are the roms so I wouldn't expect anything else) I realize that the average gamer just wants to jump right into the action (and even I wish certain games weren't such a pain in the ass with the TESTS) but it's authentic and for CAB users..a lot seem to like that everything is just like it was.

 

Not sure how you would set it up other than some form of HACK to the actual ROM... the save state seems like a good idea in theory.
