How tough is it to add new drivers for currently unsupported games? Is it the kind of thing an amateur who doesn't know how to program can figure out with info out of the MAME drivers?
Here is what the information in drivers should look like per the TXT file, so I would think you can make your own INI files if you can find correct roms and locations to load in.

# This is a very well commented driver file

# This started it's life as a pacman driver.
# the filename is the short name of the driver. for example, "BUNNY.INI"
# will have its rom files in ROMDIR\BUNNY\ROM.BIN
# General: This contains general information about the driver
[General]
# Description: This is the "long" or "full" name of the driver.
# This will be displayed in the -listfull list, or file selector
Description = Pac-Man (Midway)
# Layout: General information about the graphics layouts
[Layout]
# GfxDecodes: number of "Decode"'s below in the file
GfxDecodes = 4
# Orientation: orientation of the decodes. This is to simplify writing
# drivers. Instead of making the driver rotate the info as it
# loads it, this will rotate or flip the images after it's loaded
#
# 0 - no effect
# 1 - Flip X - mirror everything in the X direction
# 2 - Flip Y - mirror everything in the Y direction
# 4 - Swap X & Y - mirror along the top-left and bottom-right diagonal
# 5 - Rotate 90 degtees clockwise
# 3 - Rotate 180 degrees (clockwise)
# 6 - Rotate 270 degrees clockwise (90 degrees counter-clockwise)
Orientation = 0
# GraphicsRoms: stores the names and sizes of the files that contain
# the graphics data
[GraphicsRoms]
# these are numbered, starting with 1, through the number of required roms.
# order in this file of the numbers does not matter. If there are 1, 2, 3,
# and 5 (no 4), then it will stop at 3.
#
# The fields are seperated by spaces, and are as follows:
# (offset) (size) (filename)
Rom1 = 0 4096 pacman.5e
Rom2 = 4096 4096 pacman.5f
# Offset: Location or order of the rom file in memory (in bytes)
# Size: File size of the rom file (in bytes)
# Filename: The name of the rom file. (case insensitive)
#
# Above: pacman.5e starts at memory location 0 and is 4096 bytes large
# pacman.5f starts at memory location 4096 and is 4096 bytes large
# Decode1: As above, the graphics decode banks start at 1, and there are
# as many of them as in "GfxDecodes" above.

# width: number of bits wide each sprite is.

# 2 planes = 2^2 or 4 colors
# 3 planes = 2^3 or 8 colors
# 4 planes = 2^4 or 16 colors
# 5 planes = 2^5 or 32 colors
# 8 planes = 2^8 or 256 colors
planes = 2
# planeoffsets: there should be as many of these as there are planes. They
# are seperated by spaces. In this example, on plane 0, the
# first plane, each sprite starts at 0. Plane 1 starts
# at 4 *BITS* off from the beginning of the sprite.
planeoffsets = 0 4
# xoffsets: the offsets from each sprite start point for each bit for the
# beginnings of each row of pixels
xoffsets = 56 48 40 32 24 16 8 0
# yoffsets: the offsets from each sprite start point for each bit for the
# beginnings of each column of pixels
yoffsets = 64 65 66 67 0 1 2 3
# charincrement: the number of bits to add to the start point to go to
# the next sprite.
charincrement = 128
# here's an example using the above:
# sprite 0: starts at (start) or (0), and is (2) planes deep.
# plane 1 starts at (start+planeoffset1) or (0 + 0)
# The first row (8 pixels wide) of bits can be found at:
# 0+yoffset1+xoffset1, 0+yoffset1+xoffset2, 0+yoffset1+xoffset3, etc.
# 0+64+56, 0+64+48, 0+64+40, etc...
#
# the next plane starts at (4) and, using the example as above is:
# 4+yoffset1+xoffset1, 4+yoffset1+xoffset2, 4+yoffset1+xoffset3, etc.
# 4+64+56, 4+64+48, 4+64+40, etc...
#
# the next sprite starts at (0+128) (bits, not bytes)
# it's first plane starts at (0+128+0)
# it's second plane starts at (0+128+4)
#
# the next sprite starts at (0+256) (bits, not bytes)
# it's first plane starts at (0+256+0)
# it's second plane starts at (0+256+4)
#
# and so on...

# ... I think ...
