Skip warnings doesn't skip

[nemesismachine]

I have almost everything done on my cabinet, short of artwork.  My question is about the prompts at the start of any MAME game, the "left right or type OK to continue" screens.  I have the %file -skip_gameinfo -nowindow in the MAME configuration tab, but it still doesn't skip.  Thoughts?

As far I know ya can remove those...... guess all depends on the ROM

What version of mame you using? Turning off the nag screens has been disabled for years so unless you're rocking an old one no dice. Check out the thread about compiling your own with high score and nag screen.

Have you tried MAME Config-O-Matic ( http://files.arcadecontrols.com/details.php?image_id=3650 ) -- You run it once and it creates the config file for all games that you have not run yet getting rid of that screen -- It doesn't remove the other warning screens (ie. "There are Known Problems with this Game") but does get rid of the Nag screen that loads on first run of a game.

Im running .146.  I'll check after work today, never heard of the config-o-matic.

Check out Groovymame on these forums, it has these features and heaps more.

Certainly not in .146 - you have to compile or accept nagging :-)

I use hiscore_diff (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,64298.0.html) as well as saving high scores (without needing/using save states) for games, it also has some other features one of which is the removal of nag screens. Its simple to compile - using a great guide. Details of hiscore diff and compiling are all in the thread above.
