DOS front ends that skip nag screens
« on: March 22, 2002, 12:31:25 pm »
....I know ArcadeOS skips the nag screens, which is the jam quality to have...  

Does GameLauncher?  AdvanceMenu?  any other DOS frontend?

note: i like the above two, stylewise, better than AOS, but that one feature would make me choose AOS first if the others dont have it.

=0)
thanks!
dave

i have heard this, but as software-savvy as i like to think i am, i couldn't tell you what compiling even is, let alone how to do it.  no programming knowhow here. =0)

so this means i could use any frontend and not have to deal with the screens, eh?

Ok, I get that you may have no clue what programming is.

Other than those offered above, just wiggle the Joystick Left and Right (same thing as typing "OK") and off you go.

Yeah, Like I said in the other thread, either push left then right, otherwise recompile:)

You can use advance menu with Advance mame and skip the nag screens with just a few entrys in the cfg file from advance mame...

[script]
video = delay(300); repeat(3) { simulate_key(key_o,100); delay(100);
simulate_key(key_k,100); delay(100); }
