Possible to Remove System Spec window on ROM Load

(1/3) > >>

Is there a way to bypass the system spec window that shows up when you launch (specifically MAME roms)?  The one that shows game name, CPU, sound and Video Info - where you have to click past?

This might seem trivial, but hosting this in an arcade cabinet it's unappealing every time you start a game.

Trying to google this question, you get everything about system specs and system requirements and nothing about how to bypass (if possible).

You'll need one of the various builds of mame that incorporate a "No Nag" feature.
GroovyMAME supports this, as do many others. You can learn more about that particular build in it's subforum here:

Just remember if you do start using a no-nag build - if you run into problems with certain games you will not get the warnings that would normally tell you what the problem is - SO best to use them after you already have your game list set and working before using it - or use a stock build for testing newly added roms that you are not sure of their status before asking for help if they are not working properly !  :cheers:

Actually the info screen goes away after the first time you play the game unless it's a game with preliminary drivers or has something wrong with it... aka an info screen you SHOULDN'T skip.  So it's best to use stock mame... those screens are there for a reason.

Just ran a stock Mame build and the info screen, NOT warnings, appeared each time I launched a game. It didn't go away after the first time.
