Is there any way to block the "known problems" screen

[rlemmon]

Hi does anyone know of a way to block the known problem screens that pop up with some games ?

Thanks

Im not sure about other mame builds but im pretty sure you can block them if you use BuddaMAME.

Outside of using a custom build, the only way to get rid of those is to hunt down the error screen in the source and comment it out yourself.

I've done this in the past.  It's not entirely difficult to comment out a block of code and recompile via the detailed instructions over at mame.net.

-skip_disclaimer
Disables the game disclaimer information before the game.

-skip_gameinfo
Disables misc game information before the game.

Is this any help?

Nope - he's looking for -skip_warnings from either NoNameMAME or BuddaMAME, but the link I posted has all the details.

Howard Casto just found that in MAME 0.79 or newer, you can bypass these by adding -ftr 1 after the game name.  I will be updating the link above to reflect this.

In the mame.ini in the mame folder, the line that says "Frames_To_Run", change the "0" on the right to "1".  Howard Casto is a mad genius.  I don't understand him, nor do I try, but the guy is damn smart.

Or if you're not-so-smart like me, you can open up a command prompt at C:\mame and type:

"mame galaga -ftr 1 -cc"

and then it will save it for you.

Once again, thank you!
