Looking for a copy of Mame_no_warn

[leapinlew]

From the B/S/T thread - someone compiled a custom version of mame that removed all the errors (especially the "video not 100% accurate" error). I'm building a driver cabinet and will have no joystick to select ok to this error.

Anyone have a copy they can email me or send me?

It is sooo easy to do:

Just download BuddaMAME. It has what you need. Search fo' it!

...I'm building a driver cabinet and will have no joystick to select ok to this error.

Wrong.  The wheel is a joystick (unless you're doing a 360 wheel), and will do fine by default (unless the wheel is joystick 2+).  Or you can map UI_Left and UI_Right to any buttons, pedals, gear shift, ect you have.  One start button and one turbo button will do fine.

The cab that you can't "OK" with would need:
no player start buttons,
no action buttons,
no pedals,
no joystick,
no 270 wheel,
no lightgun,
only trackball or spinner controller, and
only one "coin" button.
How many games are like that?  Zero driving games?  So why build a cab like that?

Well damn... I didn't realize I would need to explain in such detail.

It's a driving cabinet with a single player button, 1 coin button, 1 quit button, 1 turbo button, 2 pedals and a 360 wheel. I realize I could configure 2 of the buttons to be mapped to O and K.  That would definetly work. What wouldn't work well is explaining that to my 4 year old neice or 5 year old nephew. My buddy compiled me a version of mame without the need for OK. It took me an hour or so to get the version of mame I needed and I bet it saves me 5 hours explaining to various people that to press OK you hit this button and than that button.

The OK message that is the real culprit is the "Video is not 100% accurate". Since it comes up everytime and for a large portion of the driving games.

As it is, about 30 games will work well with the configuration I've listed. I didn't see the harm in asking if anyone had a copy of it before I seeked other means to obtain it.

my 4 year old learned how to deal with those OK screens in no time. if you do it as buttons, they will learn it easily.

[leapinlew]

I'm not saying a 4 year old can't do it, but why have them do it if you don't have to. If your interested, a friend of mine compiled a version of mame for me that removes all the OK screens. It goes straight into the game.

Maybe it's not necessary for you, but I wanted to make my cabinet as user friendly as possible.

Dude...  Go download BuddaMAME. It has the option to turn off all the nag screens, and its current.

Correct me if I am wrong..but don't frontends like GameEx have options to bypass these?  I thought I've seen the option before.

You don't have to compile anything.  Just open the Configuration file for MAME and change the following to read as such:

Code: [Select]

frames_to_run 1
skip_disclaimer 1
skip_gameinfo 1

By default they are set to "0".  Changing them to "1" gets rid of those nasty warnings.

That doesn't work on the newer versions - I forget the cutoff...

[rescue161]

Crap!  Shows you how much I keep up.  Why did they remove that feature from newer versions?

Because they're now "The Man!"

The ftr exploit was removed in version 0.100. The skip_disclaimer option was removed more recently, 0.105 IIRC.

Converse of the Microsoft Theorem:  "It wasn't a feature, it was a bug".

[rescue161]

I guess that's why I don't upgrade just to upgrade.  If it works, don't fix it.  I'll keep my old MAME setup without the crappy warnings.

[Buddabing]

You're right, there really is no compelling reason to update from v0.99 to v0.106. But v0.107 will have some really good stuff in it, such as multiprocessor support and a revamped video system.

Multiple mouse and lightgun support sometime around 0.103 maybe?
