Gradius:
Could anyone be so kind to tell me the way to remove all OK screens in the latest versions of MAME32? The old way of replacing a couple of lines in mame.c no longer works. It's for my personal use and I will not distribute my build. If you think this information should not be public, please send me a message to stormrider@alvarezeninternet.com. Thanx in advance.

I'm running MAME 106, and I dont' mind the disclaimer junk, but when I have parties and everyone's crowding around the machine, I always have people asking me if I can turn that off. I think I'd rather see a 5-minute disclaimer screen the first time I boot up the cabinet instead of having it every time a game starts up!

SirPeale:
You can turn it off in mame.ini.

You'll always get game info the very first time you run a game, but it doesn't come back after that.
Gradius:
It must be this line in mame.c:

ui_display_startup_screens(!settingsloaded && !options.skip_disclaimer, !options.skip_warnings, !options.skip_gameinfo);

Unfortunatelly I have no idea of C, so I don't know how to edit it. If I remove the '!' I skip the OK screens but I have a screen showing the game information, which promts you to press the select key. It's a step forward, but not the real solution.
Gradius:
I GOT IT! This is the right line of code! -->

ui_display_startup_screens(!settingsloaded && options.skip_disclaimer, options.skip_warnings, !options.skip_gameinfo);
