Is there any way for me have mame bypass the warning and info screens as well as load up a save slot when it loads a rom?  I.E. be like never unplugging the machine and saving the hi-scores? 

Thanks

See the hi-score patch stickied at the top of this forum.  It also removes many of the warning/info screens.

First, manually create a save state that you want to load automatically.  Then create an ini file with the same name as the rom file and put it into the ini subfolder under mame.  The ini file should have at least the following if you saved it in slot 1.

--- Code: ---state             1
--- End code ---

The game will then automatically load save state number 1 on game startup.

Enable autosave. 

Quote from mame/docs/windows.txt:
--- Quote ----[no]autosave

   When enabled, automatically creates a save state file when exiting MAME
   and automatically attempts to reload it when later starting MAME with
   the same game. This only works for games that have explicitly enabled
   save state support in their driver. The default is OFF (-noautosave).

Of course, this only works if mame supports savestate from that game.
