you can get rid of the 2nd screen with the game info using the "skip_gameinfo" switch.. can set it in mame.ini also.

if you set skip_gameinfo 1

you'll only need to deal with the legal disclaimer once per game.. after that it'll load directly into the game.

heck if you're like me you'll wanna set dip switches, check inputs, and run though the service menu the first time you play a game anyway.. so it's not a big deal imo.

Never noticed that...I guess I'll just remove the second notice.

I'd been wondering about this myself. Just tried a few things and it looks like all that drives that initial OK screen is the existence of a *.cfg file in the CFG folder.

And that file looks pretty simple, just a little XML with the name of the game in the SYSTEM element.

Wouldn't be too big a deal to just generate a CFG file for each one of your roms and then replace the system name with the game rom name.

I may have to dust off some of my perl skills to give that a whirl  :)

Gee I though't you "rolled your own" I compile my own Mame, no 'nags', 'notices' nothin  :P

drventure:

I've actually been wanting to investigate compiling Mame for myself.

I really want to change the color used in the admin menus in Mame. Everyone knows that computers back in the 1800's were amber screens, not that fancy new fangled blue color Mame uses  ;)

Lilwolf:

btw, its a 1000x easier to compile mame now then it was 8 years ago. 

So be glad.  Its now an hour long project including downloads...  10 minutes if you already have it... Used to be hours.
