Title: MAME - Press any key
Post by: chris2922 on January 12, 2005, 01:25:07 pm: Quite a while ago i was browsing the internet and found a small utility that removed the need to 'press any key' to begin a rom once MAME had launched it. Now that im building a MAME cab this would be an ideal little program to have running on it.

Does anyone know where i can get it from now?

How do you disable the other warnings then?

I put in a -skip_warnings option in my MAME build. See the Movie Maker thread.

To the best of my knowledge, the following warnings require a source change to skip.

Game not working
Game has unemulated protection
Game has wrong colors
Game has imperfect colors
Game has no sound
Game has imperfect sound
Game has imperfect graphics
Cocktail mode not supported

That can be done with NoName or whatever build supports it. All other warnings can be suppressed with command line arguments or with mame.ini.

Post by: stevejt on January 14, 2005, 09:58:27 pm: I recently put skip validity checks in my mame .99 ini. It worked fine, saved ALOT of time loading games. BUt after a few days, it removed itself from my ini. I dod NOT change any settings during that time. It removed itself twice, a few days apart. Any ideas why, or how? Does mame do it manualy, or restore a past ini? It is driving me nuts not knowing how it dissapears every few days....

PS- I posted a thread for this question, but besides not getting a reply, people arent even reading it...

I know there is a patch for it.Just don't know where to get it.
I'm sure it must have a way to do it.

If you're sure that MAME is changing your mame.ini file, just write protect it. (attrib +r mame.ini)
