Title: Whats the newest version of mame that allows skip_warnings?
Post by: leapinlew on November 24, 2006, 06:01:20 pm: I'm running an older version of mame and I can't figure out what the newest version of mame is that allows the skip_warnings without having to recompile mame. Anyone know off the top of their head?

Post by: leapinlew on November 26, 2006, 12:29:34 pm: It must be my memory thats faulty... I thought that mame allowed skip_warnings up to a certain version and then it was removed in the newer versions. The only way to skip them is to recompile your own version of mame.

I am for a version of mame that allowed us to skip all messages including the unsupported cocktail messages and video not 100% messages and was old enough to play Gorf at a decent speed.

Post by: Buddabing on November 27, 2006, 12:23:17 pm: IIRC only derived/unofficial builds of mame allowed all warnings to be skipped. There is no skip_warnings option in official MAME.

However, older versions of official MAME (up to and including v0.99 but I don't know how far back) allowed all warnings to be skipped by using -ftr 1.

HTH,

Launch Mame with that as a switch: mame.exe -ftr 1

It has to be version v0.99 or older. Please try that.

You can put ftr 1 in your mame.ini so you don't have to type it in every time.
