Title: Way to disable Game Info window on Mame start?
Post by: Joystick Jerk on June 25, 2007, 11:04:39 pm

I've been using Mame32 for ages now, so I noticed when I switched to the command line version of Mame that the game info window comes up when loading a game. That's the window that gives some rom and version info, and lists the games native resolution. Is there any way to disable this? It never came up when Mame32 loaded games, so I'm assuming there's a way to get rid of it.

I am guessing you need to change the mame.ini file but not sure what line.

pass -skip_gameinfo on the command line, or change it to "1" in the mame.ini file - because yes, you want this gone every time :)

eg. mame.exe frogger -skip_gameinfo
