Title: glaunch skip warning on roms
Post by: hunty3000 on August 11, 2007, 03:09:57 pm

hi, i running glaunch and mame32 on my cocktail cab. its all set up with just a few games on. the only thing what is annoying is the warning message on the start of galaga. there is a script for glaunch to run cmd's before the game, ive tried -skip_warning and it doesent work. is there anything else i can put or will i have to set it up with a new emulator like nonamemame or advmame.

You can set skipgameinfo and skipdisclaimer to 1 in mame.ini BUT only if you have an older version of MAME that supports it.   Newer versions of mame do not have this option.   I am using .73 and it works fine.

I noticed that. Why did they remove the option to skip those disclaimers?

Must have been "politically motivated" because it does not affect the emulation at all.   Sort of like why are gambling games back when they were removed earlier?

Why not just create a custom compile of mame to remove the nag screens. This way you can use a newer version of mame. Do some searching and you can find instructions for this.

You have to use a mame binary not mame32

If it gets rid of the other 2 screens then that is probably all you can do without recompiling.   The last message is not covered by the flags in the mame.ini

If your not ready to creat your own custom recompile than I would suggest noname mame by byoac'er TheGatesOfBill it can be found here https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91067&package_id=95932

It supports up to version 0.84u1

It supports no nag screens ultimately!
