How to disable loading screens on mame?
« on: September 04, 2013, 04:48:39 pm »
So im building a bartop for a nefew with just a few games, everything its going smooth, i got mame 117 setup with the diff patch, i even modified the mame.c in the source to not display the savestate loading mesage, so that way games would load at the game screen instead of the garbage boot screen, i got hyperspin setup, but i didnt like that  i can still see the loading screen everytime i choose a game, its just for a second or two,so i thoutgh that maybe it can be disable as same as the savestate mesage screen, just cant seem to find where its located in the mame source.
So if any one can help,thanks alot.

Do you mean the message of the loading of the saved state?

Isn't it from your FrontEnd? I never saw a loading percentage in MAME even for the larger ROM sets...
