you don't need to... set these settings in the mame.ini that mame will generate for you if you type:  mame -cc

[eightbit]

Yes you can, there is a option under emulater settings, under execution settings called "default options" and you can set your command line options here. Its easier to do what howard said as you will likely want to set a bunch of options.

[Howard_Casto]

how is memorizing the command line options only to enter them manually in mamewahs config easier than using the heavily commented mame.ini file?

Read eightbit's reply again HC, he was recommending your way

But yes it is best to set these options in your mame.ini file.  The Default Options setting is there to use if you must, but for MAME this is rarely (/never) neccessary.

this wont work for me it creates the extra lines on mame.ini but it still comes up the game info and all

What is the setting to take away screen about this game lacks sound press ok. I have set

skip_disclaimer        1
skip_gameinfo          1

Thanks
Derek

[Howard_Casto]

you can't unless you compile your own mame.  Those messages are important so the mame devs decided not ot let you remove them.  

[originalself]

Im glad that it will still say "the sound wont work, ect ect" Then my dumb friends wont ask why they cant hear the game!

[SpamMe]

Yeah, but I wish it said "type ok or wiggle joystick."
Getting tired of answering that question

[Howard_Casto]

On a 640x480 screen or less, "type ok or wiggle the joystick to continue" would take up a lot of space

Put an instruction card on your control panel that explains it or filter out the games that don't work.

Hi,
Just a bit more info needed here - where do I find these options? I've typed mame -cc in the command line prompt. I've opened up the ini file in MAME, but can't find Skip-disclaimer or skip_gameinfo.

Thanks

Open mame.ini and look towards the bottom, in this section:

### Mame CORE misc options ###
artwork                 0
use_backdrops           1
use_overlays            1
use_bezels              1
artwork_crop            0
artwork_resolution      0
cheat                   0
debug                   0
# playback              <NULL> (not set)
# record                <NULL> (not set)
log                     0
maxlogsize              10000
oslog                   0
skip_disclaimer         1
skip_gameinfo           1
crconly                 0
bios                    default

[aeroflott]

OK, I've doubled checked and

maxlogsize              10000
oslog                  0
skip_disclaimer        1
skip_gameinfo          1
crconly                0

Are not there. Typing in Skip_disclaimer etc and saving doesn't seem to change anything?

It sounds like you are using a MAME version before those options were added.  Can't remember exactly when they were added (v0.7something I think) - try a newer version

[Howard_Casto]

I believe if you continue to have problems then this question has went beyond the relm of byoac.  You'll need to post it over on the mameworld forums for really specific, mame-related, problems.

[Lilwolf]

The one I want to get rid of is "no known roms exist" or whatever... because you don't even get the wiggle the joystick to solve it...

and I haven't been able to send an OK to the keyboard stream and get it to work yet...

You can configure noname mame to skip the disclaimer, game info, warnings, and bad dump screens.
