AFAIK, they have been removed since GM 0.171. I dunno why really.  :'(

Highscore is now in official mame. No nag has to be maintained in the groovymame source, probably not worth effort and time.

Since the hiscore feature was added into mainline, there's no point in me mantaining a build with MKChamp's patch.

The "nonag" feature was always lame in my opinion. The more familiar you get with the information posted by MAME/Switchres in its info box, the better you get diagnosing video issues. Ideally any competent arcade gamer should know the video modes used by all important systems from the top of his head. This makes it easier to setup your system because you know which specific games (video modes) you need to test. It becomes obvious which users are forcing the "nonag" feature by simply reading their posts.

If you really really need the nonag feature then consider rolling your own build. A light-weight "suppression" patch has been posted.


Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.
