You can skip a few things by editing your mame.ini file:

skip_disclaimer
skip_somethingelseicanneverremember

(Turn these on)

NoNameMAME has some extra options to skip game warnings / bad dump screens etc...

Regular MAME/MAME32 have the following options (0=no, 1=yes)
skip_disclaimer         1
skip_gameinfo          1

NoNameMame has the additional following options:
skip_gamewarnings 1    <---------I believe this is what you want
skip_baddumps        1

Note you have to create a mame.ini/mame32ini/noname32xp.ini file by using the -cc comandline option.  (sorry, I don't know how familair you are with this)
...they only live twice!...

Ok, i dont like noname mame cus the version of mame i have i got i few of those games that we cant talk and i love to play them.In fact i also suport those games by goin to the amusement plases and ply them for money.So i dont know how to compile my onw version of noname mame to get the same kind of games like in the one i have.I know arcadeos had a opcion to skip all that kind of screens and bad dump screens but i think the designer of mamewah didnt think about this one.I spoke whit him by email and seems that he dosnt know how to do'it either.About the opcions on the .ini file of mame i think i got everything under control,even the sleep opcion.......so if anyone whants to share a beter front end that does this kind of job or whants to share a version of a noname mame that plays those private games it will be very aprecited.  Thanks.  ode1979@yahoo.com :P

Err.. I'm confused.  Are there games that work in regular MAME/MAME32 but don't work in NoNameMAME?  

AFAIK, you don't need to use a front-end to configure those options (and it'll be easier to just edit the MAME.INI file as the above posts described) than to find a front-end that'll do it for you - - if one exists).

Yeah as DaveMMR says read the earlier replies.  You don't need a trick in a FE to get past *most* OK screens.  Only bad dumps and game warnings will appear.

Actually I did think of this when I first wrote MAMEWAH (the -skip_whatever options weren't in MAME then) but it proved VERY difficult to do in my chosen programming language, so I decided it best to compile my own.  I would have recommended this to you if you mailed me, until NoNameMAME came out that is...

He is talking about games that were made recently, and that is the reason the official MAME doesn't support them. For the same reason, neither do I. Not really anyways...

You could always just run 2 emulators.  NoNameMAME so you can skip those screens and whatever build you use to run the new games.
