MAME 0.63 Game Warnings

[toyguy]

Can anyone point me at the location in the source to get rid of the game warnings that appear when launching a game with MAME 0.63.  If I launch Lunar Lander, for example, from the command line using MAMEPP, it displays a warning that the game may not play correctly due to a bad rom dump.  It will do this every time I launch it.  I'm bypassing the disclaimer and game info screens using the new command line switches, but I need to get rid of these warnings as it causes Emulaxian, my FE, to hang upon launching the game because the notice is hidden at that point.  

I can reveal the MAME launch process with an Emulaxian option, but I don't want to do that as it ruins the whole FE effect for my cabinet by making Windows appear.  I thought I had found the spot in usrintrf.c by commenting out the DO loop in showgamewarnings() but that didn't do it.

Thanks!

This seems to be different in MAME 0.63 now.  There is no little window with a Press OK message.  Now it appears in the DOS box just after you press Enter for the command line.  Looks like this warning is coming from a different place.  That's probably why my one attempted change didn't work.

If anyone has done this for 0.63, I'd be grateful to know where.

Never mind :^)

After a bit more reading, I see that this is really a bad rom warning, which is in common.c.  I got that taken care of, as well as the other screens.  Thanks for the tips!

How did you fix it if you don't mind me asking.  I'm having the same problem with the US arkanoid.  I know i can just play arkanoid world, but thats beyond the point.  I'm interested to know what you did to fix it though.

Follow the link below and check the topic about getting rid of the OK screens.  It also describes getting rid of the Bad Rom warnings.

0.63 allows oyu to get rid of the OK screens in the ini file/ command line options.

Sorry about that.  I followed the link earlier but only seen how to get rid of the ok screens listed.  I didn't bother to go to where it explained that cause i already knew how to recompile without those.  Little did i realize the bad rom info was listed with getting rid of the OK screens.  Doh!
