NAG Screen & Full Screen!

(1/3) > >>

M.A.M.E Power:
Ok I have the latest version of mame and the games fill the sides of the monitor but not the top and bottom. I have the mame.ini file stretch set to 1, so why are games not filling the complete screen?

Also the nag screen appears (the one about the use of roms) even though I have it set to 1 in the mame.ini file. I do not get the other warning screens.

I am running windows XP Pro with a 128mb graphics card and mamewah as my front end. I have a 19" monitor also.

I have done numerous searches but none of them seem to answer my question!


Have created a mame.ini file with the latest version of mame and it only has the option to turn off game info and not warning screens.



Suggestions please.

I was just about to ask basically the same question. I've just about finished my cabinet and have a new computer on the way tomorrow and am wondering how to get rid of the 'nag screens' in Mame32.. Specifically, the one that says 'There are known problems with this game, Press OK'. Everytime that pops up I'm going to have to open the cabinet to get to the keyboard unless I wire up the O and K keys somewhere. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

Edit: Finally found the answer about wiggling the joystick. :P

You can move the p1 joystick left then right to simulate the "OK".  So there is no need to open your cabinet and grab the keyboard.

There should never be a need anyway since you should be using a wireless keyboard.  :)

The only thing you can disable through the ini is the game info screen.  Game warnings as well as the disclaimer can no longer be turned off or on by the ini file.  That code was removed.

You could create .cfg files for every game in your system.  If the code sees this file it thinks you have played the game before and won't show the disclaimer.  However, this will NOT stop it from presenting the warnings screen (this screen says that sounds isn't accurate, video isn't accurate, cocktail flipping, etc).

The only way to remove those (and the easiest way in my opinion) is to just change the code and recompile your own version of mame.

I thought it must have changed - as I updated to a new version of mame and no could no longer get rid of the nag screen.

I guess the easiest way is to play each game and let the cfg folder build up?

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah that will work, but again you can't get around the warnings screen.  The game info screen can be turned off, and the disclaimer will only show once, but it is the warnings screen ther bugs me.

My favorite is the "This game does not support cocktail flipping".  I have to look at that everytime on my UPRIGHT cab.

Well at least I did have to look at that.  Now I don't.  I changed the code.  :)
