Bypass MAME copyright screen?!
« on: October 27, 2006, 10:28:07 pm »
Is there a way to bypass the MAME copyright screen?  There used to be an INI setting, but I don't see it in the .ini file any more.  I have a fresh installation and did the -createconfig.

I supprised a search did not answer that for you?

The new versions of mame don't allow it.

However you may be able to obtain a re-compiled version somewhere

I appreciate the gentle nudge toward the search feature without being rude ;)  I actually did try that.  I just didn't know what to call it.  I tried:

  • mame legal
  • mame copyright
  • mame disclaimer

One of those got me to the actual .ini setting skip_disclaimer 1.  The search feature is a little odd in that it doesn't return your list with the most recent results.

Anyway, thank you for the answer and I'll probably just leave the disclaimer on-screen as it's not hurting anything.

My disclaimer disappears after I run the game once. ???
Galaga... Was there any other game?

I may be able to e-mail you something if you can PM me an e-mail address that can handle a 37Meg attachment  ;)

Try uploading it to rapidshare or megaupload... if you would be so kind.
