About This File
**This removes the nag screen that informs you if a rom doesn't work correctly, or if at all, if you use this no nag, then please do NOT go to the mame support site with issues with games, please only use if you understand that there will be no help from anyone at mamedev as you are using a modified version of mame.
Contents: mame.exe - Normal Mame with Nags removed. (Note mame no longer carries the 64 in its exe name changed by Devs in 0.229)
This version also allows the games Akai Katana and Dodonpachi Saidaioujou to be played.
It's advisable to download the full mame official pack and install it, then just overwrite the exe with the replacement, this covers any changes the mame devs may have made to the support files.
After you have done this, make sure you copy the folders artwork, ctrlr, cheat, hlsl, ini, folders and the ini files from the root of your original mame folder, and move/copy them to the new install.
If you are using your own installed/setup of mame then make sure you also set in the mame.ini 'Skip_gameinfo 1'
If you got Launchbox to setup mame for you when asked, you only need to replace the exe and play.

MAME 0.279
MAME 0.279 is here at last! Building on the work in recent releases, this month you’ll get to see proper lighting and fixes for logic bugs in Sega Model 2 games. Philips CD-i emulation keeps improving as well, including better cursor behaviour and XA audio fixes this month. While we’re talking about things you can see, MAME now emulates the “snow” effect on early ZX Spectrum models caused by memory refresh cycles interfering with video RAM accesses. Graphical issues in various Konami and Irem games have been fixed, and there are noticeable improvements to graphics in some Namco System 23 games.
There’s been more work this month on support for NES-inspired chips from V.R. Technology, bringing some of these low-cost games closer to working. There are lots of improvements for emulated Macs, particularly the PowerBook Duo sub-notebooks, and fixes for a few issues with the Apple IIgs as well. The Casio FZ-1 and related sampling synthesizers now have preliminary sound output. The Sharp MZ-5500 computers are also starting to show some life, although emulation is far from complete.
As always, you can read about everything that changed this month in the whatsnew.txt file, and source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available from the download page.
