Mame No-Nag Updated Monthly, Current Version: 0.266

Thank you @MadK9 for your time and effort building a No-Nag version! But when I download and extract v. 240, Mame itself and the Windows file details still show v. 239.

@Your_Friendly_AI_Overlord Removed for the moment will recheck, thanks for pointing it out.

Yep i messed up was real late, i see the mame update had gone up, and grabbed the new source, but seems this wasn't updated yet, the binaries were, and i just didn't notice. I'm rebuilding it now, will upload shortly.

...and then if i download from this site, version 0.241 merge complete and CHD too, and i put all together in a folder and i use new system import of launchbox, all works perfecty ?

At last i can download this and change it at mame.exe and correct file mame.ini as you write.

Yes? It's ok? Sure? Thanks

GRAZIE HEAPS COMPAGNO

Salve, ho scaricato MAME 0.241 da  pleasuredome  e seguo il nuovo passaggio automatico per un nuovo set di importazione di MAME in LaunchBox, ma al termine scarico qui il nuovo file mame.exe (di 0.241) e lo sovrascrivo in LaunchBox/Emulatori/MAME cartella.

Successivamente apro mame.ini e cambio Skip_gameinfo 1  (prima era a 0) e provo ad esempio ad avviare il gioco di galaga. mi dispiace ma non funziona

Come fare ?

Mi aiuti per favore!!

This no nag works perfectly, its tested before i release it. Just replace the exe in mame with this new one, and make sure the ini is edited. The no nag removes the Loading/Decrypting Text and removes the warning popup if the rom has a known issue,

I've tryed just now but nothing. Why ?? 

Im not sure what you are expecting in the way of help, and why you say it wont work if you have followed the instructions.

You need to give screenshots of what you are seeing or its showing.

Thanks for these no nag versions.

How do I find the 241 version? Seems like this thread just keeps track of the most recent mame.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Click Download this file and then Download just that one.

 

I did this and now MAME GUI is not working. Dies on game selection screen. (Leaves a stuck mouse cursor on screen)

Please help

I've changed video mode to auto and d3d and still the same. Games run fine though when launched thru LB.

mame not working.txt

Apologies if I am missing something.

I just did a clean extraction of mame0245b_64bit, and then overwrote mame.exe with the one in mame_0.245.7z. However when I boot a console, I still get the console info screen. I see there is a 'b' in the file I got. Is this a newer version than standard 0.245? When I start the original mame.exe that came with it, it still says 0.245 on the menu. So I'm not sure if I missed something obvious, or if I am dealing with a version mismatch.

I believe @MadK9 compiles these for Arcade only and he doesnt compile for other systems like what is in a software list and the like, he would need to confirm though.

Full support for other systems and software lists is still included.

The "b" just means Binary.  aka the executable + the other files.  As opposed to the Source files which are the files used to compile and create 'executable + the other files'.

Did you edit "mame.ini" and change "skip_gameinfo" to "1"?  (Default is "0" [zero])

Hi there, 

I am on a freshly new Launchbox install. I imported a MAME arcade full set and let Launchbox setup MAME on its own.

I replaced my mame.exe by the no nag mame.exe but it does nothing.

I think it's because I don't have any mame.ini file in my mame root folder (and set skip_gameinfo to 1 in it) and I don't know if there is one or where to find it.

I can start MAME games throught launchbox but with the nag screen.

 

I tried to generate a mame.ini file using the command "mame.exe -cc" and it worked, but it looks like it's being ignored by the MAME config in launchbox. 

Any help appreciated at this point.

I always parse the exe at virus total before i post it here just in case something has managed to get on my machine.

No virus detected here on Windows 10 and MS Defender.

Re-downloaded today and didn't get the warning.  Interesting.

For the record, the detection was Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

Version 0.246 is not removing nag screens for me.

 

Edit: Things I've tried to make it working:

- Removed the Launchbox Running Script for nag screens

- Deleted the -skip_gameinfo command-line 

- Edited the mame.ini (skip_gameinfo line can be found under CORE MISC OPTIONS)

- Turned On "Skip game information screen" under Miscellaneous options in MAME's General options

No luck.

@WizardoThe 0.246 EXE works, so it is something on your setup.  If the skip_gameinfo setting is set to 1 then more than likely, you are pointing to wrong MAME.EXE and/or MAME.ini file, particularly if you used the LB MAME "all in one" setup.
