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.

 

As some are not sure about  False Positives, and report a virus was detected, As goes for all versions i upload, they are all ran through virustotal before i upload, and if by any chance something did end up with an issue it would be noticed very quickly after upload and would be removed/restricted.

0.282 - VirusTotal - File - 29544b0113bab2bbcc13aa3a1064612addf3cfd399c671c25a29a48f63cefc26

 

All NEW versions of the No-Nag will be posted in this download thread only, if you wish to get the new releases every month, either follow myself or the thread, As the download section will not show any new releases.

What's New in Version 0.282   See changelog

Released

From /r/mame

Today, we have a very spooky surprise… Oh wait, no we don’t. But what we do have is MAME 0.282! If you want to get into a haunted mood, you might want to try playing Beast Busters: Second Nightmare, because Hyper Neo Geo 64 sound is way better than it was a month ago. Just a friendly reminder, MAME still runs plenty of other ghastly classics, like Laser Ghost, Splatter House, Monster Bash, Haunted Castle and Ghouls’n Ghosts. And speaking of sound, XaviX sound emulation has just had a major overhaul, so you might want to give some e-kara cartridges another listen. Also, if you’re musically inclined, remember to keep an eye on MAME’s synthesiser emulation, because it just keeps getting better!

Sega Model 2 emulation is noticeably better again, with improved graphics and a number of logic bugs fixed. Speaking of 3D graphics, the severe graphical issues plaguing ARM users playing Namco System 22 games have been corrected. Apple II users can enjoy more accurate emulation for software that pokes dark corners of the hardware, including Zip Chip accelerators, interrupts and model-specific functionality. There’s also new D13 disk image write support for people using Apple DOS 3.1 and 3.2 disks. There’s been steady progress on emulating more features of the graphics chip used by the Minitel 2 terminal.

That’s all we’re going to talk about here, but as always, there’s lots more to enjoy, including better Namco System 23 performance, an overhaul for Mega Drive cartridges, plenty of software list additions, more features for the floppy disk image utilities and some additional functionality exposed to Lua scripts. You can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the mamedev.org
download page.

Thanks again! I really appreciate your work.

I have another small request: would it be possible to include the DAT files as well?

After each MAME update, I find myself checking this page more than a hundred times to see if the new DATs are available:
🔗 https://www.progettosnaps.net/dats/MAME/#bottom

It would be fantastic if, once MAME is updated, we could immediately use RomVault or any other tool to verify our sets, what’s complete and what’s still missing.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

 

Sorry, but as this is a modified mame, the dat set would be incomplete as there are 2 games that are re added by me, so no unfortunately i cant add the dats, and i no longer use dats.

As for normal dats just search 'pleasuredome git' in your fave search engine, you will find them on there fairly easily, or you could create the dats with clrmamepro and the mame.exe (this last one does have some draw backs though)

Followed every instruction in these comments to the letter, still getting nagged when I launch a game. Using MAME 279, really not sure why it isn't working.

You to be a bit a little more descriptive on what is showing up on your screen, or a screenshot, this will help narrow down somethings. (are you running mame as a standalone emulator, or are you using the Launchbox installation, as these require two different approaches.) Some times people mistake what this actually does and removes, we will try to help you as much as we can, but as you are the only one reporting an error, it must be a simple error, that can probably be remedied easily. 

Most times just replacing the exe file in you mame setup will result in it working, if you run a standalone version that you installed manually (not using Launchbox's install option) you need to edit the mame.ini and just make sure  'Skip_gameinfo  1' is set. Thats all there is to it, you will know if its working as when you run a game that has a yellow/red warning will show a Warning Information option in the Tab menu when you are in the game.

Forum UI doesn't really reflect it but if you push Download File there are several versions you then have to pick which one to download. Just grab the one you're searching for.

Awesome, thanks for the help! ( see it wasn't that hard to just help out @GodElite) I never went that far because I just assumed that would have been just the 0.281 version
