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.

 

Thanks for the upload. Appreciated.

You are literally on the post where all new no-nag MAME versions are posted...

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

didn't want to sound like a wise guy... I literally commented because I was trying to help. never thought you didn't tried clicking the Download file button yet.

Just discovered this version today and it is very good thank you.

Can you add support for Clockwork Aquario? Apparently it is supported in some other versions of mame but I prefer your no nag version.

Unfortunately not, as far as i know it was never released in the arcades due to it being canceled before completion, and as such has never been on mame. Im sure i read that there was a "possible leak" of the roms, but other than that, i think your best bet is either

the PS4 or Switch version of the game. If there is  a version that was added to a version of "mame" was probably a bit of a Frankenstein build of it.

I try to keep the no nag clean as possible, so adding something like a game into mame that wasn't there before is not something i would want to do.. 

Sorry..

It seems like it only requires changes to segas18.cpp https://git.redump.net/hbmame/diff/src/hbmame/drivers/segas18.cpp?id=723738d56e87a9c448e492dec4baf3bba0540338

Thanks for this, it's appreciated.

Is there any way you could look into doing Arcade64 nonag ?

I am sure I seen it once, but now nobody seems to be doing it.

Thanks again 👍
