Hello LB Forums,
Wanted to see if anyone else on here tried the latest MAME 0.216b and experienced this yet? I updating from MAME 0.209 to take advantage of their new -lowlatency option offering to minimize input lag further with a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) LCD monitor. Everything is fine, except two things with 0.216b for me so far. Not sure if it is because of MAME itself or I'm missing something in the latest version.
1. Under MAME artwork, use_backdrop 0 is no longer taking affect in the mame.ini file for 0.216b. It is also apparent that the option to turn backdrop off when accessing the in-game MAME menu under video options is also missing along with a few others. In the past, this had solved the default GLASS backdrop from loading automatically in 0.209 and to default to FULL instead in every game which I preferred.
2. In 0.216b, there is now an initialization screen that briefly pops up for all ROMs or even when starting mame.exe by itself which is annoying. Anyway to get rid of that? I've been using the -skip_gameinfo command line in launchbox and ensured this was in the mame.ini file as well which didn't have any effect either to remove this initialization pop up window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!
