Retroarch Mame Core

Is there any way to stop the info screen showing up when I load up a rom ? I've tried using -skip_gameinfo but had no luck !

I haven't played with MAME through Retroarch very much. However I do know that with MAME directly, I've read that sadly you can't turn it off without literally recompiling MAME from the source code. :/

Not sure if this will work, but try adding these lines to "retroarch-core-options.cfg"

mame_hide_nagscreen = "enabled" mame_hide_infoscreen = "enabled" mame_hide_warnings = "enabled"

Curious to know if that works for you, @TonyWatto. Thanks @Bil.

Very, very, very old versions of MAME allow you to skip the disclaimer, but I think you have to convert the roms to work on old versions. I'm still using a version of MAME that is probably 15 or more years old at this point.

Hi folks. I don't use Retroarch so I can't comment about it. But if you are using Mame as an emulator in it's own right with LaunchBox you can disable the game info screen either by adding -skip_gameinfo as a LaunchBox Default Command Line parameter or by editing the Mame Configuration Settings file (mame.ini) to set skip_gameinfo to 1 The Roms copyright warning screen can't be bypassed since Mame 0.100 way back in 2005. But this box only pops up when a game is first run. The problem game screen can't be bypassed, and will always show for a game that has support issues in Mame. Personally these startup boxes don't bother me. They can be clicked through in no time at all.

Thanks for the clarification, @scree. :)

Finally got round to trying it today, but it has no effect. It's not the end of the world hitting space a few times . At the moment I'm enjoying some classic Amiga action
