Coming back to MAME, cannot get no-nag and hiscore to work

Hi guys

 

It has been many years since I used MAME, now I want to use it on one of my arcade cabinets. I have

been trying to get no-nag screens and high score to work, but I just cannot get it to work. I remember

all the problems I had back in the day, with compiling etc. It was horrible. Every time it just ended up

working, without me knowing why - which made it hard to reproduce :)

 

Does any of you guys have a MAME version where it is already done? I really don't care about version

number or anything. I want to use it with a frontend, so I can choose a game from a very simple

interface. Advice on FE is also welcome :)

 

Thanks!

Try GroovyMAME it does not nag and supports high scores.

It keeps telling me about missing graphics settings everytime I try to start it :)

GM is mainly for use on a CRT but can run an LCD not sure what is in your cab. There are many things to set and take lots of your time to set up :)

 

Some info here they might be your problem?

Also a guide

Thanks for the links.

 

I think I have decided to try some multi-arcade boards....I almost fainted upon seeing the guide. I am way past that :)

Yeah it can be alot of work, I'm about to start a new setup. I hope it wont take to long as I have not done a new build for years.

Calamity joined the MAMEdev team, GM now has nag screens.

 

There's a user called bandito on the GM subforum on ArcadeCoontrols, search for any post by him and i think his website is in his sig. He posts up GM builds with nonag and wolfmame patching. Must be other pre-compiled builds around as well.

 

@AE35 you say version doesn't matter, but you need the romset as well. If the versions are too far apart a lot of games won't run.

Thanks for the info I found the links to the Bandito No Nag GM. It been awhile since I have updated GM.

@AE35, what version ROMs do you have, link below to the 0.149 version of Groovy MAME and 0.154 MAME64.
