PacMAME 0.60

[BSides666]

I've gotten PacMAME working beautifully with GameEx now, except that I would like to be able to skip the MAME disclaimers when first running a rom. I haven't been able to find a version of PacMAME built on a newer version of MAME than 0.60, and it doesn't support the -skip_disclaimer or -skip_gameinfo flags. The SendKeys function doesn't seem to fix this. Here are the emulator settings I'm using... Thx in advance!!! Oh, and great job on the front-end Tom!

Hi,

To save you fatigue, I would say that give up on trying to make GameEx bypass the info screens in PacMAME. The only succesfully way to do this in modern versions of MAME (and believe me I have tried even though its somewhat unethical) is to get the source code, change it, and compile it yourself.

There are resources around to help with this.

No easy task I am afraid, you may find some kind souls elsewhere who will help you though if you wanted to spend the effort on it.
