mess cmd lines to skip entering ok & etc...?

[puppetj]

I 'am using mess and i want to skip the typing the ok and the two enter's and just go right into the game, like mame32 is some how setup to with gameex, which not sure how gameex does that with mame32, but i looked at the help on mess and i just saw the cmd line "-[no]skip_gameinfo" which i even put in as "-noskip_gameinfo"

ans still didnt help me out, i looked on the mess ws boards and no help, anyone know?

If it even works in MESS which I don't think it does, it would be -skip_disclaimer but this command line argument has been removed from the MAME core.

If you're using MESS instead of vannila MAME or MAME32, in your GameEx Advance Config, go to the 'Advanced MAME Options' tab. Then select 'YES' for Bypass disclaimer / Warnings (which is like the 4th option down I think).

no i'am using it for atari 5200/7800/coleco/etc.... and no that cmd line didnt work, if there is no other cmd anyone knows ok, would it be possible to use send keys for that many key combos?

I use MESS for these emul;ators also and that doesn't happen to me.

Did you try disabling the GUI? Put this in the command line:

-nonewgui

[puppetj]

yes that line is in there, well that would only happen to me of course! what version are you using, i'am using the one i dled from gameex wiz

mess.exe coleco -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" -joy -now -nonewui

I'm sure its a comment you make in mess.c before you compile, much the same way you do it with mame but I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know what to add or remove. Something in this area of MESS.c I believe.

void showmessdisclaimer(void)
{
	mame_printf_info(
		"MESS is an emulator: it reproduces, more or less faithfully, the behaviour of\n"
		"several computer and console systems. But hardware is useless without software\n"
		"so a file dump of the BIOS, cartridges, discs, and cassettes which run on that\n"
		"hardware is required. Such files, like any other commercial software, are\n"

		"files are not distributed together with MESS. Distribution of MESS together\n"
		"with these files is a violation of copyright law and should be promptly\n"
		"reported to the authors so that appropriate legal action can be taken.\n\n");
}



void showmessinfo(void)
{
	mame_printf_info(
		"M.E.S.S. v%s\n"
		"Multiple Emulation Super System - Copyright © 1997-2004 by the MESS Team\n"

	showmessdisclaimer();

Anyone have any ideas?

i found out it was only happen running the atari 7800, because the bios of the 7800 fails, i saw another on here about the 7800 bios failing now matter where the person dled the bios, so i just got emu7800 emulator just for the 7800 and its good now!
