4.99 and MAME 99u3 + Bypass Disclaimer = Lockup

[Toonces]

Hi Tom,

I upgraded from 4.96 to 4.99 and removed -ftr 1 from my commandline (I am still using MAME 99u3) and turned on Bypass Dislaimer and when I launch a game, all I get is a black screen. If I hit escape, the game will start to load but still displays the Disclaimer. I hit escape again and the screen goes black and locks up. I can get to task manager but it shows no apps running. I don't see GameEx.exe anywhere in the processes list either, only hideos. If I turn Bypass Disclaimer off, everything works as it should. Is this something that can only be used with the latest version of MAME? How are you bypassing the screens?

Thanks!

I only tested with a few -32 versions. What version are you using, let me know where you got it from and Ill do some more testing.

I am using MAME32FX 99u2 not 99u3. I normally use commandline version of mame but recently switched to mame32fx as it seems to do better on classic game sounds (not as many glitches in the sounds).

Thanks!

I did most of my testing with MAME32FXu6. Can you try that.

I agree MAM32FX is good, it seems to load much much quicker too.

BTW do you know when the Skip cmd options where removed, I actually thought it was u3, not u2. Or was it just plain .99?

I'll give 99u6 a try tonight. -ftr 1 was "Fixed" in 99u3 (I mistakenly posted that I was using 99u3 when it was 99u2) and skip_disclaimer was removed in 99u5 as it now only shows the first time.

What does the setting for bypass warning screens actually do? Does it just add back the commandline options or does it try to hit ok for you? Just wondering how you are trying to do that.

Thanks!
