How to eliminate the control panel screen every time I start a game

[Macguvyer]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to make the games start up as quickly as possible. How can I eliminate the same rendered control panel screen that comes up every time I start a game? I'd like to skip this but as far as I can tell, there is no "hide" command for this screen. There must be a way to go straight to the game!

Thanks

Mac

Look for:

Show Game Information

Show Game Information Page after selecting a game. True or False.If not set to true, game will launch straight away, otherwise gameinformation and recommended games will display. Recommended Gamesare selectable, and playable. The Game info page will also allow you toview a games flyer and cabinet image.If set to true, GameEx will use MAMEInfo.dat and History.dat when updatingThe game list. The default is True.

to speed up the launching

and

Enable Panel Viewer

Whether to display Control Panel with button mappings and use controls.ini.

Hi,

What you need to do is remove the path (text) to controls.ini under advanced mame configuration.

Thanks to both of you. Worked like a charm.
