I believe the cabinet version of VPinMAME removes that nag screen.

actually it doesnt to get rid of it download setDMD load all your roms and tables into their folders than run it. and choose the install roms and update option and it will get rid of the nag screen for all the roms you currently have in the roms folder.

Just to be sure:

Did you place that dll file in the same folder as the original VPinMAME.dll? That is where it is supposed to go and that should get rid of that nag screen.

cab vpinmame dll will not remove nag screen
but nag screen comes only on first launch of table so its not big deal
it will be removed permanently as soon as you start all tables once
latest fplaunch also automaticaly closes nag messages

Remove the nag screen by: Clicking 'yes' on the nag screen.

I hope people don't get mad at me, for putting this info out there, but from a programmer's standpoint it's quite easy to remove the nag screen. Just like regular mame, pinmame looks for a cfg file to determine if you've ran the game before and if it doesn't find one, the "press ok" message pops up. Cfg files for vpinmame, unfortuantely, are saved to the registry.

Making a (Default) key with a Dword value of 1 in : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\romname should remove the warning message. This also has the added benefit of preventing pinmame from writing all the default cfg values into your registry for that game. Considering there are like 60 options and all but maybe 10 are only applicable to regular mame, this is a good thing. wink.gif The only downside is you don't really know what rom a table is going to load, thus the need to essentially add the registry entries for your whole set before hand.

It actually IS a big deal btw... Why? Because dedicated pinball cabinets and/or mame cabinets might not have a mouse available and you have to click on the box. I'm not saying that the message should be removed, but it should be possible to press "ok" with your pinball controls.... Maybe a Left and Right Flipper press similar to MAME?

This is a problem with a lot of tables btw. Many of these megapin tables have a popup box that you can't navigate without the aid of a mouse. If a table has a scripting error it's displayed via a messagebox, ect.... I know it's more work, but these sort of option menus should be integrated into the table so that they can be navigated with pinball controls.

I hope nobody is offended by any of this, it's just I figured that when vp/pinmame went open-source that a lot of these easily fixed issues would be addressed. Hopefully if I can find the time and everyone is willing, I can alter the source code of these programs to fix some of them.

It does not allow me to get into the box with my mouse to check the box yes I am. How do I get into the box to answer it?

Yes but it will make him do that over and over
and if he has a cabinet, which is the TAB key?

 

Better to run setup from vpinmame folder, and set the default to be cabinet mode, and then no dialog to answer

Yes, cabinet mode was created exactly for this back in the days. So all changes back from that fork were incorporated into main PinMAME and can now be enabled via that checkbox.
