Re: Need diff to disable load state messages

Just know that that message isn't displayed to annoy you; it's to signal that you are doing something unsupported and the game is likely to malfunction in some way after that point. (In much the same way that the information screens at startup can tell you useful things about the status of the emulation if you don't disable them).

They are intended to. We want end users to know that MAME in a cabinet is MAME; it helps discourage stupid illegal stunts like putting MAME cabinets on location with real coin doors, and it's good advertising for the project. But you can make them look less awful with the -uifont switch. A nice sans serif classes things up appropriately in most cases.

Basically, your requested modifications are so exactly pitch-perfect for the various Chinese companies making crappy MAME-on-a-PCB ripoffs (48-in-1, 64-in-1, 1000-in-1, etc, etc) that we can't help you because it would also help them.
