[RESOLVED] GameEx Arcade, need game information gone

Recommended Posts

I did a few searches and came up empty, but I'd like to get rid of the game information, in-menu, that pops up when you are on a title. For starters the information is wrong on about 90% of my games. I searched high and low for a dat file for .175 but all links are dead, and this is the MAME set I want to use, as it has maximum compatibility with the games I play.  

This is fine with me as I want the game info gone anyway. I have recently added all the Hyperspin themed videos, and the information just gets in the way. I feel that the videos do fine on their own, without some bland text buggering up my screen.

i've been through the wizard and saw nothing I can change to get rid of it.

I've used search feature and couldn't find much pertaining to my issue. I have also perused the wizard extensively and nothing. Besides buggering up my new setup, I have HS themed videos now and the info gets in the way, 90% of it is wrong anyway.

Finding a dat for .175 has become increasingly annoying; I end up at the same dead link no matter where I look for it.

I just want all the in-menu, text-based, game information, gone with no trace. 

 

I am running Arcade Edition.

 

not that it matters for this issue, but I am on Win7, GameEx arcade, and MAME 175 with command line 175 MAME

I moved two almost identical posts, merged them, then moved them to the correct forum. Please be aware of where you are posting so as to receive a quicker response.

To remove the game info, you will have to manually search the gameex.ini file for the entry, change it from True to False, then save the file.

IN case anyone else is looking to do the same; The line you need to set to False is about 1/6th of the way down in the gameex.ini.

Enablepopupdescriptions=True 

now=

Enablepopupdescriptions=False

 

Looks so much cleaner now with the (wrong) info gone.

If anyone has a mameinfo.dat for 175, i'd be interested

Hey, if you got 5,000 games, that would make about 500 of them being described right. That's too many games to give up on. Haha,
