Agreed, setting to Viewer.
We are not interested in any bugs report that have not been verified with normal, unadulterated build which do not take in account the displayed game flags and warnings. They are there precisely in MAME for this reason and to take the ability to view them out (through no nag patches) and expect 100% working games only wastes everyone's time when we have to close all your reports.

Indeed, please don't come back.

You've only got to google kmhamel + MAME to see this user is a prime example of why such patches are considered damaging and only cause immense amounts of wasted time for people verifying reports etc. Many posts about 'no nag' builds, no nag patches etc. then not an iota of consideration for what those screens might have been telling him.
