Anyone know where I can d/l a recompiled version of DOS mame with no nag?

I am running only 1 game in a original cab and just want it to boot to the
game...

TIA

What version of MAME? You dont need to recompile in recent versions to
turn off 'nag' screens.

Yes, but older versions don't have that option.
I'd like to acquire a few older versions w/o the
nag screens for a buddy of mine.

I tried that am an ending-up with a 8+meg file
for MAME 0.36! It should be 1.5meg or so.

That's because, I believe, you are not compressing it.
The few times I've compiled my own I got the same results.
A little over 6 meg of HD space shouldn't cause any problems I know of,
unless you are using one of those really old 5 1/4 HD, you found in 286s.
I remember the disc in side of these bad boys, gold frisbees you could
sharpen the edge of and use them like Odd Job in GoldFinger!

You neeed to run the UPX compression if you want to make it smaller but
its no necessary.

Yeh, I figured that out about an hour after posting
this. The process is automated and mine was hanging-up
during that process. I finally started to get an error
message there that pointed me to update the msvcrt.dll
file. Once done, UPX.EXE ran fine and compressed the
file.

I'm going to attempt to go after a 0.52 version now,
but can I assume the only thing (besides the source
code) that changed was the allegro drivers? Which
version was correct for that build (and the 0.61 build)?

Yep, you're right. I ran across a mention of that on
the MAME web site, but not until after posting this.
