DOS Window

Hi,
I've searched the forums but didn't find anything related to the hiding of the DOS windows that is shown every time a rom is launched. Also, another DOS window appears when quitting from a rom. Is there any option to hide or to minimise those windows? Thanks.

Yes, it is mame (forgot to mention). I'm currently using 0.167 (and mGalaxy 5.5), but tested several versions of mame and it happens in all of them. On a fast computer you almost don't see it, but on a pentium IV the DOS window is annoying.
As far as I understand the DOS window is related with the way mGalaxy launches the games, as mentioned in the link you have provided.
Thanks for the help.

Hi BlackSun,
You're right, there's no option to hide the DOS window!
This functionality is present in the new mGalaxy version (as you can see in this code extract from the systems.xml file)
Code: Select all
<System type="Arcade">
<Name tgdb="Arcade" gb="84|ARC">Multi-system [MAME]</Name>
<Emu selected="0">
<Cmd id="0" hidden="true" name="MAME" value="-rompath "%path" %file%ext -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow"/>
</Emu>
<Extensions>.zip,.7z,.chd</Extensions>
</System>
You now have a 'hidden' parameter to hide the launching process for SOME application (because some (rare) others don't like it)
So, sorry, you'll have to wait for the next mGalaxy version release! Thanks
