Pop Up Menu Automatically Populates?

Unread post by sbnr21 »

Whenever I start the NES core, I always get that grey pop up menu.

What can I do to disable it from automatically populating?

Thanks.

Do you mean the core menu? If you place a cartridge rom named boot1.rom in the NES directory, MiSTer will load it directly without opening the core menu. If you for whatever reason just want a black screen, you could try using a blank rom.

yeah the core menu.

I have a boot rom, but it never gave me a problem until a few months ago.

I was hoping the update all script would fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Do you only have one boot rom? Which one? There can be up to four.

I have the FDS bios as boot0.rom and and a cartridge rom (240p test suite) as boot1.rom. With this setup, the core launches boot1.rom automatically and does not show the core menu unless I press the menu button.
