You could use a program like CPViewer to do what you are originally asking - http://www.emuchrist.org/cpviewer/ Basically in your front end, you tell it to run CPV first, which displays a picture of your choosing, then upon any button press, the picture goes away and the game launches. |

I thought that would be against MAME licensing? Gameroom maybe... --- End quote --- Yeah, you might want to check company policy, running a copy of MAME with unlicensed roms in the workplace, even if set to free play is a potential legal problem for the company and may end up being picked up in various software audits etc. Your boss, or his boss, might not be too happy if that happens and you might find yourself out of a job (or if it's your company, with a hefty fine) |

I've made a mame arcade cab for my gameroom, but i want to put it in my office. I've printed my company's logo and "branded" my cabinet but I think it would be Really cool to display it onscreen too. This is not for commercial use etc. ??? --- End quote --- Just use a frontend and give it your company's logo as a theme, I suppose. --- End quote --- This would potentially be the easiest and the most.. 'modest' choice. Having your company's logo prominantly displayed on the screen between game selections as part of a skin makes it clear that it's provided by your business to your employees for their enjoyment and well-being. Inserting it as a splash before every single game launched on the system would almost imply that your company had something to do with the game's production. Though most people would easily be able to tell you simply branded the system to fit in with the corporate image and/or culture. I've set up 4 cabinets at my office, the nag screen is removed and there isn't any real side-art on them other than stickers employees put on them from time to time. Just the company logo replacing the hyperspin intro sequence (HS is the front end on all of them) and the nag screens are removed so it just goes as seamlessly as possible into the games. I also made it a point to include a 'Powered by MAME(tm) and Hyperspin' textline at the bottom of the screen during game selection. I've always felt it important that if you were using something created by someone else in a degree such as having an arcade cabinet outside a home, that it was important that people using it would know full well that while you did some of the work to get it all together, you didn't do it alone. Epic rambling aside, Just remove the nag screen and put your company's branding on the front-end's skin. |

I didn't scroll through all of the replies to see if this was covered or not, but could he have his front end launch the .png from an external application at the launch of each game with a batch file? |

Wouldn't a home office count as personal use and not commercial? Dunno. As for the logo suggestion, +1 on adding it to your BIOS boot up (if it supports it). But CP viewer sounds like it will fit the bill nicely, although it may be more difficult to implement. D |
