Way to set a message or popup before a game loads?

[methodical]

Is there a way to set MA to show a message before a game loads? I want something to pop to say "Hit the Player 1 Coin Button to eliminate any noise while playing." (or something to that effect) before DS games.

Yes, you can enable a loading screen then make one in the theme editor that has what you want on it
The only problem is I think that there is only one loading screen so you could only do it for one emulator

That will work, I only wanted to have it pop up before DS games. Thanks a lot, I'll try it out tonight.

wait.... there's already a DS emulator?

[methodical]

yes, it's called No$GBA

There's also a program to launch it called No$Zoomer that will make it full screen and enable a few other features (such as a noise suppressor).

It works very well except there's a lot of noise. The noise suppressor works very well but for some reason there isn't a way to keep it on, need to hit a key to turn it on every time you load a game, and some times multiple times during games... hence my want for an alert telling people what key to hit to suppress any noise they might here during play.

Under config. where do you select Nin. DS?

[BobA]

No config for NDS so you have to select a config you are not using such as Sinclair ZX and use it for your NDS program.
