Booting to Mame or FE
brian nalley:
I am in the process of building a cabinet, and trying to narrow down my Front End... ArcadeFX, Emulaxian, Raging Dragon, and a French one called A-Player are the ones I am playing with. I like how A-Player will start up with a movie...this is a feature I think would be cool to have on a Cabinet. Anyway, I was wondering if there is a way to have windows boot right to a Front-End or a specific program? I am a bit new to this stuff (hence not using a DOS based FE, which every cabinet int he world seems to run =)
Thanks for the help!

I'm in windows 98se. I just make a shortcut to what I want to boot in the startup folder, (in the startbar). Now if I could figure out how to make the startbar not display in windows during the boot!?!

i dont know if this will work or not but make the taskbar autohide so it only displays when u hover ur mouse over it. dont know if it will work but u could give it a try if u havent already.

For the record RD will start up with a movie as well just name it intro.mpeg and put it in your RD directory. I believe emuwizard and aFX wil do this as well.

Thanks, but actually, even if you have auto hide on, the taskbar displays until windows is done loading, then it hides. I'm needing it to be gone the whole time. -Dr. J
