xp boot screens? (mame related...or custom)
SoundDoc:
There are two Programs I've used:
BootXP www.bootxp.net
ChangerXP www.nihuo.com/changerxp.html
I Prefer BootXP's themes, and you can just throw any jpg, gif, bmp, or theme availiable online into it, and you still get the nice rotating progress bar. Best program by far.
Changer XP has a great option that you can have it change the boot screen on startup, so each time you start, you have a different boot screen, and also lets you select any image(s) and will auto format them. but it doesn't support some of the cool boot screens I like, has a nag screen, and is always resident, taking a little resources. But it also can change the wallpaper, windows theme, bootscreen, screensaver etc... as a theme.
Hope this helps!

Seriosuly are people actually putting in cabs and wating a liscence fee on Windows - when linux would work just as well and then you could ue that saved money to much better use in your cab.

Sure that's a great idea... if you like no choice in emulators, no pc games, no hardware acceleration, a single god-ugly front-end and something even more annoying then the xp bootup screen.... the linux bootup sequence (which I might add often takes a few minutes as opposed to a few seconds.)
Sorry to just tell it like it is, but you asked for it.
Linux users have such tunnel vision. ;)

And you don't? You're contstantly bashing Linux, and it is, more often than not, what you say it is.
No hardware acceleration? In what dimension? No emulators? Last I knew there was an emulator for almost every platform.
If you're going to spread FUD, please make it informed FUD. This may have been the case five years ago, but Linux has come a long, long way.

oh no, another post turned into a slugfest fanboy session! i thought i was just involved in one a few days ago?? does a mamed centipede cab ring a bell?? ANYWAY, i dont think im gonna need a bootup screen afterall, because for some reason the tv that im using doesnt like the bootup sequences of windows and while its booting up, will just roll up and down on the screen in black and white until it gets to the windows logon screen and then its just fine. i guess thats either the tv or my video card that doesnt register until its in windows. weird.
