How do I boot with an mpg movie?

Ryan:

Is there any way play an mpg at startup then load Mame? I currently have startup of Mame32.  Just thought it would be cool to start up with a Mame movie.

Bursar:

You could create a batch file that plays the movie and then loads Mame. You may need to find a third party utility that will make the system wait the required length of time before starting Mame, otherwise it will load straight after the movie player.

Howard_Casto:

All of the windows front-ends support intro movies too.  

CM:

I do this using a command-line in my startup that launches ZoomPlayer (http://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml).

ZoomPlayer accepts movie filenames as parameters in the command line.  It will play the file with its last used setings and then close.  I like this because I can play that short 15 second animated MAME logo at boot.
