i created an image in photoshop that i use as: bios splash screen (not all motherboards support this) windows boot screen (using bootskin) wallpaper then it boots directly to mala as my shell. if i need to work on the cabinet, i exit mala and manually start explorer. that way nobody knows it is running windows at all. the front end is configured to match the boot images, so everything is consistent during the entire boot process. the only thing that gave it away that is was running windows was the mouse pointer that shows up right before MALA starts. to fix this, i created custom mouse cursors that look like ghosts from pacman. it just has a little animated ghost visible instead of an arrow... the few people who have seen it were very suprised that it is a normal PC running windows xp. the byoac wiki has alot of great info for setting this up. |

Cool, thanks. Right now I'm using a wallpaper I made from my first mockup of my marquee, stretched to my 640x480 tv screen res. Plus a couple of Tron-themed startup screens and wav's. Using Mamewah and Visual Pinball predominantly. Good to know other options. This was as much of an artwork question as a technical question (i.e. I know one guy who wouldn't put anything but Chun Li wallpapers, side art, etc. on his cab, if he had one) |
