Random Game Start Up Screen in Maximus Arcade

I would like to have a random video to play everytime I start the cab. Is this possible in MA?

If not I thought it would be a nifty little app to have, that way everytime you turn it on you get a different experience.

Also, was thinking is it possible to randomise background sounds in MA?

Looking at adding the arcade ambiance (courtesy of Andy Hofle) to the background to give a real arcade feel and thought it would be cool to have different eras playing everytime the machine boots up!
Flake:
Yes you can run random "movies" everytime you start up MA.  In the preferences screen, under the options tab, there is a startup movie tab.  There should be a checkbox to play random movies (you'll have to point/browse MA to the folder where the movies are held).  Thats it. 

Not sure about "randomising" background sounds in MA.  I have arcade ambiance running in mine but I'm not sure if it always starts out with the same "era" or not.  Since its background noise I dont usually pay that close of attention.

Ahhhh! You are right, found the little bugger!

Thanks for that! I can't believe I didn't see it! Must be all the excitement! ;D

Is there a way to randomise the game start up screen?

For example, I want different Marvel quotes when I start a game like "It's Clobbering Time" or "Come and get us web head" or "Venom wants to play!" or "Spider sense... tingling", etc.

Is there anyway to do this?
