XP bootscreen randomisation - possible?
« on: April 28, 2009, 06:17:47 am »
Hi guys,

Is it possible to have a whole bunch of bootskins in a folder somewhere and have one chosen at random on each boot? Maybe a little app that launches Bootskin silently at shutdown and configures the next boot?

Just thought it might be nice to have it do something different each time it's fired up.

Cheers

Scratch that I've found something. Not played with it yet mind.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Bootskin has a random function built in. I used to use it all the time.
