For my standup MAME cabinet I want to run a loop of old commercials as my screen saver when it's not in use. I have found a bunch of websites that have commercials from Atari to X-box. I've using ?Avi Screen saver" as the program to play them randomly. Like this one has over 1800 commercials. So sweet...

What I still can't find is the old Final Fantasy 6 (3 in US) commercials. I've found screen shots, which means someone has to have the original commercial some where. Just wondering if anyone happens to have it or have a link to it. Tried googling for it couldn't find it.
Thanks

That is a brilliant idea. I don't suppose there is a bit torrent with all of them.

That's an awesome idea man, Im trying to download all of them tonight. If I don't use up all his bandwith I'll .zip them and mirror on my site (or as much as I can) ;)

sorry i don't have the ff you're looking for. i don't know if your idea has ever been mentioned before, but it is definitely a trip down memory lane watching these old-school videos. the gaming-age site also has a ton of print media advertisements that are equally enjoyable to view.

There was a rom burner who had alot of rare stuff like that....might have been Tombstone? Don't think he does it anymore......

ften are you able to use the .mov files as screensavers too? Mamewah doesnt support them and judging by the name of the program you use "AVI Screen Saver" that doesn't either. WinMPG Converter doesn't seem to work very well and you have to convert them 1 at a time, and most of these files on the site are .mov :(

Here is a link to the screen saver program, but it plays the mov fine.

Lol, a little behind the ball on this thread... Atari had some awesome old commercials.
