I saw a super mario bros one for BootSkin.  Its like the start screen of Mario Bros and it has a mushroom going across.

I googled "mame bootscreens" and found the one that I'm currently using for my mame.  I just thought there would be more.  Couldn't find the mario bros. one.

The mario bros one would be on the site that makes BootSkin.  Look through the gallery and theres a Mario one.  Only thing I dont like about BootSkin is that the loading bar (mushroom in this case) jumps from one side to the other, so instead of going smooth, it reaches one end and immediately starts back at the other side.

Yup.

I use the same bootscreen as Dexter. Boots directly into Mamewah with the cut down version of the Arcade84 movie, absolutely ideal for that dedicated cab look if you want to hide the PC'ness of it all.

I made the FBI screen off of some arcade games... the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" one into a Bootskin for my machines.  Pretty easy to do with a Snapshot of that screen and it looks pretty neat to me.

I always wanted to parody that with one of the CIA logo and the text, "Winners Don't Sell Secrets to the Soviets".
