Title: Any suggestions for "start up" videos for a cabinet?
Post by: Timoe on August 13, 2006, 12:04:52 pm
The latest version of MaLa supports start up videos (a short video clip that plays after boot up and right before the front end launches)

Does anyone have any recommendations for start up videos?

links etc

I'm probably going to end up using the one from http://www.retroblast.com/video.html

Currently 5th down in the list.

There are a few good ones here:

I particularly like the "The Games That Time Forgot MAME Intro" video, although I personally don't want to draw attention to the word "Mame" in my own machine.

Yeah, I personaly think you get tired of seeing that same video each start-up. It's only cool for guests....
