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

Convert to wave, then use it as your start-up sound. However, you want to time how long it takes for your front-end to load, then edit the music to fade around that point. That way it won't play over your frontend.

Ah, gotcha. I really can't think of a way to do that.
