Id also lke to know what updates. I updated mine to not show toolbar but I have not posted it due to the popularity of this one. Is there an update to nulldc? I guess Im a little confused.

I just hide the OS completely. Works for both XP and Vista! Set background to black while loading ROM and also hide the task bar in case not already hidden by GameEx. Just makes things clean. No sign of the OS except for maybe the mouse cuz of the way this emulator handles trapping the mouse on top of the screen if moved. But only way do to fix that is to use the same approach as nomousey and use a transparent cursor. I may do that as well since can be used globally on all emulators if not using Tom's Instant Sheller. And new process watcher called Emu_Janitor which still watches the process and set's desktop settings back to normal in the event that the wrapper is forced to close.

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent 

Blockinput on ; Keeps users from messing up loader my pressing buttons and moving mouse
rom = "%1%" ; error level (rompath romfile) gives friendly name as ROM
clipboard= ; clears clip board
clipboard=%rom% ; inserts errorlevel as friendly name
ClipWait
Run, KillEmu.exe ; Runs senond procees to map esc to kill emulator upon pressing ESC
SetBatchLines -1


   Gui +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow  ; No title, No taskbar icon
   Gui Color, 0                           ; Color Black
   Gui Show, x0 y0 h%A_ScreenHeight% w%A_ScreenWidth%, HSHIDE
  ;WinSet Transparent, 200, A             ; Can be semi-transparent
   MouseGetPos X, Y                       ; Remember pos to return
   MouseMove %A_ScreenWidth%,%A_ScreenHeight% ; Move pointer off screen
Run, nullDC-Naomi_1.0.3_nommu.exe ; launches emulator
WinWait, Open, Open as &read-only
IfWinNotActive, Open, Open as &read-only, WinActivate, Open, Open as &read-only
WinWaitActive, Open, Open as &read-only ; waits for load dialog
Sleep, 100
Sendplay,^v ; sends rompath romfile from clipboard
Send, {enter} ; loads roms by pressing enter
Sleep, 7000 ; Gives time for loading to finish before unhiding desktop
Gui Destroy                            ; Remove blinds from desktop
Blockinput off ; Allows user to send inputs so games can be played
Process, WaitClose, nullDC-Naomi_1.0.3_nommu.exe

Not yet. I will submit the link this weekend to it. Weekends are bad for me as I have my daughter on the weekends and am not by my usual computer to send.
