Now loading video?

[rockyrocket]

Hi,

This may already be possible, but is there a way to play a now loading or an intro avi or such at specific times?

What i mean is for example as visual pinball loads playing a 5 second clip then going back to the emu.

The also launch option from advanced config may be the way to go but it would have to grab focus and then shutdown to return to the loading game.

So anyone know how to launch an avi and then get the player to close down?

I suppose this should be possilbe with ahk Shouldn't it?

Also is it possible to play an intro vid for each emulator or just the main start up movie?.

Thanks.

You can use AVIs for icons, but I don't think there's a way to launch a startup video upon loading an emulator. You can always use a startup video for GameEx though as far as I know.

Hi,

What i am thinking is a standalone player that will play a loading screen then shut down out of the way.

Just been talking this over with someone more knowledgable than myself who suggests a giff launched from a script,

or vlc can apparantly be run from the commandline then would just need the right switches.

He seems to think a colleague could throw together something and package it as an EXE but we will see.

Anyway i resolve to learn Autohotkey this year!.
