I've created some custom Windows XP boot screens for my galaga bartop project, but it's somewhat buried in my project thread here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=75495.0I thought I'd create a thread devoted to custom Windows boot screens so people can upload/download unique boot screens for MAME that do not require third party add ons. (it's all about sharing!)
These are easily added to your Windows XP system by doing the following:
Go to My Computer >Properties >Advanced >Startup and Recovery >Settings. Select “Edit startup options file”. Add “ /bootlogo /noguiboot” to your default operating system path (there must be a space between each switch)
It will look something like this:
Then download the custom 16-color 640 x 480 pixel BMP files I created in a ZIP file to this post.
Change the name of the file you want to use to "boot.bmp” and add it to your WINDOWS directory.(I can't upload bmp files directly here, and I included a horizontal and vertical option.
JPG files below are for PREVIEW only and are full color JPGs
The ZIP file contains the 16 color bmp files you will need.Enjoy!
