Title: Loading picture when I run a game
Post by: empardopo on March 24, 2016, 04:01:24 PM
I am an user of the Mala frontend.
In Mala is possible to see a picture when I launch a game of my list.

How can I show a picture in my window for x seconds before the game runs?

Thanks in advance.

Hyperspin does this also, it's a cool feature. I have no idea how to do it.  :)

I'll check it using AM.

Possibly adding a Transition.ToGame callback? I would assume that attractmode wouldn't launch the game until this transition is complete? I'll experiment with this soon. If it works how I think, this could be implemented as part of a layout or a plugin.

This can be done with Rocketlauncher. You can use it together with Attractmode (or any other frontend for that matter), and just set up "fade" in the options and then you can have any image you want pop up on the screen for any number of seconds that you want before the game begins :)
