GUI Featurs Request

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. No Startup slpash Screen with Push A to continue. can you can have a 
credits button or something instead? or if a splash screen is required 
have it like the system BIOS (SMS for example) or a console themed 
image/animation.

2. Set folder directory to load games form (eg. set rom folder to 
X:\roms\marster system   then when load game is pushed it automatically 
takes you to the specified directory. Having to select load by USB then 
going through folders to find the roms can be a bit confusing for other 
people when they try to use my wii. 

3. Cover view instead of screenshots

These features on all you emulators woube be great, Namely SMSplus Genplus 
& Hugo - whic i use very often. Thanks for the great work so far!

For what it's worth, I'm not even sure if there are decent quality scans of 
every
Mega Drive/Genesis game out there on the internet. Eke-eke has expressed 
interest in
having 3D models of the actual game boxes implemented into the GUI at some point
though, but it'll probably take some time before that's finished.

Please make separated requests next time.

1)I won't remove the intro splash screen, it's there for a reason (legal 
informations
and wait for everything to initialize properly) and is seriously not long, I 
don't
really care if it annoys you. Has anyone waited long enough to see the stupid 
hidden
animation btw ? I'm curious ;-)

2)Has been requested so many times I might do it so I won't heard about this 
again.
Better idea being probably to remember the last directory used for roms and 
directly
jump to it when selecting "load by xxx"

3)Is planned, it's something I would like to see also (especially those 
beautiful jap
covers, see http://www.gamengai.com/gm_ix.php?system=megadrive&l=e) but 
screenshot
view would still remain as optional. There is indeed the problem that finding 
good
quality scan of every genesis/mega drive cartrdiges is going to be hard, while 
taking
screenshot from the emulator is incredibly easy. 
THis is not high priority however, I know the hype nowadays is about 
"coverflow"-like
stuff but the most important is that the emulator plays your favorite games
flawlessly, not how cool it is to browse your rom collection, I am right ?

Actually, yeah, I found the animation. I heard the Sonic "ring" noise after 
leaving
it idle a while ago and was like "what"? So I went back and checked it out. 
Funny
stuff.
