About This File

Breaking the 30 second Startup Load Delay barrier.

Description:
This plugin allows you to set the Startup Screen load delay time to greater than 30 seconds.

You can set it for a single game, multiple games (in bulk) or per emulator.


Installing:
With LaunchBox not running, download and unblock the zip file.
Copy the contents of the file to /LaunchBox/Plugins/
    i.e.  D:\LaunchBox\Plugins\StartupScreenTime\StartupScreenTime.dll


Using:

Single game - Right-click a game and select Custom Startup Screen Time
                         Check Override and Use Startup Screen
                         Set the Delay Amount to the desired duration.
                         Click OK to save the changes.

Multiple games - Select multiple games
                               Right-click and select Custom Startup Screen Time
                               Check Override and Use Startup Screen
                               Set the Delay Amount to the desired duration.
                               Click OK to save the changes.

An emulator - Click Tools and select Emulator Custom StartupScreen Time
                         Select an emulator
                         Check Use Startup Screen
                         Set the Delay Amount to the desired duration.
                         Click OK to save the changes.


Limitations:
  -  Max load delay time is 5 minutes (300 seconds)
  -  This WILL NOT fix issues with games/emulators that use a 'loader' to start a game.
        The Startup Screen will still go away after the launched executable exits.
 

 Here's showing a games' load delay time set to 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

Sounds like you're asking about adding a 'splash screen' before (or after) the Startup (loading) Screen.  Instead, why not just add those images in with your Startup Theme?

Hi,

Where would one put this splash screen image?

The Startup Themes (Startup Screens) are located in ./LaunchBox/StartupThemes/.  

You'll need to edit your selected theme to include your image.  If editing the Default theme, 1st make a copy if its Default folder (/Default - Copy/) then edit that copy.
