Script Splash Screens Over Long loading times/BIGBOX

[Cnells2000]

Is there a way to make the cmd windows appear behind the loading screen and/or make a script for my Teknoparrot Section to have a splash screen for about maybe 40 secs before the game pops up. teknoparrot takes a while to begin the games. those cmd windows are annoying. thanks in advance.

In LaunchBox you could add the parameter: --startMinimized to your command-line in the Edit Emulator setting for TeknoParrot. Obviously this launches TeknoParrot minimized so it doesn't interfere with the startup screens. Also in TeknoParrot's settings there is an option "Hide Console Window". You could try that as well. (Although I doubt if it actually works.)  You can set the duration for the startup screen per game . The maximum length is 30 seconds. After that you get a black screen for 10 seconds (with a startup time of 40 seconds for your game.) With startup screens you can also try the option "Hide all windows that are not in exclusive fullscreen mode". But with TeknoParrot you have to set this on a per game basis because, with this option checked, it can hide some games completely behind the startup screen and they won't show up at all.
