GUI Featurs Request

Original [issue 79](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=79) created by rich333 on 2010-05-06T01:51:19.000Z:

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.
