Ability to play random intro when you have multiple intros?

Hello, i have a question/request... ahem,

I collect the start ups of many consoles in HD format, is there a way that Hyperspin can play one at random when you start up Hyperspin, so one day it will play the Sega Dreamcast start up, then a few hours later when i start it up again the Nintendo Gameboy Advance start up, then a few days later the Sony Playstation or the Atari Jaguar or panasonic 3DO or Amiga 32, etc, etc....?

I really like the idea of Hyperspins startup being the default start up of the consoles it supports.

Please get back to me with any response as to how you feel about this idea or whether or not Hyperspin currently supports this ability and if it does how i can go about initiating it, thank you.

I would like to see something like this also. Naming would be like "Super Mario Bros. (USA).mp4" if only 1 video. Each additional video could be "Super Mario Bros. (USA)-2.mp4" "Super Mario Bros. (USA)-3.mp4" etc.

That's just an example, but would mostly be used for system intro vids more then individual games.

oh noes :( i have to buy a subscription? of $20 for the initial first month to download it? I have considered making a donation to this site, ive donated $20 to undergroundgamer.com and bitgamer.com for their tireless efforts, but an additional $5 a month... hmmm you might think im cheap for having a problem with this, but i dedicate most of my money to assisting charities and funding a non profit organization i founded 2 years ago and therefore cut many personal indulgences of $5 here $10 there and another $15 here.... imo, if its not crucial to my survival, then i deny myself it :( im sure in the future though once i get my hyperspin project completed ill donate $20, as being a huge retro gamer myself, i want to support those who fuel one of the few indulgences i allow myself.

Thanks for the link Circo and the timely response, i greatly appreciate it, Happy New Years! =D

No you do not have to buy a subscription. Are you talking about the subscription choices at registration that has this disclaimer next to them:

wow, its been just over 2 years, I finally treated myself and got some hardware to help me complete my little project, i was surprised to find that when i came back her 2 weeks ago someone after 2 years posted in this thread, and even more surprised to see this individual having the same problems I'm currently having from 2 years ago! has there really been no solution to getting randomiser to work with random intros when you start up hyperspin, or has the solution just not been posted? either way I'm working on it again so if i find out how to accomplish this i WILL post it for everyone. (sooooo happy to be working on this project again =D )

You always could write a script to randomly copy and rename one of the videos to the expected video name by Hyperspin and have it kick off right before HS launches. Not really that difficult a task either.
