MAME Attract Movie Generation Script
So in order to keep up with the developement of MAME, I've created a script to generate an attract movie.
to run the script you mush modify the options relevent to your setup.
The 2 configurable optios are;
::: DEBUG OPTIONS
This is optional - this is where you can troubleshoot the script
::: USER OPTIONS
Here is where you set your local directories, movie length and output options.
Below is the script - copy and save as a .BAT
Enjoy....
