==========

AdvanceMENU can use static snapshot images (PNG,PCX,ICO), animated shapshot 
clips (MNG) and sounds (WAV,MP3). They aren't required but are very useful 
to remember games.

Some examples are available in the file = "examples.zip". 
Check the contained readme.txt file for suggestion on how to create your 
collection of video and sound snapshots.
