Tutorial : Loading screen for the fullscreen mode - Kosnix - 05-02-2021
hello, I always found that a loading screen was missing in full screen mode that would hide the desktop when launching the games. I created one that I share with you.

First of all you will have to download the irfanview software
https://www.irfanview.com/
and a loading image:

In playnite, at the script section, in batch language:
when the game is launched:
Start [Your Gif folder]\loadingBlanc.gif
TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
when the game is closed:
TIMEOUT /T 1 /NOBREAK
taskkill /f /im i_view64.exe
You must go to irfanview settings to launch a full screen file, and select irfanview as the default software for GIF fi les

I wonder if you'd be able to get the game's Platform and do a platform specific loading screen...
