You will probably need to use pictures in an auto-event.

Let me be more clear.
BEFORE the start menu/

Huh? You mean...like before the game begins or having an opening sequence showcasing the credits before the title?

You can use pictures (or panaromas) for your credits; just have them scroll downwards. If you want to have a opening sequence displaying the credits before the title page, you will need Power Mode or the AEP patch first before you can do that.

If you mean before the splashscreens on rpg maker 2k3 then you will need to download a utility that will skip the entire splash screens and start menu and then you have to make the opening sequence yourself using the event options as said above.

I cant remember what program you need to use but you could download a rpg exe file that already has the splash/start menu cut out.

Hope this helps?

Here is a quoted section for the patch.

("How to use the patch")
This patch includes everything you need for creating your own title screen
> The standard title screen will be skipped, the game starts directly at the start map.
> You can call the load menu from an event script.
> You can exit the game from an event script.
> BetterAEP is a stand-alone patch. You don't need any other patch to get it working. If you want to combinate it with another patch, apply BetterAEP at first.

To call the loading menu or exit the game, the event command "Stop Parallel Events" (or "Stop Event" in some versions) and the variable no. 3350 is used. This variable has been chosen, because most of the games don't use it.

If variable no. 3350 contains the value 1 when "Stop Parallel Events" is called, the load menu will pop up. If it contains the value 2, the game will quit. If it contains any other value, the standard "Stop Parallel Events" command will be executed.
