I find that having to listen to that "Ea Sports blah blah blah" intro is
really annoying (petty, yes, but still grating). In F1-2002 you used to be
able to rename a couple of files to get rid of it but they've changed how
it. Anyone know how to dump the intro?
Thanks

Rename the EAIntro.bik and Eas.bik files in the 'movies' directory.

There's the EA Sport logo then it fades to the movie segment. Can you
remove the EA Sports logo intro? No keypresses seem to bypass it. The
spacebar and Esc key both work to bypass the opening movie.

as it was pointed out in some other thread: simply rename the
relevant .bik-files or whatever the file extension is to
another name. I think the EA one is appropriately called
"eas.bik" or something. The big one in there (9MB) is the intro
movie.

When it starts, I hit escape, and it goes away.

As for the EA Sport Logo, I think the game is loading at this point so it
probably wouldn't be much of an accomplishment to get rid of it.
