Dukelupus AutoRun

Various types of media content are still delivered through optical discs. On the other hand, these can be equipped with Autorun functions, which automatically bring up custom menus for easy navigation through content. This is exactly the purpose of Dukelupus AutoRun, allowing you to easily design custom Autorun menus.

A cool thing about it is that you’re not taken through a setup process to make everything work, so you can see what it’s all about as soon as download is done. This also means you can have it stored on a USB flash drive along with other tools you need in your other projects.

Note that the application doesn’t contain any modern means of building an Autorun menu, and most editing narrows down to creating an INI file. However, there is a preset example you can take advantage of. When done, all files, including resource ones need to be burnt to the target disc to be fully functional.

Some degree of programming knowledge is required to build a neat menu, but you can also take it step-by-step and modify existing parameters to build something similar to the example menu. This includes up to five different configurable buttons, a link to a custom web page, as well as a picture depicting any type of content on the target disc.

As mentioned, you’re free to modify the existing Autorun.ini file, which can also be brought up through the example window. Here, you easily understand button and function associations, making it comfortable to build a custom, straightforward menu. Don’t forget to place all resource files on the disc.

All things considered, we can state that Dukelupus AutoRun might not come with a set of advanced features, but it’s the type of application to use to build a straightforward, intuitive menu for nearly any type of content you store on CDs and DVDs.
