startup sound

[Simon Schamijer]

Thanks for the replies which included the information i needed. I tried 
those instructions on the cheat page out - fun. The entry in the wiki 
about the 'Left directional pad' should probably be changed, since it 
seems to disable the pretty boot now. I changed that on the wiki please 
revert if this is not correct.
