"New Game +" Alternate Title Screen?

Hey, I've been wanting to do this for a while but never knew how to. You know how some games have alternate title screens when you complete the game (ie. you're on your New Game +) - such as KH: Chain of Memories, when you complete Sora's story and move on to Riku's, and the title screen changes from Sora to Riku - well, is there a way to do that in XP?

For instance, an ideal situation would be that you turn on a switch and that switch changes the Title Screen itself. But I'm guessing it wouldn't be that easy, and if it's possible a small script of some sort would be required.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!
 
Umm, Descretion, I don't think it's a good idea..
I wish I could fix this, but I never worked with SDK. I took a look at its Scene_Title, and couldn't make heads or tails of it.
You'll have to use events/ request a SDK compatible script.
 
This should work, just change the 2 contants ^^
Code:
class Scene_Title

  

  Alternate_title = '001-Gameover01.jpg'

  Complete_Switch = 20

  

  def main_sprite

    super

    name = $data_system.title_name

    for i in 0..3

      savefile = "Save#{i+1}.rxdata"

      if FileTest.exist?(savefile)

        file = File.open(savefile, 'r')

        3.times { Marshal.load(file) }

        switches = Marshal.load(file)

        if switches[Complete_Switch]

          name = Alternate_title

        end

        file.close

      end

    end

    @sprite = Sprite.new

    @sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.title(name)

  end

end

Ahh! Victory! Thank you very much :) And a big thanks to everyone else who's helped, silver wind in particular for the big script which would've solved my problem if that big mean SDK hadn't been in the way D:

Next stop - changing the title bgm. Haha :blank:
