    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end
end

Basically looks for the lines with the code :-

    # This is the image that will be displayed and faded into before the title.
    @sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('Menu')
    # This code changes how long it takes to fade in, 100 = 10 secs 10 = 1 sec
    # etc etc
    Graphics.transition(100)

What this is, has basically been explained by the comments i left you...e.g. the line:-

@sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('Menu')

Set the image that will be called from your picture folder, so say you call the logo 'Intro Logo' then you would have to change that to 'Intro Logo' for it to appear, remember to always have the ' at the beginning and end of the image name otherwise it wont call upon it.

Now for the line:-

Graphics.transition(100)

What this line does is it fades into the the logo and then goes into the title screen menu, so basicall depending on how long you want it to last for depends on the number you have within the brackets, which has been explained in the script comment.

e.g.

100 = 10 Secs
10 = 1 Sec
1 = 0.1 Sec

etc etc

Hope that helped yo uunderstand it a little better. Oh btw you can either replace scene_title with this code, or you can put it above main, depending on if you want to do something later but aren't sure on the consequences etc etc.

Enjoy XD
