Cute.

Oh i know, the android thing from the android recovery menu. :P
Or the android kit kat, ice cream sandwich or the gingerbread would be cool. :D
You can make it look like a recovery screen
Fun fact: I've been working on a converter from android boot animation to this format. Unfortunately real life/side projects (both useful and stupid) have hit me hard with this one :/

At this point I'm even considering a complete rewrite, with the knowledge I gained from this one. Especially due to stuff like screen init vs no screen init and other fun stuff.

I had this idea of using RGB565 - it would reduce the color quality but at the same time you gain speed (192000 vs 288000 bytes in the case of the top screen). As such, instead of hitting ~16.5 MiB/s of read speeds, you'd only need about 10 MiB/s, which is well within the limits of the 3DS (this is for a 60fps animation).

Not much progress will be seen on this thread or the repo, but you can rest assured I'm working on it in the background ;). Alongside a complete nuking of the old format. This time I will be more careful with what I release instead of just going all "hey I made this cool thing tonight, maybe someone will like it" on it.

Alright, how do I set this up with ShadowNAND? I have tried everything. I've gotten black screen to bootCTR9 giving me error screens about the config file.
So either I am missing something or I am just dumb. But I even went to the normal A9LH V2 and it only ended up booting into corbenik, so I set up BootCTR9-pre-v1.0 and I get a boot config error.
This is just getting silly

This makes no sense, what do you mean you're getting errors? Exactly which ones?

With BootCTR9-pre-v1.0, it just says "boot config error" then shuts down at any button press. I tried with ShadowNAND and normal A9LHv2, and for shits and gigs, tried with Luma3DS with stock config file. Then I tried different boot animations and same shit.
With BootAnim9 I was able to get everything set up, but every single boot animation I try don't show the animation at boot, using folder "0" just soft locks the system with a black screen. Naming the folder pretty much anything results in the systems booting, but no animation regardless of the animation I use.

Hmm... this is pretty odd. Try with an older release? The animation I uploaded earlier will work on every version that was released.

By the way, this sounds like a mounting error. Seems the applications can't mount the SD card properly, dunno why.

I would ask if ShadowNAND had something to do with this, but I tested it with ShadowNAND, A9LHv2 with the mini-CFW, and A9LH without the mini-CFW.

I am normally against this, but my troubleshooting seems to be a bust. Would you be able to send me your working setup for BootAnim9? Maybe I am missing something, maybe it's my hardware, ect. Either way, if your set up doesn't work on my 3DS, then I know it's my end and not your end.

It should Say more than just boot config error. Could you post your configuration and its path, indluding the filename?

@Crystal the Glaceon
Here, i set it up for you, It has luma as the Primary Arm9loaderhax on root, and the bootanim9 With that gardivor thing you posted set up as luma payload (Hold Y on boot), and loads the skeith a9lh bin if you boot the animation. :)
