That would be why I'm asking for a screenshot. I'm trying to make a splash screen that's just the normal loading screen but it has IOSUHax graffitied in the corner.

I'm good enough at graphic design to remake it from scratch, but I'd prefer a screenshot so it looks as seamless as possible since there's no transition for the splash screen.

If I was at home I could grab a hi res snapshot with my capture card, but unfortunately I'm not at home

Thanks for the notion. Any chance you'll remember to do that when you do get home? I'd be extremely grateful.

I won't be home for several hours so someone will probably beat me to it. If not I will try to get it before I go to bed

That will do the trick. I have the Avenir font family so I can modify that to look like the Wii U Menu screen.

 

[pietempgba]

ok
also make sure to flip the background upside down because the wiiu menu boot is upside down normally

 

[pietempgba]

so are you done with the images yet

I did, but unfortunately it looked awful. There are still some differences between the Miiverse screen and the Wii U Menu screen that just isn't solvable by flipping the image and then making my changes.

Back to waiting to see if @TheCyberQuake can take a screenshot I suppose.

@Irastris hello i got the wiiu menu screen

 

[Irastris]

here you go

Thanks a ton! I'll still have to flip it since on the gamepad the backdrop is the other way around, but this is much better!

 

[pietempgba]

ok

 

[pietempgba]

so does it look good so far?

Yep, this is working out much better then the last attempt.

 

[pietempgba]

are you going to fix the stuff around the center by the wiiu menu?

What do you mean? I already did. Atleast I think I did.

 

[pietempgba]

the transparency stuff that doesnt fit the backround
the stuff around the wiiu icon and the shadows

hello?

Well this is absolutely ridiculous. The image that dimok's iosuhax loads isn't the native resolution of the gamepad (the gamepad is 854x480 while the splash image is 896x504), so I have to sit here and rebuild the fw.img over and over again until I can get this little TARGA asshole positioned properly to appear as if nothing changed but the graffiti. Attempting to use an image that is 854x480 causes a GURU Meditation freeze as well.

@dimok if you see this, can you please change that in one of your next commits if possible?
