Why aren't you using the code I gave you to take screenshots?

nope just cosmetic
you have 3 secs to read the messages so making the font bigger helps

Why aren't you using the code I gave you to take screenshots?

I modded it a little
I had hard time making preview and returning to same theme download
that's why if you check the latest patch I'm calling functions instead of using "return;"

or you mean for the last screenie I posted, I'm just used to Dscaler

 

[AbdallahTerro]

only glitch left which is not a biggie is that the custom background shows for a sec before the default gets loaded in case we launch with autoboot off
moving the background selection code further down (after b: cancel autoboot) will fix this but makes the background black for a while and the custom background only appears after "b:cancel" disappears and loading starts

I tend to keep it this way, or maybe add a fade effect for the switch

I mean all the screenshots for the update screen.

dscaler > print Screen > Paste in PSP - takes 1 sec

So any plans of adding GC Bios or custom gif? Not that i'm pushin for it, though it might be cool. I know a couple people mentioned it.

It's the same for the code I gave you.

It's beyond my basic skills
Ipl bin was used at some stage to read the font so the same can be done to show the bios
Dolphin already has this optional feature

I just hexed the ipl files and it seems they all have the movie at offset (0x100 to 0x15ee3f)
and the font at (0x1aff00-0x1fffff)

font reading from ipl was already in early revisions and it was read directly,
I believe the movie can be read the same way but I have no idea how to make use of this

edit: 2 fonts (ansi and sj)
ipl.bin:0x0-0x1fffff (start at 0x1aff00); sjis=0x1aff00-0x1fceff; ansi=0x1fcf00-1fffff
= { "/ipl.bin", "/font_sjis.bin", "/font_ansi.bin" };

if we can do it without adding anything it would be best

AbdallahTerro woah! I've been busy with finals, so I couldn't check the forum lately, but wow, what a progress you've made!

Just a thought. Have you considered using a font that has an opposite color outline or shadow behind it (black with white outline or vice versa)? That way you wouldn't have to worry about the text not being readable on certain backgrounds.

Fonts don't work like that. They are just maps for what pixels to fill in.
