Homebrew [RELEASE] BootAnim9 - Custom boot animations for your 3DS!

[Docmudkipz]

can't wait until it becomes longer than 2-3 seconds

I've done a 17 second webm converted to this

 

[Shirako]

lol okay i guess i have to play around with this then, awesome thing

 

[WeedZ]

Assuming 30 fps and a 4GB file size limit the limit would be 497 seconds. Of course, that's a bit ridiculous.

@Shirako what are you talking about? The animation included in the distribution is about 4-5 seconds, and you can build your own if you want to

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



v0.2 as well? Try creating a small 10fps animation and try v0.1

well, same result with 0.1. i tried 0.3.1 again. this time i can get it to play both screens, but now it shuts off after the animations..

Funny to think that the project has gone so far in less than 24 hours . BTW, I'm looking for someone to maintain a 'Custom Boot Animation' thread.
Whoever's interested, please PM me.

It really is awesome to add some life to the boot screen, just haven't tried it yet because I'm still thinking what I'd put there. Expect a similar explosive response once the audio stuff is figured out.

Shutting off is completely unexpected. Try another 'arm9payload.bin'

You're the second or third guy as of today. That's why I put it in bold in the OP. Guess I'll put it even bigger now...

EDIT: Done

fair enough

That thing is the most useless but awesome thing. It just have no utility to have some animated thing at boot BUT I LOVE the idea, really nice!
I hope that some talented people will release classic retro systems boot animations...

The PSX one would be great... And the GameBoy Advance one... That reminds me lot of games haha, great work dude!

I think the animations fading to black would be softer.

 

[Docmudkipz]

I think the animations fading to black would be softer andmore pretty.

you could always convert an animation with a nice fade at the end, but I see where you're coming from

 

[Ryft]

I made a boot animation for all you Dr. Who fans!

EDIT: Moved here.

 

[WeedZ]

nvm, figured it out..

Tried all versions. None worked at all.

O3DS with this fork of A9LH installed

0.2 is working perfectly on my N3DS, I'll be releasing my custom gif in a few minutes.

You need a fork with screen init enabled. Aurora's fork disables that(read ".../tree/noscreeninit"), hence why the AuReiNand payload also doesn't show the splash if you have Aurora's fork. The precompiled version of Delebile's fork in Plailect's guide has screen init enabled and will work with this.

Here we go, I made it as minimal as I could.

Thanks to @Docmudkipz for the .sh script for converting the GIF.

Nice project!

I use AuReiNand as my CFW. If I replace my A9LH with one with screen init so the animation will show, will that bring back the 3D bug in reinand?

No 3D bug for me.

 

[Apache Thunder]

Current builds of most CFWs have screen de-init now, so 3D bug is pretty much a thing of the past.

Also, does this allow 3D top screen animations or are they limited to 2D?

Also a bit of a tall order but a boot sound effect is pretty much the last thing to do before it's perfect. You would need to figure out sound init though. Good luck with that.

If this makes it's way into Aureinand, I may try and do a classic Nintendo DS boot animation.

I remember making one for MoonShell 1.71 back in the day.
