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

[Temptress Cerise]

I BELIEVE so. The backlight turns on for a second, off for 3, and then back on when the homescreen starts. From what I'm reading, that's screen init isn't it?

Yup. Just re-read your original post. Can you rename the 1 folder to 0, and see what happens.

AHHHH! That was it! I guess I just instinctively thought 1 comes before 0! lol, thanks for the help!

Anyone got any idea's on this one? a9lh works perfectly fine. This is what I did.

made an anim folder in the root of my sd card.
made a 1 folder in the anim folder.
moved arm9loaderhax.bin from the root of the sd card to the anim folder.
renamed arm9loaderhax.bin to arm9payload.bin

extracted arm9loaderhax.bin from the BootAnim zip to my sd card root.
extracted the animation file anim to the 1 folder.

So this SHOULD play the animation. Instead it seems to just skip it and load straight into the homescreen.

First animation has to be called "0", not "1".

EDIT: nvm, the lag hit me hard apparently

 

[Docmudkipz]

made a 1 folder in the anim folder.

The folder sequence starts with 0, not 1. Should work after you change it

 

[EarlAB]

So I basically need to move my existing arm9loaderhax.bin file to /anim/ (and rename) and then move the downloaded arm9payload in the root of the SD card or is it the other way around?
It just sounds a little confusing.

Thats it, bootanim9(The one you downloaded) should be arm9loaderhax.bin on the root and your old should be renamed arm9payload.bin in the anim folder

I don't understand how to creat an animation on mac.
I have my gif but I really don't know how to continue.

Use the .sh script from the scripts from here https://github.com/docmudkipz/makeanim/releases Its best to open it with a terminal and make sure its in the same directory as the animation you want to convert

Been using BootAnim9 for several months and everything has worked fine. Today however I updated my A9LH (so that i can boot without SD) and now my BootAnim9 wont work! When I put the luma3ds arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of my sd card it can boot fine both with and without the SD card inserted however when BootAnim9 is set up and I boot with the SD inserted the screen never lights up, it simply stays black. I really want my BootAnim9 working and I would really appreciate any help I get <3

I tryed it a few times now, but it allways says "This file is too large after compression, so it will be deleted. Try reducing the framerate." when i try to compress it...
Even when I set the fps to 1! My gif is 3MB. Is this way to large?

If you updated your a9lh add make it arm9loaderhax_si.bin

Dont compress it, and your the acutal size of the gif doesnt do anything for what the final size is

Now it says "rm: output.bin: No such file or directory".

makeanim.sh and my gif are in the same directory. :/

 

[Docmudkipz]

Use this one

Why are the animations so slow?
Old3DS only issue due to limited CPU?

30fps animations work fine on my o3ds. Have you tried a 30fps animation?

I don't know what you mean.
I have the N64 boot screen and the "Cool Shit" splashes but both only go about 5-15 fps.
