Hacking Share your custom Hekate bootlogo thread

[Admiral124]

This is not for hekate but is for ReiNX if you want it delete the splash.bin on ReiNX folder and replace with this one

How do you create a custom splash.bin?

How do you create a custom splash.bin?

Well, this stuff doesn't really belong in the Hekate thread, but basically just create an image (1280x720 in this case -- still counter-clockwise rotated) and convert it to BGR (or maybe this too requires alpha? I think it doesn't however.) You can use this tool to do that probably. (It was made for the 3DS, but I presume it doesn't do any resizing or anything and it's basically the same in every other way.) Well, I'm pretty sure anyway...

That said, I will admit I am glad to have a ReiNX image that features the original Rei character. The new character threw me off. That's not Rei! Lol.

not hekate but ReiNX will be sorting one for hekate at some point.

That's a thing of beauty, could you please share the bin file ?

Unfortunately that 3DS tool isn't going to do the job. Since the bin stores raw pixels to fill each device's framebuffer with, one isn't going to be compatible with the other. The bits per pixel of a 3DS generated bin is too low and will result in a distorted image and doesn't take into account the height stride of the switch. 48 unused pixels per line.
I have made a tool that can do all this for you, however, if you'd like to try it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/splashmakerswitch.512634/

That is ingenious...But I gotta request for someone (if anyone is taking requests). I like the band metallica. and would like the throwing star (load album) to show up on mine..Could someone put one together for me like that? That'd be sweet. Or one like this thing here https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/5a/6b/4e5a6b4af77e746f6906b5d13f3e4b59.jpg I definitly like that black background and the white lettering kinda stuff.

Aww man I like this one too https://img00.deviantart.net/73e1/i/2012/342/8/4/walpaper_metallica_by_gabrielgh-d5ndyll.png How do u make these show up on the switch? I wanna make one of these.

Edit...saw the guy directly above me lol. But idk how to compile that stuff so i'll figure it out one day.

There is a compiled version in the releases section, ready to go. The only requirement would be resizing images on your own.

Oh ok thanks i'll check it out. So once it's done u just delete the one that's in their and replace it with the one I made and rename mine to what the old one was named?

That's correct. Just let me double check with you however, this is for creating a .bin, yes? My tool doesn't support bmp output at the moment, but I could add that fairly easily.

Idk what your talking about yet...but i'll learn I guess. But I made two .bin files real quick and it says in the program canvas size 1280x720...Is it saving it to that size already? Like I don't need to resize it? I'm not sure what I would need A bmp for.

Both files even though the source files are different sizes came out to 3.75MB so I take it if I use those the images on the switch might be skewed A bit? Since they wasn't originally the perfect size.

Okay, easier question. Is this for ReiNX? If it is, any BIN you save with my program will work. The size will always be correct.

Atmosphere is what i'm using. With the ummm..u know..good stuff. Guess if u really wanted to do this right & make it look professional like the others here u would have to make an image from the get go with this in mind with the right 1280x720 res and all that so it showed up exactly like u made it and wasn't skewed and all that. But I am by no means A creative person so i'm just jackin some image online and makin it do.

Okay. I haven't tested Atmosphere myself so I can't guarantee compatibility. I'm sorry. I'm looking at the bitmaps in the thread right now and I can get support for them out in a few minutes.

All good..So do I need A bmp/PNG or just .bin? If I throw one of the ones I made on my switch what's the worst that could happen? Not show the image at all right?

BMP or BIN depending on your setup and pretty much, yeah.
