Homebrew Discussion Can we please relax with the Boot logos?

[SeongGino]

It's a piece of trash though LOL.

On topic: if you don't like the default behavior so much that you can't bear sitting through a few logos every other month, feel free to recompile with the wait commands taken out. 'Tis the beauty of FOSS.

Again, you can't for Sept without a key that none of us have.

Point still stands, we're talking about the difference of less than ten seconds; ten seconds that no one should need to undergo often enough for it to be a problem.
Sidenote: pretty sure you only need your own keys if you're building with the expectation of supporting firmwares that don't have keys available for it. At least, that's what the build docs suggest.

Right cause its hard for people to replace boot logo's if they plan to steal the work...

Sept bootlogo can't be changed easily. It uses a signed binary that the encryption key isn't public for. Everyone was expecting SX to not be able to sign their own version and that we would have a sept bootlogo in SX OS, which would have been funny but ended up not being the case.

The above shows about 20 seconds of waiting from pressing the power button to getting the Horizon boot logo.
I believe one of these is a hekate custom bootlogo (from my configuration), but that's the only boot logo I want and need, why does every single step of the way believe to want a bootlogo.
Hekate: bootlogo
Fuse-primary: debug text (basically bootlogo)
Sept: bootlogo
atmosphere (custom?): bootlogo
atmosphere (built in): bootlogo
then finally, horizon's bootlogo
then finally at the switch setup intro movie.

The custom atmosphere one I can get rid of, but the rest i'm unaware.

I agree, it does look a bit ridiculous. But you can look at it this way, the amount of bootlogos reminds you of how active the Switch scene is with so many talented devs working on stuff. Can't blame them for wanting credit for their work

 

[cucholix]

Don't power off your Switch?

Can we yes? Pfft

Muhntopic: as previously stated, Sept and atmosphere takes quite a while to load, having that said, with or without splashes the difference would be like 1 or 2 seconds(?). Why bother?

Why do sx market? Why bother me with a bad meme? I'll never know.

Yes, but that requires using reinx.

Nice meme.

Nope, but I've seen multiple times people complain about logos it's either the things are doing stuff in the background or have something todo with timing. I however don't mind the logos since I reboot my switch like every new moon. So I hardly see them at all. Plus if they bug anyone, they can just edit the source code and remove said logos. And see if they boot faster.

why don't you leak the master kek and release your own cfw? :shrek:

 

[tabzer]

lmao it isnt tho

It's more like a wagon you have to drag behind your hopes and aspirations for the scene.

 

[TheZander]

I'm going to put this whole thread as the boot logo to my next cfw.

 

[ZeroFX]

lmao it isnt tho

Atmosphere ctrl+c ctrl+v, closed source that sells open source, brick code lmao, good luck.

Hekate, yea that bootlogo definitely does add extra time if enabled. Fusee-primary’s “”””bootlogo”””” (literally just a bit of text) is only shown for like half a second lol. Fusee-secondary runs the same with and without it’s bootlogo. Sept, dunno I can’t really test that. The second atmosphere one is a result of replacing the boot sysmodule, this logo doesn’t add any additional time to the normal start up time

 

[hippy dave]

This thread still going, huh?

It's already been discussed that these modules do add delay time and show these splash screens during that time. I am not complaining, but that is how it is written in the code. Check above for the "threadmark".

Ah Pragma, weren't you the one who tried to 'crack' SX OS? Ironically now you speak about hacking boot logos. Thought you'd know that sept is encrypted and you can not simply replace the boot logo

I’ve tested everything I claimed in my previous post. So uh

 

[TheZander]

This thread reminds me of the old days in Windows where it was a wildly known yet little talked about trick to speed up boot times they had the obfuscated file name for the windows boot animation and sped up the whole thing quite significantly. There were actually quite a few filler boot items in the system32 folder that you could delete and rename in order for better boot speed and under certain circumstances internet bandwidth. But if you delete the wrong thing it can mess stuff up sometimes.


Anyways what I'm trying to say is delete your system32 folder. Ecspecially if you're on a mac because it shouldn't even be there in the first place

 

[tabzer]

Well, you are right that boot images themselves, do not "add time", but these bits of code do:

Sept-Secondary
/* Wait a while. */
mdelay(1500);

fusee-primary
/* Wait a while. */
mdelay(1000);

fusee-secondary
void splash_screen_wait_delay(void) {
/* Ensure the splash screen is displayed for at least three seconds. */
udelay_absolute(g_splash_start_time, 3000000);

This is also implies added wait in boot_main:
/* Display splash screen for two seconds. */
boot::ShowSplashScreen();

You say nothing of significance in regards to these bits. So uh, are we supposed to just take your word for it?
