which logo are you trying to show? Please share it here and I will try with the same.

maybe do a test with @animefreak89’s logo that he just showed working properly here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-boot-logo-for-switch.569031/page-14#post-9792923

Assuming yiu don’t rename the image the command would be:

python gen_patches.py animefreak89 image.png

this would generate a new directory called animefreak89 that you would move to /atmosphere/exefs_patches/ on your sd card.
For now I’m just using the ones from the OP. I’m trying to get the Mario to boot

This one?

Everything looks good.

here’s the command line for this one:

python gen_patches.py mario_jump mario_logo.png

Once this finishes simply copy the resulting mario_jump directory on your PC to /atmosphere/exefs_patches/ on your switch.
Then delete the /atmosphere/exefs_patches/mario_logo directory from your switch and reboot.

do custom boot logos currently work on FW 14.0 / AMS 1.3.0?

Are you saying even tho the files in the OP are already made I still have to remake them? Cuz I have just been dropping in the made folders from OP

At some point need to be remade based on the new Firmware, yes. If they are still working for you then that’s great. My instructions are mostly for folks to self service create these and their own logos now and in the future.

Closest we have is a batfile with the commands pre done all you need to do is drop your image on the batfile, that's how I do mine

I suppose somebody could create a static exe package to avoid the python hassle. Having a good Python environment helps with other stuff outside of switch as well though. :-)

You still need a working Python environment though, right? That’s the part most people struggle with. Cats like you, Soda, are way past that part!

i have installed a python enviroment already i only dont like to work with cmd lines

I hear you man but consider that the sentence you just typed is way longer than the command required to run it.

gen_patches.py mario mario.png

i could shorten it even further by renaming the command. Something like this:

gp.py dir img.png

17 characters. 🤣

Post in thread 'Share your custom Atmosphere (fusee-secondary) bootlogos.' https://gbatemp.net/threads/share-y...fusee-secondary-bootlogos.532018/post-9738345

That file has the batfile & python all in one it works as a standalone package.
I'm pretty sure it would be adapted and I'm almost certain I adapted that zip from something that did switch logo replacements originally.

Bat is literally running a python command;
```
@Echo off
python38\python.exe insert_splash_screen.py 1.png package3
echo ----------------------------------------------
echo if any errors output above the line happen you may need to
echo put a new copy of package3 in the bat folder
echo otherwise if you have 0 errors, you are finished.
pause

```

I'll have a look for the file I use when I boot my pc up tomorrow if needed.

I use that every Atmos update and inject a 1px transparent PNG doubt it speeds anything up but the original atmosphere bootlogo is pointless. I have 2 splashes the grey scale Atmos icon & IPS patched switch logo.
I reboot a lot when I'm working on layout stuff so less logos for me.

Very clever! That‘s 90% of the battle!

Knowing what you do, I can see reboots being painful.

(Mine looks like NASCAR when booting up.)

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
