Hacking Homebrew Remove Atmosphere splash screen

pausuri · Mar 27, 2023

Hi there, quick question: is there a way to remove the Atmosphere splash screen that comes before Atmosphere logo screen?

I set up Atmosphere a few days ago on my Oled but I didn't have that splash screen on my old Switch

Thanks

You can use the script of the source code: Atmosphere/utilities/insert_splash_screen.py https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/blob/master/utilities/insert_splash_screen.py to modify the file PACKAGE3.

Alternative you can build Atmosphère from source and change this splash and setplogo.

this script changes the splash what originally is:

he he he, that script is the more noob friendly option. The only other way is to build your Atmosphère from source and you need to generate a special formatted text file with the data.

@binkinator have a excellent thread about customize Atmosphère: https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-boot-logo-for-switch.569031/

and if you want to know how to build Atmosphère from source using MSYS you can use this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/building-atmosphere-on-windows-using-msys2.613446/

-Edit: typo

There are noob friendly tutorials for setting up a developer environment and building it yourself from source. Problem is, noob friendly doesn’t necessarily mean time friendly. And what isn’t noob friendly about using just a black pic with the script to replace the screen?

This doesnt make sense. I am using blanco atmosphere. I never had to do any weird magic. So why is my oled not having this screen, and my erista switch has this splash screen?

may be the way you load atmosphere on each, if you use Hekate you can load FSSO or use payload methods, and they show differently.

You are using fusee to load Atmosphere, you need to use fss0/package3 for remove Atmosphere splash screen. Open file hekete_ipl.ini located inside folder bootloader, find:

payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin

Replace with:

Code:

fss0=atmosphere/package3

When you load Atmosphère from Hekate using FSS0 method, the splash.bin is no shown but the boot_splash_screen_notext.inc (called Sept Logo for some people) file is shown after bootlogo defined on Hekate_ipl.ini

~~that remove sept logo not the atmosphère splash~~

--Edit: try to remove the confusion.

That's the atmosphere splash.

I think you're talking about atmosphere logo.

I am not a expert, but as far I know on the source code of Atmosphère there are two files of "Splash" displayed on boot.

As far I know, the file "/img/Splash.bin" which is show at display initialization by fusee.bin. This file is not loaded by Hekate because Hekate uses his own display initialization routine, this can be replaced on the package3 using the script provided on the source of github..

There is another "splash", is the file "/stratosphere/boot/source/boot_splash_screen_text.inc" on the source code which is show as a Custom splash screen on the second stage after screen initialization; some people call this file the "Sept Logo"

Only a psibility but if using the same hekate_ipl.ini so no difference

May be timming, ine console shows the splash so fast what you can't see it. May be

Thanks for that! It actually has worked, when the HWFLY glitching goes through after a few seconds it only pops up the Atmosphere logo no splash screen

Cheers

PS: Not really sure from the technical point of view if is it better to boot Atmosphere from fusee or package3 but hey now it is just booting the way I like

Hello there, looking on the source code we have:

"/img/Splash.bin" which is created by using originally this image:

This one can be replaced on a package3 file using the Script on the source code of Atmosphère, easy piece.

also you can create a custom splash.bin and build Atmosphère, but is no just as easy.

And "/stratosphere/boot/source/boot_splash_screen_notext.inc"

which originally is this image:

This only can be changed by replacing the file on the source and building Atmosphère.

Just writing this with the images I was aware I interchanged them on the previous post, sorry for the mixup.

I was able to remove the splash screen completely following wishky9 instructions editing the hetake.ini file
