Can I remove as many loading intros as I can when booting the cartridge? (like the gameboy splash screen or the ez-flash text screen)

I was really looking forward to this theme from timdmackey, but it looks like it's not coming out. It's a shame, because it's visually stunning.

So about that....life got in the way when I was working on this 4 year ago, and then I barely touched my GBA until just recently. I booted it up again recently and remembered about this custom theme (it's still on my EZ Flash!)

If I can remember/relearn how to build this kernel, I'll try to get my theme posted somewhere for people to use 😄.

Hey timdmackey, I also loved how your theme looked and would love to try it out!

You may find it easier to use the Customiser tool I built for my own kernel. It's actually built on the great work by Sterophonick et al. for the Simple theme.
It's super easy to use, and would hopefully simplify the process for you. You can disable my start screen, or turn it into a list, change every asset, colour, and text etc. within the program. The source is included too for more involved changes like new fonts.

Cheers!

Wow that's a super nice kernel and implements a number of the features I was wanting to add myself! (Favourites!) Theme switching and a more graphical interface are two things I wanted to figure out too. Very nice!

small update: I could not get a repair or replacement from the store I bought it from, it's been more than their 12 month warranty period, so I followed this to see if I can fix my cart myself: https://gbatemp.net/threads/basic-repair-guide-of-current-ez-flash-products.601332/

```
5. EZ-FLASH OMEGA Definitive Edition boots with no Nintendo logo.
a. The crystal oscillator on board is damaged, Replace it can fix the problem, the type of the crystal oscillator is OSC 3.3V 3225
```

Above describes the symptoms of the cart, so I ordered new crystal oscillators, same specifications required and I replaced it, unfortunately it still won't boot, I tried 6 spare oscillators just to be sure, I checked everything else on the board and everything seems to be fine including the A/B switch, all pins and traces, I can only presume that the IC or flash has died somehow

guess I will have to order a new one at some point

I have a similar issue with my omega (not DE).
Please can you share where did you bought the cristal oscillator replacement?
