Homebrew [A9LH]BootAnim9 Animations Thread!

[Deleted User]

Well if they want it they'll probably just steal my code and rename it GWAnim or some shit like that. Just as a reminder, my code is GPLv2, but I doubt they give a rat's ass about it

GPLv2?

 

[Majickhat55]

GPLv2?

It's the programming language.

 

[SterneSchreien]

It's the programming language.

It's not a programming language...

 

[Majickhat55]

Yeah I went to that site before, is it not just a software program used to write code? If not my mistake.

Uneducated in the subject maybe but definitely not stupid. Thanks for the assessment either way. Lol

Well, nowadays we do have something called Google. If you search "GPLv2" you'll learn that it's a software license which forces source release whenever there's a binary release. If GW were to create their own version, they'd have to release source code as well.

There's a difference between being uneducated and being lazy

For the record, it's coded in C with some asm mixed in. However when you look at the source you can tell immediately.

I understand now thx. So it looks like gateways update will delayed I was really looking forward to geting a9hl.

If youre on a firmware capable of running GW, cant you always just ditch GW and follow Plailect's guide to obtain A9LH and CFW?

Id rather not ditch my setup since im sure if i am patient i can get it though gateway, which will be safer.

To bring things back to animations:

You could try converting it using 20-25 fps but using a 30fps config, in order to "trick" BA9.
This is one of the things that I really need to get around to doing: writing a small guide with instructions on how to improve performance

This worked, thanks! Also, I think my original source wasn't compressed enough and I was getting anim files that were too big. After using a smaller source and converting at 20fps with a 30fps config, its a lot smoother now.

Any chance I can get the button version with 30fps? I'm running it on my N3DS and it's much slower than the gif preview. If it's not to much to ask, could you shorten the length of time at the end so that it's not sitting there as long? Thanks

Sorry for the long delay, here are the new and improved animations (now with 16% less length):

Buttoned: https://mega.nz/#!JZAQSQTA!Xx3ICsMwGX-tNvk54hsJGXnqZa9-v8J2xg5i6xYAJoI
Unbuttoned: https://mega.nz/#!8dRlVZgL!4CXPPh5-xY88rTn7wMVIelhKJFSndW2vKYMxM0BWaOM

Well that went well. I'd like to remind EVERYONE (both GW and non-GW users) that this is not a place to discuss which one is better. (however non-GW A9LH is best A9LH tbh :^))
Now, as for GW compatibility @Hunter Guimont, I don't even know how they will implement loading their payload. My initial thought was that they would completely rip off stage1/stage2 from a9lh, and from there load their payload from the carts flash memory, which means that we will not have access to it.

Unless they actually provide info, nobody will support them. So keep that in mind.

Also, there's literally no way to make it "safer". They can hide away most steps from the guide, but the 2.1 downgrade will still happen.

I'm getting ready to release v0.6 any time soon (not SOON™, Please Understand™) but I need animations.
Even though there's a lot of them, they're mostly just CFW bootscreens with button layouts (again, not wrong), but I need more themed animations. Most of my animations are custom because there's really not much variety to be honest.

So yeah, if anyone here knows his stuff with BA9 or has a ridiculously large collection of GIFs (no memes pls), let me know.

I NEED a Digimon boot screen pls

I know that "THIS IS NOT A HELP THREAD" but, can this brick my device? And will it complete full boot animation? Or skip if device is ready to boot?

It cannot brick your device if you already have a9lh. It will always show the complete animation.

Why does it stop working after a while? It'd create a .bak file, too...

Which part do you mean by that it "stops working"? Be a little clearer on that if you would

 

[junior598]

Ah. Okay, so usually the animation would stop loading after a couple days. I'll clarify more when I'm not in school haha

Have you been updating Luma through the StarUpdater?

 

[junior598]

Have you been updating Luma through the StarUpdater?

Yeah, latest nightly (to fix update message) but this has been happening before the update to the nightly

 

[Khangaroo]

I think the updater replaced BootAnim9.

 

[Wolfvak]

Alright, so given that GW will NOT support anything sane, this will be a completely delebile-A9LH thread. ie Master Race.

GW users GTFO or face the consequences.

 

[nickwhit]

StarUpdater breaks BootAnim9..
UNLESS you create a .cfg (placed in luma folder) that includes the path of your A9LH payload.

ex. "/anim/luma.bin"

This will allow you to use StarUpdater and BootAnim together properly.
