Hacking Custom Boot Logo for Switch

[impeeza]

I got the following: the h file just has the array and my image is 1280 x 720. How can I get the four SplashScreen values ?

X=0
Y=0
W=1280
H=720

There is a guide for each image shown on startup and the description of how change them

Can't that be done just by adding some bootlogo lines in hekate_ipl.ini?

Or maybe it's a different screen you're trying to replace?

Perhaps this video could help? It's not in English but you can still see what is going on.

There is also this from the op in this topic. Could just be that? Can always try compiling again without the extra params to see what happens. I get an error 2 message when I try to compile using the extra...

Please don't use a image big like that because the loading time of ams increases a LOT!

Take a small Logo/picture and put that array into boot_splash_screen_notext.inc, and tell that file your image size and the coordinates where it should be shown.

Even if your file is mostly black with a little logo in the middle it eats up MB like hell.

Sure you can do it if you don't care. Just a hint!

But that's to change the Atmosphere logo, right?
I've changed all three logos, and it takes about 20 seconds to boot from turn on.

Yes the second logo from AMS that you get if you compile atmosphere yourself and change the boot_splash_screen_notext.inc file.

In my case the logo is still big (526x100, original is 256x256) and the file looks like this before the array part:

constexpr size_t SplashScreenX = 377;
constexpr size_t SplashScreenY = 310;
constexpr size_t SplashScreenW = 526;
constexpr size_t SplashScreenH = 100;

Logo is displayed 377px from the left and 310px from top to get that centered.

That’s how it starts my Lite

and a big sept logo will create a PACKAGE3 which can not be loaded with Fusee.bin.
