Homebrew Questions about BootAnim9

[Deleted User]

I think it is time for some edgy boot animations, but I have a few questions first.

• Since I need to replace my arm9loaderhax.bin, how do I merge it with Luma3DS
• How do I use it in newbie terms, (file layout)
• If I make a animation that is 1 second, will it only last for 1 second or will it loop until the device has finished loading.
• Do top/bottom animations need to be in the same file?

Thanks for reading this!

1. Put the Luma a9lh.bin in /anim and name it "arm9payload"
2. Each animation goes inside the /anim folder. Each folder containing an animation needs to be a number. So, you would put the animation files in /anim/0. I could show you an example if it's confusing.
3. The animation would play for one second. I don't think you can have it loop unless you loop it yourself.
4. I think they're separate files. I don't know for sure though. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Okay, so I made folders 0-9, and put my top animation, which is the only one that is done atm, in 1, and I turn my 3ds on, and it just boots to luma. I try adding it to 0 and it didn't work.

You only really need the folder named "0" in /anim, but you can have the others if you want different animations to play on boot. It'll randomly pick any from 0-9 when it turns on, and then it will play that one. You can delete folders 1-9 if you dont plan on using them. Make sure the anim and config file are both in /anim/0, and that the Luma arm9loaderhax.bin is in /anim named "arm9payload"
