drag makebax.exe to the powershell window and there you put the command: "converted.ivf" "output.bax"

press enter and that's it, the .bax file is created. i follow this tutorial

Is there a way to improve the video quality? For example, to make it look like the animations that appear in Prof Layton?

How to remove it so the 3Ds has normal luma3ds? Just delete bax folder and bax firm and put the normal boot.firm in the root?

There never was a solution to give a 3DS a startup boot animation with sound, huh? Small shame, adding a sound to my custom boot animation would really make it feel all the more complete, ya know?

yeah, just replace the bax firm file with the Luma3DS one
