Homebrew [RELEASE] BootAnim9 - Custom boot animations for your 3DS!

[Mr.ButtButt]

Do you have an arm9payload.bin? One that works fine as arm9loaderhax.bin? If so, please tell me which one so I can check it out

i downloaded the latest release from here https://github.com/Wolfvak/BootAnim9/releases
and used it's arm9loaderhax.bin and now the 3ds doesn't boot past the animations

And what was your previous arm9loaderhax.bin? Keep in mind the instructions make it quite clear to rename your current 'arm9loaderhax.bin' to 'arm9payload.bin'

well the instructions seem to have illuded me, and now i'm fucked xD
I'll go grab a new bin and try again

.sh for Linux pls

You'll have to give me a little bit, I haven't done shell scripting in quite some time

Why not make a script on another language? Python perhaps?

That also implies that the general user has python installed. Windows users will always be able to run batch files out of the box and mac/linux users will always have bash/zsh out of the box.

Spoiler

And I'm not as familiar with python scripts but I'll look into switching it to python when I manage to stop playing fallout

Pretty much everyone with devkitARM has Python, but I see your point. I just wanted to have one unified script for all OS', but that is fine as well, as long as both scripts accept the same input, output, and behave pretty much the same way

I have a new 3ds
What if nintendo changes the key?
Will i be able to update?

Is it possible to load a video with this?

Thanks

Would this be ever possible with Homemenuhax...? For us waiting Gatewait Team solution for A9LH...

It'd actually be even easier to do it for Homemenuhax. However, it is not my intention right now to support it.

BTW, if you are patient enough to Gatewait™ you'll be able to wait till I'm done with this. Maybe I'll move on to Homemenuhax, I dunno.

I'm sure that you'll be fastest than Gateway Team, yeah, I'll wait for it and thanks!

First of all, thank you for this new tool, and thanks to @Docmudkipz for making a script to convert the GIF files easily!
This is my first attempt to make a boot animation, inspired in the NEO-GEO startup sequence:

Will this support audio soon?

Haha, that was awesome! Should have some info about what "Max Mega" the 3DS has. And a version with added scanlines perhaps? Wish it could have that fantastic Neo Geo sound too.

Thank you! I am thinking that it would be a good idea to put the "Max Mega" and other details on the lower screen ("Insert Coin", perhaps?), while the upper screen has the animation I have already done.

I agree, it would be great to be able to play customized sounds at bootup!

does this work using reinand and arm 9 hax? or do I have to swap from reinand? I have menuhax/reinand as my main hax source atm...

As the title says : it requires A9LH...

Latest build includes *great* streaming from files, that is: no more loading times, file limit, and up to 30fps streaming!

Special thanks to https://github.com/chaoskagami for fixing all of my dumb mistakes and for actually using FatFS instead of using a wrapper like I did!

We would need to reverse engenier the full audio initialisation to be able to use audio from arm9, but I don't think it will be available in the next time, since there is nobody doing this from what I know.

Wow, that's great! I will install the new version now...
By the way, is there any specific file format or palette limit? My bootscreen looks good as a GIF, but after the conversion it looks all dithered (and with a couple of shifted colors) in my 3DS.
