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

[mashers]

I've made an animaged GIF I want to use and am now trying to convert it. The GIF ran very smoothly but the converted animation is slow on BootAnim9. I've tried creating a file in /anim called config and putting a faster framerate but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Edit - ahh, I had to change the framerate in the ffmpeg command when converting the gif.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Obviously:

Convert at 15fps for roughly the correct speed

I'm having too much fun with this

fug me this is getting out of hand...
Alright, I *need* someone to create a "Custom Boot Animations for BootAnim9" thread. Anyone interested, please PM me

Where is this config file? Can't find it anywhere.

I'm really sorry haha

If you don't have one, create it. It's supposed to be at sdmc:/anim/config and the only content it should have is the framerate in hexadecimal (so please don't just input '10' into notepad)
I'll change this format to a plaintext one with INI, very very SOON

Well, since that thread wasn't created yet...

Would there be a way to use a non-animated image on bottom screen & an animated one on top?
I'm trying to put the spinning N from N64 on top & the o3DS logo on bottom.

You could just make it a gif that doesn't change.

Just make a static GIF that lasts a second or so

Ninj'd.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, try renaming your jpeg or whatever to a gif, and convert it. ffmpeg should detect it's a jpeg and convert it correctly. The resulting file size should be (320*240*3) bytes

So excited for the new release. Now we need is a thread for custom boot screens

How would I do that? Just make each frame of a 1sec GIF identical?

Just take an image and convert it to a gif file for a single frame "animation". Photoshop and other stuff will work for that

Edit: Even newer scripts
I changed the way it'll scale in ffmpeg after figuring out rescaling and rencoding to a different format(It now takes the extension of the file and the rescale encodes to that instead of always to a gif file) can cause tearing after it rencodes again into the raw rgb dump and played back. Animations may or may not look a little bit better now. Also, I was informed we don't have a file size limit anymore, go crazy.

Also have a fun animation: (7mb 15fps) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByRf7Ign14-3YWFqMC1BRm8tc3c/view?usp=sharing

Alright, so here's my contribution!

 

[RednaxelaNnamtra]

Current builds of most CFWs have screen de-init now, so 3D bug is pretty much a thing of the past.

Also, does this allow 3D top screen animations or are they limited to 2D?

Also a bit of a tall order but a boot sound effect is pretty much the last thing to do before it's perfect. You would need to figure out sound init though. Good luck with that.

If this makes it's way into Aureinand, I may try and do a classic Nintendo DS boot animation.

I remember making one for MoonShell 1.71 back in the day.

From what I know no screen init version enables 3D, screen init is also using the same address for both the left and the rigth framebuffer address.
I also started to implement support for potential later 3D screen init to bootctr9, but I don't know if somebody is working on it.
I will also add this to Bootctr9, sometime after it got polished, and I released version 1.0 of bootctr9.

Made a thread to share animations!
Post your animation there, I'll edit to add yours.

My biggest wish for BootAnim9 woud be a AuReiNand integration. Looping animation would be perfect while the CFW is booting

requesting something animation with a cat

Since my sister love cats too, I made this one for her, maybe you will like it too.

This is the one I would really like to see added to the new thread here https://gbatemp.net/threads/a9lh-bootanim9-animations-thread.420421/

Would there be any way you could compile and upload this? I like this boot animation A LOT, also what FPS to run it at?
