Hacking Share your custom Hekate bootlogo thread

[BaamAlex]

which of them is the required for Hekate?

X8 R8 R8 B8 is needed. And don't forget to rotate the picture one time counterclockwise

 

[impeeza]

Thanks a lot for your quick answer. Question aside: which is the difference between that two formats? (just curiosity)

 

[BaamAlex]

Dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, here's mine.

Might add my social usernames later, since the "This is jeffy's switch" part is moreso a "just in case I lose it" thing, but also a cool customization thing.

Maybe if I end up feeling like it for some reason, I'll probably smash Goldleaf and Awoo installer together, and put myself in there.

i made this using a image i just found on google. i don't know about you but i think it turned out alright

 

[BaamAlex]

That looks nice.

That’s very nice. You should edit your post and put a thumbnail up so people can see it while browsing. I almost missed it!

Damn! This looks awesome! Make sure to edit your post as Binkinator said.

(..btw, should I post my updated bootlogo? or..)

 

[BaamAlex]

should I post my updated bootlogo?

Definitely yes please ♥

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Here's the updated bootlogo (png format for quality reasons; switch uses bmp of course) with contact info.
Graphics were all done in Paint on a mouse (as is usual for me) and the glowing effect (to make it look a bit more nice on the switch itself imo) was done with Photoshop CS6.

Spoiler: Original canvas

As you can see, I went with the smaller drawing of myself since it just looked better. I know the bootlogo supports more than 2 colors, but it was nice to use just B/W, kinda fun ngl.

My updated bootlogos:

OFW I use for online, so it's like this.
CFW always offline and it's default booting on startup for me.

 

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

Heh, nice to see another bootlogo with a VOL- reminder to open Hekate. I've memorized it by now but it was helpful to have the reminder on my bootlogo when I was still new to switch homebrew. (I still am, I just mostly play games lol)

For all my fellow Jojo fans

Its still working? because it doesn´t work for me even from the downloaded images from here. With the right format and rotated. I have this on my sd hekate_ipl

customlogo=1
logopath=/bootlogo.bmp

and not working.

You don't need the logopath=/bootlogo.bmp stuff iirc. Is it really correctly formatted? X8 R8 G8 B8?

where do i need to put it then?

And yes. Just exported the picture in Gimp and checked that options. I cannot get it to work not even with the posted over here.

 

[BaamAlex]

Just into the bootloader folder. Then go into hekates options and enable it.

And yes. Just exported the picture in Gimp and checked that options. I cannot get it to work not even with the posted over here.

I exported it as a 32 bit image in gimp and it worked fine but I selected A8 R8 G8 B8 (not X8 R8 G8 B8 I think that one is actually 24bits of color and the X8 are unused). I am not sure if that will matter but the A represents the 8 transparency bits I think so maybe?

If the (A8 R8 G8 B8) option not selectable try adding a layer to your image with nothing on it to force alpha.


I also might add I had to do the above for an image I found here that was already a bmp. It was not working unless I did the above.


I chose this one of mario with his middle figures up and I LOVE IT!:
