Is it possible, that the bootscreens are just save as a normal image file and we can change them like we change the menu graphics?

It would be nice to replace it with something more nice (maybe a WinXP bootscreen? :p j/k).

I think the current bootscreens are pretty ugly and needs to be changed asap!
 
Do you mean the u-boot screen, or the green one after that? I remember reading an interview with someone at gph where they said that they wouldn't make that possible, especially after that chinese clone appeared.
 
Babah... A bit firmware hacking will make everything possible :)
Like my Siemens SX1... The hacked firmware allows me wav ringtones, louder voice, fullscreenthemes....
 
Yeah i don't doubt it will be hacked, BUT the problem is when hacking is not used correctly (i'm talking about the chinese again :p)
 
So what exactly IS this chinese clone thing? People keep referring to it, and how it's made GPH more scared to release source, but I guess I arrived here too late or something... what happened?
 
its some tiny thing with a tiny screen and a built in fm radio

its basicalyl a mobile phone without the phone part, but with the ability to play mobile phone games....

Erm... the thing in the picture is a GP2X, or a very good clone. Notice how it says "gamepark holdings" on the panel thingy.
 
I mean both if possible, or one of them if nothing else goes :D

So it is not possible by just let a script copy over some files?
 
surely thats illegal? its a picture of the bloody beta gp2x with gamepark holdings on the bottom...wtf.. you cant do that
 
It`s Korea, dude, and please please please stay on topic there is a clones thread in the other consoles forum already, and I really want to get rid of these boot screens.

Hi, I think that those images will be embedded in UBoot source, however all I can find are the sources for the dev kit version.

Do you recall a link to GPH's source? I'm drawing a blank with the search engine. :)

Yes im aware of that :) Ive got unlimited bandwidth, but at least people arent mad at my epileptic one i had before ^.^

Im trying to convert my black cat one so that it doesnt take up so much but i keep getting an error :p

They use to equal like 1.2mb, so 800k aint as bad im trying! If it bugs u,then u can adblock if need be.
