Ok, so we have customizable boot sounds, how long until it's possible to change that green boot screen?
How about a boot screen competition once it's possible

Hmmm... AFAIK it's embedded in UBoot. I don't really think it's such a great idea to patch it just to change an image, but if you really want to then downloading the source and compiling a new uboot with a different graphic might actually be the easiest way.

Perhaps we could recompile it with an interchangable image?

Someone did this for FW 1.2.x ... Here's the link
... I had a nice splash screen showing a freshly deceased GG Allin in his coffin ...

Lovely. Welcome to the newbie-friendly face of gp32x.de. Here we like linux, emulation and looking at the corpses of feces-smeared rockers.

Well, someone at our German boards created a utility to change the black U-Boot bootscreen.
However, as the utility is not tested yet and nobody wants to brick his gp2x, it's not released yet.
I'm gonna test it soon - but I won't recommend anyone without a JTAG cable to use it.

Are animated boot screens possible ??
Or are the screens drawn using some kind of non-standard imaging format ??
I would love to make a cool animated gif instead of the boring existing one .

I'm guessing they use a wierd pallatte ... My image would not display any reds/oranges, so I opted for a B&W image.

I'm having the classic Nintendo GameBoy Ba-Ding on my gp2x and want an appropriate looking GamePark-Holdings GameBoy-LCD-Style Logo

What do you want?
I would love to see the actual Linux boot sequence showing up... Like a haxor!

I want it to start up with an animated version of the old Intel Inside logo but with Linux Inside (see gp2x.co.uk site) and the same music.

ahhh fond memories!

Actually, now that you mention it... There should be an option in the FW to turn it on. That would be useful for diagnostics.
(and for |-|4><0|2ness)ED: I'm loving the Nintendo Gameboy logo mimicry idea ^__^

I would like this as well. Very greatly. Knowing what is happening at boot is very, very useful.

ARM Inside
An animation would probably have to be uncompressed frames and therefore very large. Hence the use of PCM and not OGG or MP3 to avoid the overhead of loading a whole decompression engine before the KERNEL. I'd just hope to change the image personally.
