Boot Splash Help Needed

[saboteur]

Morning everyone.

I've spent the last 15 minutes trawling through the results of various searches here today and can't find the info I need ( although I know i've seen a couple of post's about it in the past )

I'd like to remove / change the GP2X green boot/slpash screen and also remove the boot sound.

Oh and i'm still using firmware 2.1

Any pointers will be welcome.

Thanks

Don't know about the boot screen, but the startup sound is easily replaced.

If memory serves correctly, there is no easy way to change the boot up screen.
I think you needed to change it before compiling (your own version of the firmware), and then updateing the 2x to your new kernel image, but I'm not sure.

Maybe it would be possible to hex edit an already compiled kernel image, but i dont think that would be a good idea because of the high bricking risk.

Thanks for that - should've known to check the wiki first DOH!

It's a shame i can't just disable the boot splash screen, but hohum.
