Hope this clears it up for some people who didnt understand what the hacks are!!

 

Thank you. Makes sense to us newbies now.

 

Salamat, Pare...

 

haha nice Philippines flag. I'm filipino too.

I love these custom boot up screens. Too bad the navi disc that came with my 2004 TL is one version too old from the one that's required for this hack.

 

oops forget what i said earlier ^^^. i actually attempted to read futher into the navi hack thread and got it working on my version of the orange disc. gotta say, this is the best free mod yet.

 

Thought it might help!

No problem pare!


Yah it was one of the first flags that came up on google lol.. Glad you got it working!

What did you end up using?

 

Check your bitmap---it should load faster than that and stay onscreen a bit longer. Make sure it is 110k and run the 8to16 utility on it.

 

8 to 16 utility??

 

it is well below the 110k.. but what is this 8to16 utility?

 

To avoid lag your .bmp pic has to be exactly this size:



It's best to do this in Photoshop to prevent further downgrade of the image quality. Do not do this in MS Paint. Quality will suck.

-Resize and/or crop your desired picture to 380x234
-Stretch the picture horizontally to 480x234 (This is to keep the aspect ratio of the picture and not looked squeezed on your Navi monitor). I've mistakenly avoided this step in kennyc's navi hack guide.
-Now go to the Image tab > Mode > Indexed.
-Set colors: to a value of 173
-Now simply save it as Back.bmp in .bmp format.
-The size of the .bmp should be exactly like pictured above.

Finally, inject your new Back.bmp back into the .BIN file with dump-navi or cebin. There shouldn't be lag anymore

 

Thanks, derick. Those are good instructions.
To be honest, I'm not sure if the 8to16 was what fixed my image or not, as I was trying a couple of things and it was quite some time ago. My suggestion is to start by using derick's instructions and see what your results are.

The DIY's have links that don't work for certain files.

 

Yah that post is a little bit old... I’ll see if I have the files somewhere and I can try to reshape them.

 

That would be great. Thanks

 

Any luck?
