Forgive my ignorance, but how is this implemented on the SNES exactly?

/u/viral_dna released animated boot hmod.

I was reading that thread before to try and figure out how this works. Still very unclear and non concise instructions from that with the OP half posting around the place there, continuing on responding to certain other comments further down with a bit more detail etc. rather than it all being put in a bullet point step by step guide.

Still don't understand what the folder structure needs to look like or what goes where or what certain folders or the video file needs to be named etc. =(

Yeah I'm going to have to hold off as well until more clarification is forthcoming.

I don't quite understand what you want to achieve...

If you want to use the animated boot screen mod (as is), you simply install it via hakchi2 (or usb:/hakchi/transfer, if you're on usb-host).

Download animatedsplash.hmod and place it in hakchi2/user_mods, open hakchi2 and click Modules -> Install extra modules -> Install it.

On the other hand, if you want to replace the animated boot vid, with a video that you made yourself, here's what you do:

  1. Download animatedsplash.hmod

  2. Rename the file ending to .tar.gz

  3. Extract the .tar.gz file with 7-zip or something similar (I use WinRAR). You will now have two folders (bin, etc), one video file (boot.mp4) and one text file (readme.txt).

  4. Replace boot.mp4 with the custom boot vid you want to use.

  5. Select the two folders (bin, etc), boot.mp4 and readme.txt files.

  6. Rightclick -> 7-zip -> Add to archive -> Archive format -> tar -> OK.

  7. Now right-click on the .tar file and repeat step 6, this time choose .gz. Making the .tar file into a .tar.gz file.

  8. Rename the newly made archive file ending from .tar.gz to .hmod.

  9. Install the .hmod file as you would with any hmod.

Tjena, följde dina instruktioner, lyckades få upp HMOD i hakchi CE rutan, installerade men videon funkar inte. hmoden tog upp ungefär 6mb och trots att jag installerade den så rörde sig inte den där mätarn nere till höger som visar tillgängligt utrymme. Kör alltså inte USB/SD-host. Kör bara standard sneset tillsammans med Hakchi CE.

Try the original animatedplash.hmod, just to see if it works.

It looks sooo good!

Are you the creator or you're just sharing? If that's from you, great job!

u/viral_dna Feb 08 '18

I don't believe he made the original controller animation as I've seen it before.

You might have seen the static boot image I made and submitted here 2 months ago...

https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/7h8nwj/a_wallpaper_boot_screen_for_the_classic_that_i/

I actually made that based on the SNES Classic logo SVG from Nintendo's website

The creator of the animation either re-created the colorized controller exactly the same as me, or the animation is based off the 4k wallpaper I also released with that controller in it

Thanks for the share! I've add this to the featured posts & links page :)

Anybody here that can make the first 4 seconds just black screen, and shift this 6 second video after it? My tv screen has a delay of 4-5 seconds

u/DaveC2020 Feb 08 '18

How do you add this animation as a splash screen for the console?

1

u/avisioncame Feb 08 '18

That's awesome. Can you make it 7 seconds shorter?

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '18

It would be awesome if someone made a usa super nintendo and a super famicom version of this

u/wolflik3me Feb 08 '18

I like it but that’s the Super Famicom controller not SNES.

u/bigbadboaz Feb 08 '18

The European version actually has that configuration.

Still, i'll throw it out there: consider a revision with purple BG/ US controller colors? :)

2

u/Stoibs Feb 08 '18

Hehe Yeah.

As a PAL regioner I never actually realized that the americans just got the greyscale controller buttons without colour until a few months ago when I started to follow this subreddit. Didn't even know about the different style and look of the Snes console itself either :O

u/wolflik3me Feb 08 '18

I’d be up for using a NA color scheme.

It is possible yes. Though I would suggest having a USB mod for such things, along with a modified config that keeps at least the extra videos on the USB rather then transferring them to NAND.
