Let's See Your Boot Opening Screens + (Tutorial)

[javajix]

Hi all,
i've created an bmp image with 480 x 320 resolution and saved into the BCDx36HP folder as opening.bmp.
I also have deleted the opening message from the sentinel profile but the image is still not visible.

I have the european model: SDS200ED with latest firmware (1.22.01 - Sub 1.02.01)

This is the image, PNG version:

I converted your image back to a BMP, and it worked just fine on my SDS200. It's possible that the SDS200E firmware doesn't have the ability to use a graphic file. As an aside, the text for the opening screen message doesn't have to be deleted in Sentinel, the presence of a properly formatted "opening.bmp" graphic will override any text message.

I have found where the issue was: i used gimp to convert to bmp the image but i don't have checked the "don't save color information" option.

Thanks for your test.

Just right click on the image and select "copy". Paste it into a graphics program and convert it to a "bmp" file.
