I'm sure youve probly seen this before but the info ON how to do this for those interested in helping out is at http://www.masellis.com/wait/index.htm
Because this is only one file being replaced it could easily be part of your skin pack cabs 
On a side note. I have tested the hell of this ROM in the areas I was having problems. I have found that yet again BigJ made a awesome ROM! |
I would LOVE to do this, but i have no idea how or what i need to make my own. I see replacements..... no biggy, but if i could make my own... then WAY BIGGY.
if anyone has info on this .. please let me know |
Heres an example of one that I made for your sonic theme. Just unzip and copy the file to the windows directory (Use resco file explorer) Then soft reset. Now do something that takes load time and you'll see sonic.
Let me know what you guys think
Edit: (from website)
How to create your own
You just need the freeware Resource Hacker. http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/reshack.zip
1.Create 16 pictures (frames) in BMP format, each one 32x32 pixels or smaller. It doesn't have to be a square. I google an animated GIF file, open it up in a graphics program and save each frame as a separate 32x32 BMP file (RGB encoding) or smaller.
2.Copy "gwes.exe.0409.mui" from the Windows directory on your PPC to your PC.
3. Start Resource Hacker and choose File/Open. Change "Files of Type" to "All Files (*.*)" Open your PC copy of "gwes.exe.0409.mui".
Choose Action/Replace Bitmap.
Here you'll see 16 bitmaps to replace, numbers 1024-1039. One by one, select the bitmap to be replaced, click "Open file with new bitmap," select the bitmaps you created in order, and click Replace.
Choose File/Save.
FYI I used Iconcool to rip the frames and Photoshop cs3 the create the seperate bitmaps. |
uber, thanks!...... digs around in his gif archive....
