now the question is, if we had access to the flash memory the boot logos reside in, is it possible to have all these boot logos reside on the music drive, and a random one get loaded to the appropriate /proc entree with a shell script? so basically, a new boot logo every bootup via @EXEC_ONCE calling the script. this possible?

This would be do-able, but not a good idea.
Flash memory is a consumable resource. If you write to the same address too many times, it will render the flash memory useless. Since the boot logos (and the kernel) always reside in the same memory spot, you'd be wearing out that memory spot each time you turned on the power instead of just each time you replaced a logo or kernel as you normally would.
The flash memory for the player settings such as the current song pointer is stored just as frequently (it's stored when you turn off the power), but it's not as bad because its address is moved around on each boot. So you get many more "stores" out of the saved player settings than you would out of the boot logos.

true, but IIRC, mark said that the flash memory is already written over every bootup, and it would take 100,000 power cycles to finally kill it off with normal usage. so, arbritrarily setting, say that the boot logo shuffle makes the life lower by 10, allowing for 10,000 cycles. if your average was 5 cycles a day, it would last you about 6 years, and if by that time nothing surpasses the empeg still, then you can always replace the flash memory, correct? =)

I vote Dodge, Jeep, Alfa, and Jag as my favorites. Makes me want to fast forward 10 years so I can afford that Jag XKR I've always ever wanted.
Yeah, I missed a bunch too. Quality work!

damn, that was a dumb question. I thought they had to be in a special format like the boot logos or something... A quick visit to the FAQ and I was all sorted.
later,

What's the best way to grab that last frame and use it for a static logo? "Copy" from Anim editor to logo editor doesn't seem to work.. Yeah, there isn't a copy/paste feature in there that I can see. Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't be doing all my work directly within the animation editor to begin with, I'd be using an outside tool like Paint Shop Pro and/or Ulead Gif Animator so that I have each frame as a separate GIF/PNG/BMP file that I can work with more effectively. So I'd already have the files in a different format ready to use.
If you're doing all the work in the Jemplode animation editor and you're not using an outside tool, all you need to do is "save frame as PNG", then open it up in the Jemplode logo editor.
(Note that *my* logo editor doesn't do PNG, but Jemplode does. If you want to open the PNG in my logo editor, you'll need to convert it to BMP or GIF with a third party program.)

I'm Back!
After a very stressful two months, my life is finally back to normal.....or close to it anyways.
I know there were some boot requests I never did get to so if any of you had requests, please PM me with a reminder or new request.
I really need to clear my mind of certain things and little projects like these are just what I need.
P.S.
When ever possible, please send or link any media to be used and thanks to everyone for making this the only BBS worth being a part of.
You guys rock!

Hopfully Hugo ended uploading this one. It would be an honor if he did sported it and showed it off at this years Amersfort meet. If you look closely, the word "Skunk" is on one of the passing walls.
