I'm only curious to know what, if any, boot animation you're using on your own empeg? Hope it hasn't already been mentioned and I just missed it. Great work BTW.

May I add to the request list?

Sure, why not. Will anything do or do you have an idea?

Oh, and thanks Bruno

hey skunk. first of all great job on the logos. i was interested in an Acura Integra animation. right now i just have the still image from riocar.org. i was wondering what exactly it is that you need for an animation. since the integra has evolved into the RSX i'm sure animations aren't as readily available (although i will still google for them). however what can you work with? a few pics that are close enough to be made into an animation? i'm just not sure what you require for the animation. thanks

Thanks George!
I can pretty much animate any image, two dimensionally of course.
Aninmated gifs and video clips are also great for animations.
The clips and images are converted to grayscale then sized to 128x32 pixels, reduced to 32 frames or less, stabilized, and then converted to the 4 VFD color values.

Just give me an idea of what you would like as the animation,
provide me with any media you may want to use or I can just come up with something on my own based on what I find.

Also a very cool idea and I dont think anyone has done this yet, is to direct your own video cilp using your home video camera and I can convert it into and ABL.

wow the home made video clip is a good idea. i'll see what i can find thru google as well but i think i may just make a video. great idea...i am inspired . now if only my car actually went fast instead of "sounding" fast

Can I ask to get one of a animated toyota celica 1994-99 not the new ones.

Hi there!

A brief search still shows no information on getting boot logos to work on a Mark I. The instructions on the Riocar.org site are for the Mark II (e.g. "Make sure your player is connected to your computer via ethernet") - what about the Mark I and it's serial-or-USB-only connection? What do I have to do to get these excellent animations on my Mark I?

Pleeeeeeaaassssee!

Looks like the only way is to write to the player's flash RAM at address a000 using Hugo's original source code.

That's the wrong address for an animated logo.

And the file has to be in the right format, it can't be an animated GIF. The address depends on the size of the file and where Mark's hijack code expects to look for it.

Perhaps Mark can help out in determining the address.

Sorry about not inculding your Maltese cross.
The detail was lost once it was reduced in size to fit the screen.

Here is the one for your Honda Pilot

I know, I know. I realized it after the fact but hey, it still looks cool!

You Volvo owners know what i'm talking about.

Mine's AWD. :P

What, that's a FINE example of a Volvo V90 doing a burnout! It's perfect; fit my request description better than I even imagined it. I'm amazed at how much you fit into 30 frames fo 128x32 and 4 colors. Thanks again, you have been PayPal'd.

Well, if you've got that much smoke coming out of the back end, you've got something seriously wrong with your car.

To beat that dead horse, Volvos are FWD.

V90 = rear...wheel...drive? I wish I had one every time I (rarely) see them on the highway.

Huh. Didn't know that.

Thanks FireFox31 for the kind words and generous contribution. Hopefully you received my thank you email expressing the same.

Surely it's Saab who are all front wheel, Volvo, before the 4wd had always been rear wheel - I could be wrong.
A Beamer owner was once extolling the virtues of rear wheel drive in my local pub, when a dour Yorkshireman piped up: Aye, but you never see a train wit' engine on't back! - A convincing argument, I felt!

I meant these days, but you're right. They did used to all be RWD.

Any chance of getting a logo done with a Toyota Prius theme? No smoking wheels needed here! Come to think of it no smoke at all!

Many (some would say most) higher-end cars are RWD - when not AWD. BMW, Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus, Porsche... of course there are plenty of (extreme) low end cars that are also RWD, like the Ford Mustang. I was pretty surprised to find out Saabs are all FWD - and even the Audi TT is FWD (yuck on a roadster).

All I know about rear wheel drive is:
When you stomp on the gas and the car moves forward, all the weight goes to the back. More weight on the rear tires = better traction. Less weight on the front tires = the crappy traction I get every morning when trying to accelerate from a stop on the hill I live on.
Oh, and the other thing I suspect is:
Rear wheel drive stinks in the snow. I guess that's why Volvo and Saab's are front wheel drive.

Hi all,

I was wondering Skunk, do you think a logo could be done with this? Perhaps with a static empeg motif beside it...

Cheers,

Raas

But that brings up the most important question: "OMG, WHY!?"

Bruno

It's all about those trousers mate! Legendary

Sure, as long as you don't mind Stanley being this tall.


Note: Although he has been converted to the 4 VFD values he has not been opitimized to look his best. This is just a sample.

I'm sure I can think of somthing.

It's amazing what motion can convey even at low rez. I can totally tell that's the MC Hammer dance even at that tiny size. Cool.
