Mark called for this in the programming forum, but I thought it deserved top billing for everyone to see ...

Mark "Hijack" Lord is on an international search for the best Hijack startup animation, and it _could be yours_! Let's get to it -- He's threatened to make one himself, and I, for one, say we cannot let that happen

Winner #1 (by mschrag)

Jeez, I went away for the weekend and you didn't give me a chance to enter the contest.

I've got a great idea for one, but it'll take me an evening to get it cobbled together....

ok here's a dumb question how are you getting the images from the gameboy camera to the pc ? or are you just copying the gameboy screen ?

or did you just feel like saying Gameboy cam's rock and this image has nothing to do with the gameboy camera :-)

I use a little contraption called a GBXchanger that you plug the cart into, plug the other end into the printer port... and fire up some software that grabs the ROM image, and export the frames as BMP's.

So yes, i did use a GBCam to get the spinnin' empeg. Next up... my car. =]

Thanks all. I wanna redo it... that was a test run. Heheh... maybe i should do it like the first new beetle commercials where it's just spinning around everywhere. Anyone have any other ideas of stuff that could be gbcammed? It works out well since the gbcam's palette is only 4 colors, it does some cool dithering.

I was thinking about taking one of those cheesy pop-up porn ads that your browser gets hammered with if you hit the wrong sites and porting it to an empeg animation...

You're welcome to do that yourself on your own, but you won't be able to place that on the Riocar.org site. It will get rejected by Drakino.

Justin - That kicks ass! We should see if we can get the preview GIF to be larger (actual size like the logo editor) and colored!

Way to go!

Hey, that reminds me A LOT of one of the animations in my Pioneer DEH-9000 organic-EL head unit.

In fact it's exactly the same except for the last part with the "empeg - Hijack loaded" screen.

Doesn't chance the fact that it's a cool animation though! Nice work!

Oh cool! Loren, you should loop that! By the time I scroll down the page, it has stopped.

A VW logo spinning around and going from left to right would be cool! (I don't even own a VW!)

So, is this going to make all the boot logos obsolete?

Is there anyway to change the smaller empeg logo during the load screen?

Thanks man. I'll have my car drive back and forth all day!

Maybe I could use some of my other (static) ones as ideas for animated?

Yeah, i'd like to put some real effort into it too. I was just playin' around... hahah. I KNEW that plane looked familiar! My brother has one of those Pioneer units in his car. =]

I've gotta think of some more good gbcam possibilites.....ooo... i could take some time lapse of driving on the interstate, then composite in a big huge empeg logo and have the 1st person view wreck into the empeg...
