Boot splash questions

serial8:
Great. So all is needed is a splash file located at /.rockbox/splash.bmp which is 320x240x16 and to 'diff' the rockbox.ipod file with your patch.

Isn't it?

Loll.  ;D


--- Quote ---Applying a 'patch' (output from diff -u) is done with the 'patch' tool:


--- Code: ---  cd to/source/root
  patch < patchfile
--- End code ---

Sorry if I seem like a newb, I'm good at Python but patches...

So we apply a patch to the source code directly or to a binary?

So as I see it, it goes like this:


--- Code: ---cd /path/to/rockbox/sources/root/directory
rockbox.ipod < the_infamous_patchfile
--- End code ---

Isn't that better?

AlexP:
A patch modifies the source code.  After that you must compile.

While you may think it's "better" it won't actually do anything...
