What is the website?

Thanks!

If you don't know the web site how are you converting the tiff to bmp???
are you using a diferent application beside AWBM tools?
I also want the nissan logo but in a MII 12k my problem is that I don't know how to work the tools......

HINT: If you're having trouble keeping your logos small enough, try to avoid dithering, and make sure any gradients are vertical (i.e. horizontal scanlines have constant colour); this will help maximise the compression that can be achieved.

*UPDATE*
If you're desparate for more BIOS space for your logo, it may be possible to remove certain parts of the BIOS to make room. On the EPIA 5000/800 BIOS version 0207, you can safely remove the pxe.lom network boot rom, and the EPA logo, with:

CBROM EPIA0207.BIN /pci release
CBROM EPIA0207.BIN /epa release

Obviously, doing this results in a machine that can no longer boot over a network, but the free space for the boot logo is increased to around 45k. If you still need network boot functionality, it may also be possible to replace the pxe.lom boot rom with via-rhine etherboot rom, which supposedly works, but is considerably smaller. Please note, though, that I haven't tried this...

Thanks, I know the website and I am using AWBM TOOL. It took me a while but I figured out how to work the tool.

Here is a website that helped me out big time...

Try This

See if that helps.

Anybody knows if it is possible to use a 16-color image instead of 256-color one?

i am looking for a boot screen for a scion if anyone has one.

**jedi7001** · 05-30-2005, 01:34 AM

Looking to do the same with a BMW logo on my Epia Via M10000 like CdRSkull...I dont see the original logos on this thread, anyone have a good one I can use? Is it pretty easy to change the bios file?

I have the strangest problem, my boot logo is showing up perfectly except for being off center by about 10 pixels to the left, and 2 down. Its really strange, but I'll have to test it on the car LCD before I go any further. I also used Inno Logo (downloaded, cracked, replaced logo, and uninstalled) to install this BMP which looks really nice as the Windows boot screen. Too bad you never see it booting anyway.
