Where does the boot logo belong on the SD card? I already have files in the directory where the boot logo files are supposed to go.

Usually the IPS patches go into atmosphere/exefs_patches/boot_logo

You can also patch package3 and replace the colour atmosphere splash too.

I tested this and can confirm it worked


So you can technically use hekate bootlogo > inject package3 & make ips patches.

In "atmosphere/exefs_patches/xxxxx.ips files" or in "atmosphere/exefs_patches/mario_logo/xxxxx.ips files" (where mario logo is the folder I got when downloading the mario custom boot logo)?

My folder has always been called boot_logo so I tend to go with if it isn't broken don't fix it.

hey, can u send me this boot logo files. i like it :D

sure, it was something I was using for myself but I don't mind sharing it out
either make your own with the images, or use the zip file
****
Before you use the zip on your switch mount the switch in hekate
Tools > USB Tools > SD Card
and backup 'package3' in the atmosphere folder
I use this on the latest fw 13.2.0 | ams 1.2.6 so i doubt it would work on much else.


I've also got a load of hekate icons, I've made which I'll post at some point

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/blob/master/docs/features/configurations.md

Adding a Custom Boot Splashscreen​

Atmosphère provides its own default splashscreen which is displayed at boot time. However, this can be replaced at will.

Boot splash screens must be 1280x720 resolution.
(this size will be the full screen logo shared above…not the little one…the little image is for the IPs patch version)

A script can be found inside the source tree (/utilities/insert_splash_screen.py) for inserting a custom splash screen into a release binary.

To do so, execute the following command on the script: python insert_splash_screen.py <path to your splash screen image> <path to /atmosphere/package3 on your SD card>

Like so:
python insert_splash_screen.py sodabootsplash.png package3

Need to have python3 installed and download this utility:
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/blob/master/utilities/insert_splash_screen.py

I typically copy the image and a clean copy of package3 into the same directory as the Python utility. Once I have my new package3 I backup my original and move the new one in its place.

Package3 is atmosphere splash pre injected.
Atmosphere folder has the IPS patches
Bootloader folder has the hekate splash.

To inject your own package3 (back it up first)
You can use the package I put together just put the image you want to inject into package3 in the same folder as the bat rename it to 1.png and put package3 in the same folder
https://ufile.io/lt0che1u (link expires in 30 days)

windows users can grab this, all you need is package3 in the root folder
a bootlogo image 1280x720 saved as 1.png (or edit the bat file)
run the bat file and it will inject the image into package3

AFAIK there isn't unless you did some recompiling or something I've not honestly looked I don't mind that Atmos logo
