<<solved>> Problems with boot screen

Hi guys
I've got a mpx player named Foston, model FS58A.
I was trying to replace the boot screen with an animation, once the original one is a image with the foston logo. All the files in LOGO.RES was the same type, a picture with blue and white dots. When I changed the pictures from LOGO001 to LOGO016 with an animation, this not appeared on boot screen, but an animation with no definition.
I was thinking I could update my firmaware 3.5.35 by 3.5.37 to get an animation on boot screen, but I really don't know if it's secure.
The shut down animation works well.
My mpx (1GB):
device = 'S1 Mp3 Player'
manufacturer = 'Wilson Co. Ltd.'
bootflash type = 'F641'
firmware version = 3.5.35
Could anyone help me?

Thanks!

Re: Problems with boot screen

I don´t think it´s a good idea to upgrade to version 37.....
I have read a lot of thinks in this forum about problems while doing that.

Coud you please send us the animation that has the problem....

Re: Problems with boot screen

I've already tried upgrade to .37 version... The player didn't turn on and the screen still black. So, I turned to version .35 e the player is working again.
I wonder maybe some file in .fw contains information about enable and blocking boot and shutdown animations, because all animations I tried has failed. But I don't know what change with an hex editor... 0_o
I've changed the shutdown animation and it works well.

Upa Mpx!, Can you upload your firmware to www.ezshare.de and leave a link so I can look at it.

Could I know what you change in the code?
Thank you!

Upa Mpx!,
As your shutdown animation was working alright I just made a copy of it (END.RES) and then renamed it and used it to replace your startup animation (LOGO.RES) as they both had the same amount of images.

It was a good idea! Both files seem to be very similar.

millennn, Some players do not have animated boot screens just single images and some have the same picture in all frames so the animation does not change. You need to extract your firmware with s1fwx and open it with s1res and check LOGO.RES to see what your boot animation is.

You can get both programs from the Downloads>Tools section and there are guides on how to use them in the Knowledge Base section.
