Dreamcast LOGO MAIN SCREEN !! PLEASE HELP !!

[nrichards2021]

Ok, You know the Dreamcast main screen that comes on when you turn on the system, it makes like 3 dongs and a circle, says dreamcast in orange letters.

Well I was wondering is there a program out there I can use to change that logo to a new video clip or still picture, So I don't get the dreamcast logo to pop up. Or if you know of a way just not for it to popup at all would be great. I would like to customise my dreamcast so any help would be great.

Thank You,
:D

I'm not sure, but I think it's built in the boot up sequence, and a part of startup control checks, so I doubt you can change it.

But I've seen somewhere some guys who changed the map behing DC's setup screen (the one with the CD player...). You need a coder's cable to do it...

Yeah, that's the custom BIOS menu activated through playing Puyo Puyo Fever, and I believe someone figured out a way to upload your own custom backgrounds into the VMU once that custom BIOS is active. :)
The startup animation ("Dreamcast" and the spiral logo) is hardcoded, however - it's not a video clip, it's drawn in realtime and you cannot change it. Theoretically you could if you were to physically replace the BIOS with a hacked one... but I doubt we're going to see anybody do that anytime soon. :D
