2006-02-04:
converted windows
8-bit bitmap to 16-bit bitmap (see 8to16.exe below) and loaded it into
06AVN2.bmp.
Success!
2006-02-03:
successfully changed the splash screen from Honda to Acura
2006-02-01:
tried a DVD-R with new BMP file in 06AVN2.bin.
2006-01-31:
tried 2 CD-R based methods.
Threads to watch:
1) I got Bysin's source code from:
2) I got a new CECompressv4.dll from:
because Bysin's program failed when
calling into CECompress.dll
3) I created Bysin.exe
4) I created 8to16.exe
You may use a CD instead of a DVD. I've used the following
sucessfully:
Imation DVD+RW discs. $7.77 for 5
at Mall-Wart.
Imation CD-R 700MB Gold Thermal
Verbatim CD-RW 650MB Data Life Plus
