Windows XP boot screen revolution

(click on Progress for the tasty info)

This basically means that the boot screen can now be completely customized. The only limit is that it's still 16 colors (though the palette can be arbitrarily changed) and it's still VGA 640x480, which means anything too graphical-intensive will lag.

I'm looking for ideas to add a quick animation (the boot screen is displayed maximum 5 seconds on modern computers).

This should work on all versions/service packs of Windows XP, though I still have to figure out how to make an universal patcher.

Isn't it weird that my Athlon XP 3000+ displays it for 17 solid seconds? :o:P

Great site btw. That thing with the palettes drives me crazy. NO MORE HEX EDITING PLEASE :P

//EDIT: How do you compile this? :huh:
