:: CD Shell Boot Image ::

Change the CD Shell Boot Image

When your DVD boots up CD Shell displays an image for a few seconds and then displays your custom menu. Well this section will help you change that image to whatever you want. In the tools folder that was included in the CD Shell zip file, we will be using the convert.exe program.

Before we can convert an image however, we need a BMP file that is 640x480 in size at 24bit color depth. Save this picture into your tools folder. Now, open a command prompt and navigate to tools by typing cd D:\AIO-DVD\BOOT\tools.

Then the command you enter to convert the BMP file is:

convert -bmp2csi -o splash.csi logo.bmp

Parameters Explained

What this does is run the convert.exe program with the following options:

-bmp2csi

Says we are converting a bmp file to a csi file.

-o splash.csi

Says to call the new file splash.csi

logo.bmp

Name of our 640x480 bmp file to convert.

Finishing Up

Copy your newly created CSI file into the \BOOT\graphics\ folder. It must be named splash.csi to work properly.
