Change CDShell Image [bmp -> csi]

[Bjartmar]

I need help changing the boot-up image in CDShell.

The image that loads when I boot from a CD.

You could try this:

You should use "convert" tool in /TOOLS folder where u installed cdshell for making .csi files. (640x480x24)

I made an 640*480 image in Paint, saved it as 24-bit Bitmap (*.bmp, *.dip) in the Convert folder.

I'm trying to run the Converter but nothing happens(a cmd window opens for like 1 ms). Tried to drag the image in the Convert.exe file... Nothing happens.

I did the same with a 320x240 and saved as 256 Color Bitmap (8-bit)...

Am I doing something wrong with the editor?

"CONVERT" is command tool used for converting true color images (640x480x24 windows bmp image)

So you should use command prompt and navigate up to folder where the program is.

Syntax: convert <-bmp2csi | -csi2bmp> <-o outputfile> <inputfile>

Example:

I had an image named "image.bmp" in a folder together with convert.exe

C:\tools\convert>convert -bmp2csi -o image.csi image.bmp

Dont use convert.exe on 320x240x8 images.
