Sh*t works... I'll try to post pics when I get a hold of my roommates cam.

Just wondering tho'.. what did i miss/did wrong? Also, the "VERSION" screen now shows both "Program Disc & APL" numbers. Just so I know for future references.

For the image... did you "pre-set" the specs like your site says or can you crop an existing image to specs? I'm not that familiar with Photoshop programs (all the more reason to learn )

This MOD def added +25whp to my slow-a$$ Si Big THANKS to my man Jason

I honestly don't know what you did differently. Maybe it has to do with the picture settings, but I doubt it. I'm just glad it's working for you.

I cropped your picture to fit the specs. If you only resize it, then the picture becomes distorted and doesn't look right. Cropping it means you lose a little bit of your original picture, but in the end it doesn't look like shit.
Of course, I also added that extra symbol you asked for using Photoshop. Icing on the cake

Just tried your method in the site with 6.62, the screen turns to all white instead of showing up any picture.

Please help!!

The usually means that your picture dimensions, settings, or format is incorrect.

hey I just found out that from version 6.55 and up the startup screen is made up of 3 pictures, one for background and the other 2 pieces for emblem and title..so what I need is a tutorial that explains how to actually make a 3 piece startup screen (just telling me how to set up the resolution/color depth for each would be a big help)

NAVI Welcome Screen Hack!

thanks to jason. i uploaded my fave bands cover art. children of bodom!!! here are some pics. btw, jason to clear up some stuff, add to ur tutorial 6.55 that in the update file u must add all three images by photoshop and when u double click splash screen and it updates the base image, u must then hit enter to update honda emblem and enter again to update navi sign. that was the problem i had with the green emblem and navi sign. thanks again for everything, if i can think of anyhing else to change ill post up here.

Glad it worked out for you

As for your suggestion, I'll take it under consideration. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be in the tutorial since the batch file tells you in the beginning, "Step 1 of 3" and "Press and key to continue". I just assumed that those statements wouldn't equate to "there's actually only one step and close this window prematurely by hitting the red X on the top right-hand corner of your screen".

If anyone has more suggestions, I'm definitely all ears.

is the disclaimer removalable, the one that you have to hit the "ok" every time you turn on the car?

Sorry. Hasn't happened yet.

i used one of the " splash screens" from Navigation Splash-Screen Hack Tutorial - 6.11C and that screen worked perfect. I opened that exact pic in paint, edited it ( so dimensions remained, saved it, and tried it, and it didn't work ( black screen ) i noticed in the properties that mine is saved by ms paint as 24 bit and everything says to make it 16 bit, but when i do that, it's degraded HORRIBLY... also.. the pics that you can downloand and use right off the tutorial, are in 96 dpi ( matrix ) or 32 bit ( red ice florish ) so im wondering how important those parameters are.

Can I email you my pic and have you convert it to 32 or 16 without it degrading in quality ? or make it work in whatever way its not right,

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have this picture file? When I originally hacked the start screen in 2006, I used this. I just got the updated Nav DVD (6.62) and want to do it again, but I can't find the picture again

All of the pictures must be 16-bit. MS Paint is not capable of converting a picture to 16-bit without it horribly degrading. That is why I suggest everyone use Adobe Photoshop or a similar program.

Sure, feel free to PM me your email address.

I believe that was custom-made by someone else. Sorry, but I don't have it.

A million thanks bud. This is by far the best splash screen. Perfect match for the Si interior.

Anyone got a hack for the 2009 NAVI yet? I just picked mine up and hate the damn warning screen.

There's never been a hack that removes the warning screen.
