ASUS G60 FancyStart Boot Screens (Star Wars, Wall-E)

These are some custom boot screens I created with FancyStart for the ASUS G60 Gamers Republic laptop. This is the coolest thing ever as I always hated boring text based boot screens. The program lets you select pictures and then use them in sequence or random every time you boot.. Same thing with audio files.. I just named all my files 01... 02.. 03 etc for both the pic and sound then did sequential.

Every time I press the power button on my computer, I get a nice little treat before Windows starts. I plan on adding new screens as I find new things to enjoy, Tron will be my next project.

There are a few bugs with the program as some of the audio get's cut short even though I moved the slider to extend the playback duration.

If you want your default Gamers Republic pic/audio back, just turn off FancyStart in your bios.. You'll never lose the default.

This stupid clicking sound you hear is from my cheesy video cam.

Here's how to get the Audio files working...
I used an audio converter (AVS Audio Converter) and saved my wav's as

PCM

Mono

Bitrate 512 kbps

Sample Rate 32000 Hz

Sample Rate 16 bit

hope this works for you!

Post videos of your screens and let me know when you put them up would love to see and share with others out there!

how did you change the sound? i tried and it keeps saying that its not a valid wav file

@sweetcriminal2670 Hi Thanks for asking.. That's part of the reason I put the video up, because I had problems figuring everything as well..

I was here, on this video, twice on my journey to make a working wav for my asus laptop. finally i found a way to convert a wav to a compatible format using ffmpeg with this commandline:

ffmpeg.exe -i input.wav -vn -f wav -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -y output.wav

@CAJS117 Make the image the size of your resolution. then shrink the canvas to a 4:3 ratio. eg My original image is 1366,768 then I change it and save it as a 1024,768 - the photo initially looks stretched but it un-stretches when it's applied... It does how ever lose quality... The reason it can only take 4:3 images is that the GPU isn't setup with VBE Bios extensions and thus is stuck to old world resolutions...

wen i make one its always stretched

@xbones0013 I'd like to make a boot screen with quake logo and quake 2 sounds... is it doable? I already have a video screensaver of me playing Quake or Crysis which is really cool.

@sweetcriminal2670 for FancyStart you have to use a .wav file. the file has to be smallish because if you try and use a song as a wav file that is really long it won't work. if you try it, go into audacity or something and make sure the audio you are using is exported as a .wav format and is like, less than 20seconds long
