Would love to be able to set custom splash screens for each individual payload like in nyx. I know you can still change the argon, hekate and atmosphere splash, but I have not found a way to launch android or lakka through argon with their respective splash screens. Would love a way to be able to do so, as converting lakka and android's coreboot.rom into .bin files launch through argon with no issues, but no custom splashcreen, just black then the lineageOs boot animation, or lakka's bootlogo. If I'm doing something wrong would love some assistance as I would love to use argon in place of hekate's launcher as it is faster and more lightweight on the switch. I am new to the switch hacking scene so im not sure if im asking for too much but I assume it shouldn't be too hard to add in the function if its not possible currently.
This has nothing to do with Argon itself... The payloads would have to be modified in order to load a splash.

I mean, no particular reason that argon couldn't display an image onscreen before booting a payload.
Of course doable. But with the payloads that already have a splash, none should be loaded. And the user would have to do that himself. An image with the same name as the payload is loaded before the payload loads. But that would extend the payload loading by the time the splash is displayed.

@impeeza No problem... :)

New in ArgonNX-SE v1.8:

- New feature: Ability to load a custom splash for each payload
- The image must have a resolution of 1280x720px and format ARGB32, like background.bmp
- The image must have the same name as the payload and be located in the "argon/payloads" folder, e.g. at fusee.bin = fusee.bmp

Update first Page to v1.8-SE :)

FastCFWswitch Tesla plugin can boot Hekate with arguments. You can boot lakka, switchroot,l4t or whatever.

Its not a boot menu. Its a Tesla overlay in HOS but I find it easy,convenient, Fast.

Mine boots
Atmo
SxOS,
L4T
LAKKA
Atmo in SysNAND
Hekate.
Lockpick

Everything. It works in SX making it a great USB storage solution. You can go from SX to all of the above. Dunno how to get from the Droid/linux stuff back to atmosphere without reboot.

Can Argon boot Hekate with arguments?

Love ArgonNX using on my Dragon injector for years.

Surely there is such a payload somewhere...
@intellettuanale I made some new... Test it, Lakka not testet (not installed on my Switch), Ubuntu and Android works fine for me. :)
Requires ArgonNX-SE on SD card to work properly.

Yes, it just needs a hekate config. It will load hekate with your configuration from within Argon.

These payloads also work with an _ipl.ini and are based on hekate. If they work I'll make a separate topic for them later.

They doesn't work for me on the last argon version. Do I have to rename something?

New in ArgonNX-SE v1.9:

- This update is only required for Mariko and Aula consoles, has no advantage on Erista consoles, which use Reboot to Payload functions as usual.
- Mariko and AULA "Reboot to Payload" function chain
- Per HBL nro, menu nsp, system modules to nro (010000000000100B Nintendo Store Button), and ArgonNX-SE RTP Payload Tesla Overlay with possibility to choose a payload and reboot
- The whole thing works via ArgonNX-SE and this must then also be used as the root payload.bin. Please note SD folders and files.

Hello everyone

I'm currently working on adding more languages...
English and German are already available, and new Chinese. Still in test run...

I would like to have Spanish, Italian, French and Hungarian (maybe I can do Hungarian myself, but I need help, better have a Hungarian do it)

Who can and wants to help with the translation? Please write here in the topic and for which language.

Thank you in advance!

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
