Hardware I have an old WODE, and questions about the startup graphic...

[MarcusRaven]

So I haven't touched my Wii in years, but I've been wanting to mess around with the WODE chip I put in it. It still reads games, so that's nice. What I really need to know, however, is if anybody still knows how to change the startup graphic on the LCD screen. Years ago I changed it to something related to my ex-wife, and well... I want to change that. I'm all up-to-date on the firmware, though, so forcing an update doesn't seem to be an option. Maybe? Any help would be appreciated.

Wonder if there is a gamer equivalent of don't name anything after your girlfriend/wife similar to those doing tattoos or writing songs... though this is a new one (normally it is names in save games).

They were never that popular to begin with (though now are rare and desirable) so I don't know how many are familiar with their usage and still active today.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-wode-just-got-hacked.621114/ was not long ago so might have some insights there if whatever is still live or available on the wayback machine.
https://web.archive.org/web/20120301000000*/http://www.wodejukebox.com and a quick scan thereof reveals not a lot though.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/wode-review.207935/ mentions a tiny bit more but also nothing about startup in it.

Digging through the WODE forums that were actually saved in the Wayback Machine, I found mention of the old WODE Bitmap Customizer tool. A bit of Google searching, and I found a place that still had it. I was able to swap in some quick placeholder images that got rid of the old ones. Thanks for the starting point!

Nice. Also, you accidentally uploaded two of the same file.

I did? I can't see that on my end. Looks like its only listed once?

I guarantee that I can see two downloads, both are the exact same files with the same checksum.

Not sure how I did that, but thanks. I'll see if I can fix it.

EDIT: I just deleted it and made a new one. It's here now: https://gbatemp.net/download/wode-bitmap-customizer.37837/
