Editing Splash Screen on V26-09a Beta - Page 3

I also thought about that. But unless I know how they create the checksum, I cannot reproduce it.
The most simple would be XOR but there is also CRC etc.

I guess without further inside info we are screwed or can just try.
My program replaces the images very exactly. So if someone can exchange the image with a smaller one (filesize) and it works, then we know that there is no checksum.
With bigger file is always the risk to "disturb" the bytes of the next file.

In my experiments, I tried to change 7 bytes in the logo part of navboot (just for testing checksum existance). After that Paint opened the logo (copied from navboot), but navi writes about error during update. I think, checksum control exists.

@DaRkY
Which bytes did you change? Did you check if the image was still valid?
Paint opened it but that doesn't anything since it might repair the file.
Best way would be to replace it with a smaller valid file.

I uploaded an altered navboot here:
www.carmes.de/download/software/navboot
Maybe someone can try that.

I think, that checksum calculating is not so easy

For example, checksum of 1 FF byte file is 3045181057, and checksum of 1 FE byte file is 1738016605.

If we know where the checksum is and how it is calculated. We just calculate it for the altered navboot.
But that need more inside information or luck finding it

I have the same issue, how did you solve it? thanks

I've downloaded the alcohol 120% and the files. However when I pick the v26-09a then click next it comes up with this message:

Because an unsupported image fiel format is being used,you should manually set the track format,block size and other information. You MUST do this to record the image file!

NOTE: The unsupported image file will be burned/emulated as a ONE-track_only disc. If this image file contains multi-track data,the burned/emulated disc will not be recorded the same as the original disc.

What should I do next???? HELP!!!

Why dont we extract the original BMW image used on the MK IV navs and see if that works... and then go from there

Bytes was in the centre of gif. I'll chek it with Paint. It is sensitive to the file format. It did not open edited files, that other progs opened.

Diferense between files I must fill with 00?

I can do it only tomorrow

I thought, that checksum calculating method is the same for all files. I'm a newbie in it.

Yes. But my program does it automatically when you insert a smaller image.

No, there are many ways. CRC32 is the most common and quite safe.
XOR is very easy and just used for smaller codes like the IBus/KBus communication.

Paul- I along with everyone else here applaud your efforts and your methods!
