yea my bad again. mind looking at the .ini file and seeing if its right?
i meant 16 color 4 bit. my bad. and do you want me to upload all of what i did? cuz the tutorial only told me to make a progress bar, a 16 color 4 bit 680x460 background. and a file and save to .ini
ok so I've followed the tutorial. did everything it said to do. resize, change to 16 bit, make folder with other boot skins. but I just cant seem to get the darn thing to work. when i try to open it, it says "error could not load bootskin. possible cause is read only boot. or something like that. can anyone please help me with this. AIM is cyberspacemonk3y. im trying to make this for my dads company
