0.5b - 22/03/2009 - http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/CrazyIntrov0.5b.rar
- Using GRRLIB 4.0
- Able to use effects fully configurable using the config file
- Picture size & position is configurable and press this and that stuff can be used too...
- Reset button leads to the system menu to overcome the wiimote sync issue with preloader.
- If there is no custom stuff on the sd card then displays a default intro
- All resource files should be in a folder named crazyintro in the sd card, and program no longer uses default names for sound and picture. Everything is configurable in the config file.
- Supporting 16/9 aspect ratio (?)
0.3 - 07/02/2009 - http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/CrazyIntroV0.3.rar
- Shutdown with wiimote works... Normal power button or reset doesn't work, probably interferes with mp3 playing... yet to be resolved.
- Made it somewhat configurable, you can assign channels to directional buttons in the wiimote and quick boot into them. Example config xml provided. PictureIntroEffect and PictureOutroEffect settings have no use at the moment.

bandup : parameters not used, experimental, doesn't work well
banddown : opposite of banddown.. parameters not used
enlarge_in : just try it out, param1 is speed
alternate_lines : alternate stripes of the picture come from each side of the
screen and form the image. parameters are not used.
stripes_up : the effect that I wanted to make perfect, but I ended with this
poor implementation, parameters are not used.
-->
<PictureIntroEffect selected="fadein" param1="5" param2="0" />
<!--
Picture effects are
none : just displays the custom logo without applying any effects
wobble : sinusoidal wobbling effect, param1 is speed (1-255), param2 is wobble width divisor (1-16)
presspicfade : you get a health screen much like the nintendo's health screen with this,
supplied press image (with PressImage tag) is positioned on top of the boot logo with the given offsets
and fades in and out.
enlarge : sinusoidal enlarge in x axis, param1 is speed (1-255)
scrollx : scrolling on the x axis, param1 is speed (1-255)
enlarge_xy : sinusoidal resize effect on both axis, param1 is speed (1-255)
in_out_rotate : zooming in, out and rotation... param1 is speed (1-255), if param2 is not zero than picture's
opacity will change with regard to it's distance...
zoominout : zoom in and out without rotation... param1 is speed (1-255), if param2 is not zero than picture's
opacity will change with regard to it's distance...

<!--
Outro effects are
none : does nothing
fadeout : will fade the picture out, param1 is speed (1-255), note : fade out doesn't capture the screen so this
is only useful for the presspicfade effect.

no parameters for this one.
-->
<PictureOutroEffect selected="alternate_lines" param1="5" param2="1" />

<BootImage filename="boot6.png" x_offset="120" y_offset="40"/>
<!-- Comments for BootImage holds true for this too... this image is only used in presspicfade picture effect

of this image -->
<PressImage filename="press.png" x_offset="445" y_offset="400"/>
