'''Splash screens''' are images that can be displayed on the top and bottom screen during startup. You could use these images to, for example:
* Remind you of key combinations (e.g. hold SELECT for Luma3DS configuration, hold START for Luma3DS chainloader)
* Display a commemorative BIOS screen
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Splash screens are '''static images'''. If you want to see an ''animation'' on boot-up instead, check out [[3DS:BAX|BAX]].
</div>
{{info|text=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Splash screens do not display ''during'' the boot process, they '''interrupt''' it. For instance, if you have a splash screen that last three seconds, your boot time will be increased by three seconds.</span>}}

== Enabling splash screens ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
In order for splash screens to be displayed, they must be enabled from Luma3DS configuration. You'll only need to do this once (unless your configuration file is reset).

If you have a PIN enabled, the splash screen will be displayed ''after'' you enter your PIN.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
By default, the splash screen will last '''3000 milliseconds''' (3 seconds). If you wish to extend or shorten this time, modify the <code>splash_duration_ms</code> line in the file <code>config.ini</code> (inside the <code>luma</code> folder).

== Splash screens with fastboot3DS ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
[[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] is also capable of using splash screens if you want to have two splash screens for some reason (or don't want to use Luma3DS's splash screen feature). You can use the same splash screen images that you'd use for Luma3DS.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
On boot, while the splash is displayed, you will be able to hold the (Home) button to enter fastboot3DS's menu.
</div>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Hold the (Home) button, then power on your device while still holding (Home) to enter fastboot3DS's menu</span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">#* Normal boot - Splash will display and then boot into fastboot3DS's menu</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">#* Quick boot - Splash will display and then boot into the first available boot slot</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">#* Quiet boot - Splash will not display normally on boot, but will still show when holding (Home) button to enter fastboot3DS's menu</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Press (B) to go back, then navigate to <code>Change splash...</code></span>

<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">#* For example, if your splashes are in <code>luma</code>, then hover over <code>luma</code> (do not enter the folder) and press (X).</span>

== Creating a splash screen ==
If you want to put your graphic designer passion into use, you can create your own splash screen. This process can be generally simplified with the [https://jigglycrumb.github.io/splash-ds/ splash-ds web tool], but the gist is:
</div>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Create your images with an image editor of your choice</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">#* The top screen must be '''400x240''' px and the bottom screen must be '''320x240''' px</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Open the [https://jigglycrumb.github.io/splash-ds/ splash-ds] website</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Drag-and-drop your images into the website, and play with the settings as you see fit</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Click "Download splash screen"</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Open the resulting <code>.zip</code> file that the splash screen is inside of</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Put your SD card into your computer</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Extract <code>splash.bin</code> and <code>splashbottom.bin</code> to the <code>luma</code> folder on your SD card</span>
<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"># Put your SD card back into your 3DS</span>
