Ok, I finally got the disc to burn correctly where it will boot up. The problem that I am having now with me D2 is the the pic is scrambled up or will not load at all. Any suggestions?

NM, i figured it out. I had to disable the auto resize. The magic formula is like said before 500x240 72dpi. My advice is just to make sure that your PIM file is the exact same file size as the factory ones. These are a couple that i did.

I followed the instructions for SL burning and got my backgrounds on no problem. Thank you!
BUT there is a LACK of information on how to do the Startup picture. Some threads say to replace BGOPEN.JPG some say replace BGOPEN2.jpg and regardless, I think there are a few of us here whom cant seem to make it work.
The only info I got was that my startup logo was to small in size (8kb). I fixed that and made it 38KB with NO LUCK.
Yes I reset it too.
This sucks! The info here is not complete and the help doesnt come to often.
POO! I say POO!

i get a Data read error when i try to load them up...what did i do wrong?

Ok, I need some suggestions. I successfully made a new map disc last night, however my images appear pretty pixelated. I am going to try and burn another disc tonight using a different PIM creator and see if that solves the problem.
Any other suggestions? Is there a limit to how many colors can be displayed? All the pictures I used were at one time high res. pics?
Thanks!

JasonH said:NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE D1 AND D2 ONLY!
1. Download "Jerry's PIMMGR" HERE: http://www.avic411.com/forum/download.php?id=6
2. Make the image you want using a image editor of some kind and using PIMMGR and save it as a .PIM. NOTE: JPEG -> PIM has some problems, I reccomend using common colors the D1 allready knows (Blue, Black, White, etc).
3. Take the NAV DVD you use and stick it in your computer.
4. Download "DVD Decrypter" Here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1011845169/1
5. Open DVD Decrypter, click mode, ISO, then read.
Then click the big button at the bottom.
6. Once the iso making is done, open the image with a ISO Editor, such as UltraISO. (or for you mac users, use OSX :P )
*SKIP THIS STEP IF USING A Dual Layer DVD*
7a. Navigate to /IDX/
7b. Delete:Ballerinstaller said:POIDT004.IDX, POIDT043.IDX, POISR201.IDX through POISR207.IDX
*RESUME STEPS*
8. Navigate to /BG/PIM2DIN/
9. Add the custom .PIM file you created.
10. Save the ISO
11. Burn the ISO with Nero (or equivilant)
12. Insert Burned DVD into D1.
13. Select your custom wallpaper file. The D1 will load it.
13a. DUAL LAYER ONLY: YOUR DONE!
REGULAR DVD:
13b. Eject the DVD and put the stock one back in.
14. YOUR DONE!
So i've completed step 5 and I get 3 files a .I00 .MDS & .I01 not an ISO. What do i do?
Also, when you say "(or for you mac users, use OSX )" .... How do I do that ?
Thanks

For the Mac users out there, you would need to use "disk utility" to create and burn .ISO's.

Jason I tried this procedure for my D2. I used Jerrys PIM manager, DVD decripter and ultra ISO. I burned the ISO ( What does ISO mean also lol) with NERO. I removed the POI files from the IDX directory and uploDED TWO pim files to the BG/PIM2DIN Directory
Everything went flawlessly until I tried to load in the new PIM backgrounds on my new ISO disc. Is there an issue with Jerrys PIM manager. I get an unrecognized format and the player defaults back to the standard format. Help Daryll
