Boot Screen Template (and Liquid Crystal Problem)

[Patrick74161]

Hey, I don't know how to handle this idea but it's something that I was thinking about.

I was looking into Downloading Pokemon Liquid Crystal hack for GBA and got it all working, and then had the idea that the boot screen should be a template for all who choose to use it in their ROM hacks.
It says the normal Nintendo and Gamefreak Copyrights but has a spot for the author(s) and a website or social media(as seen here).

I created a mockup in Paint off the original from FireRed and this is how It came out:

(In my case LINKANDZELDA and pokemonliquidcrystal.com)
Remember that's only a mockup so it's just an image-no game was edited.

I've seen tutorials (and even posted threads) about how to change the base FireRed boot screen and that worked but the values don't match up for the hacked Liquid Crystal. I don't know if LaZ is still active but if anyone knows the number for the LC Bootscreen that is appreciated. I know FireRed is 207 and 208(LC has Charizard sprites there)...I guess it's just a pet peeve of my mind not seeing Black and White there like when I first played the Gen 3 games..lol

Thanks!
(And if you use the template credit is totally optional but is nice if you wanna put it in somewhere..I'm sure I wasn't the only one that did a similar thingie though. If you do use it feel free to send the game ROM to me, i'd love to see everyone's edits and such. *thumbs up*)

Mini-Tutorial Time!
Open up a clean version of your rom in a hex editor and unLz.
Go over to 207 and search until you find the boot screen image.
Now we are going to take the offset that unLz gives us. (I got 0x402280 for the image offset)
Now we make it into reverse hex (80 22 40 08) and search for it in the ROM with the hex editor.
I got 0x0EC610 as the offset in the ROM.
If you open Liquid crystal to that offset, you will get the boot screen.
I'll let you do the raw.

Thanks for the reply..
I'm a real newbie here, so i'm asking this question:
How do I find what number in UNLZ to place my .RAW in basing it from the offset?
I was successful in making the .RAW in NTME though..It's linked if that helps with anything.(?)
