Hello,
Once you have made the graphics, converted them to indexes, and transferred the graphics to BootEditor to compile it for SP2; you will need a hex editor like UltraEdit. You load up the hex editor to open the SP2 boot screen file and look for the line that says 00075680h on the left. Go to the ninth hex couplet and start typing everything in order listed from lines 00075690h to 000756c0h. When you get to the last eight hex couplets of line 000756c0h after typing the 64 hex couplets, type the following:
01 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF
Save the changes and you are ready to test the boot screen.
If you decide to not use BootEditor to insert the images, note that when you load up the hex editor to type in the palette, the sequence is Blue Hex Value, Green Hex Value, Red Hex Value, 00 and NOT Red HV, Green HV, Blue HV, 00. And yes, the palette is typed in order from index 0 to 15.
