  • How do I create a Custom Message on my game?

    Create a PNG image, 1366x768 with whatever you want on it. Name it custom_message.png and put that on a USB stick (with no game code), insert that into the USB extension cable, after several seconds you will get the screen with green type that says something like ‘audits copied . . .’ and to power cycle. After you power cycle, go into settings->standard and set ‘Custom Message’ to ‘On’.
