Splashscreens

@sergioad I did do a fds boot splashscreen, but it was only just the image, no animation.

In case you didn't have Animaniacs stuck in your head, here you go:

@lilbud if you accidently delete a hard drive dont do anything else. There is programs that can recover the whole thing back to previous. I accidently formatted my very full 650gb 2nd drive in my laptop trying to format an external hard drive to the wii wbfs format to use on a modded wii. The program i used recovered it back to normal.

@edmaul69 Yeah, I tried those programs, but none of them were free. So this program could scan the drive and find the files, but if I wanted them back I had to pay 30 bucks.
When I lost everything on my school drive, I had to hand everything over to the schools IT team and hope they could recover everything, but they couldn't. If I tried anything, like recover the files my self, I'd get in trouble and given detention.

@lilbud touch situation. What i have done for years now is just invest in 2 hard drives. I have one hard drive that I run daily, and I have another that i keep in a fireproof safe. The second drive is just a backup drive. I will copy my daily hard drive to my 2nd backup drive about once a month, or any time i finish something big or important that i don't want to lose. This way if i accidentally reformat or have a drive fail on me, i have at least a semi-recent backup and wont lose everything. When i have a drive go bad, the first thing i do before i even start using the backup is go out and get another backup drive and make a copy. I have only had 3 drives fail on me over the last 16 or so years of heavy data computing and more modern hard drives and one of those failures was my fault in formatting, another was a drive I had moved from 3 computer builds and had for 12 years.....finally just stopped spinning on me.

@tmntturtlguy I do plan to get some kind backup situation at some point, probably a 4tb my book drive sometime, when I get the money and space.

I know its not the right post to talk about backup techniques, but its commonly suggested that a HDD will last about 10 years before it stops spinning. I had one in storage, quite new, 1tb, didnt spinup after 2 years of inactivity, a quick bump and it worked then reliably for the next few weeks.
The best backup we can use easily is SD card for crucial files. Just need to refresh the data once every five years or so. I tested an SD card leaving it in deepfreeze for 6 months, it worked perfectly once removed.
M-disc is a tech that looks like the perfect solution, but I havent tried it yet

Here is a link to the Imgur gallery containing all of my splashscreens. It will be updated with both new ones and redone splashscreens.
