1.using 1.00 I opened your example RCO.
2. I extracted the gameboot branding to a 32-bit bmp image
3. I then replaced the gameboot branding with the one I had just extracted.
-invert and padding option both enabled.

4. Flashed it then a freeze on starting an EBOOT.

2. Extract the gameboot branding.  I get this MD5:

3dc3f37ff8ca07a9213e9c538a49dbb0

3. Replace the gameboot branding in the RCO with this BMP.  I obtain an MD5 for the RCO:

b53d8636b73ee3ffbd2c336c4edc652b

It's odd (since two people are having this problem).
I tried playing around a bit:
Extracted 8bit BMP gameboot branding:

e687acb8bf63fc5f8dc5fc3926174645

After replacing with the invert option selected (will invert the picture):

35a8622d3cb7eb535009b123c06ae962

If the 8bit BMP is replaced without inverting the alpha channel, then the MD5 obtained by replacing the icon is identical to the original MD5.

Now, testing with the coldboot branding:
MD5 of 32bit extracted BMP:

e5f9836b2a64f901058e02577fce0ab1

MD5 of 8bit extracted BMP:

5e4a13ef4b77051eb1b6b79c4f2ceccf

MD5 of replacing with an inverted coldboot branding:

27df2ab571458391ae7caf3bdef60662

Testing both the 32bit and 8bit (non inverted) gives the same MD5 as the original.


So basically, I'm unable to replicate your problem   If you don't mind, could you repeat what you did and check the MD5s for me?  If you find a discrepancy, please send me the file so I can see if something's stuffed.

Thanks a lot for keeping up ;)
