If anyone's got a TomTom (720, other models have different options) and wants to use them, they're all here.

The files you need to replace on the root of your TomTom are:

antitheftw.bmp
lowbatteryw.bmp
splashw.bmp

(the or_antitheft and or_lowbattery are the originals, handy if you zap yours by accident)

For the sounds, the speed limit sound (Final Lap) should be put in the 'sounds' folder, and the arrive.wav file should be put in a folder on the root called 'customvoice' (create it if you don't have one. I didn't).

And that's it.

I decided to properly Mario Kart my TomTom 720 today:

Startup Screen


Low Battery Warning


Anti-theft/Shutdown Screen


Map Shot


I did the startup screen last year (with Toad as my car icon) but decided to see just how much I could do this time.

It now plays the final lap jingle when you go over the speed limit () and the race end jingle when you reach your destination. It's also got the SMK soundtrack on there for fun and added authenticity.

I toyed with a custom colour editor to try and make it look like Mario Circuit (grey roads, green grass, etc) but there are so many different types of road that I decided against it to keep things clear while driving, and to avoid any mishaps like similar colours making roads harder to see which would only become apparent while driving (the editor doesn't show you every road).

Your a legend for doing that and i dont have a Tom Tom or even a drivers licence!!!

[randombs]

Well now you've got some incentive!

I swear, if you could animate the car icon I'd have done Sonic running

Id buy a Tom Tom 720 for that!

That's amazing! Has The Shend seen this yet?

[randombs]

Yep. Question is, would he wear a tee with himself on it? The guy I'm using (DJLordstar from Shmups forum) can print on all kinds of things. Imagine a mug...
