ArgonNX SD card structure

How a full running ArgonNX example looks inside the SD card: 

argon
 ├─── payloads
 │       Atmosphere.bin
 │       ReiNX.bin
 │       fusee-gelee.bin
 │       hekate.bin
 │       SXOS.bin
 │
 ├─── logos
 |       Atmosphere.bmp
 |       Reinx.bmp
 |       hekate.bmp
 |       SXOS.bmp

 ├─── sys
 |       argon-nx-gui.bin # Menu
 |       minerva.bso # IMPORTANT if you want a good UX experience
 |       res.emunsw # IMPORTANT. Binary file containing all render resources except the background and logos
 |       hw.ini

 |       logos-gui
 |       lang.ini
 |       color.ini

 └─── background.bmp
      splash.bmp

Customize payloads' logos

Logos must be smaller or equal than 280x280. The only format supported is BMP 32 bit ARGB color. ArgonNX recommends using a solid background without alpha channel (alpha channel set to 0xFF). Payloads' logos support alpha channel. Example: 

argon
  ├───logos
  │     fusee-primary.bmp # Logo for fusee-primary.bin payload
  │     ReiNX.bmp # Logo for ReiNX.bin payload
  │
  └───payloads
        fusee-primary.bin
        ReiNX.bin         
        hekate.bin # Will be rendered using default logo
