The boot logo fix for dArkOS on the R36H Pro Max was brought to my attention by u/SirSavings5678 [Reddit]. It works by patching the boot sector of the sd card with blocks from an image from Arkos4Clone and then replacing the existing dtbs and boot.ini, also from Arkos4Clone. Afterwards any properly formatted 1024x768 BMP images will display properly.
This image also restores use of the Fn button by using a compatible ogage file, special thanks to u/Wivi2013 for the modded dtb. (https://github.com/Wivi2013/R4x-Type-Console-CPU-Freq-Fix-and-R45H-FN-button-Fix/releases/tag/Fixes)
