dsh-subor-startup

English | 简体中文

A boot animation plugin for DeepSeek Harness—bringing the power-on screen of that 1990s Subor learning console into your DSH.

Available on the plugin market / under review — see the Install section below.

Preview

Real screenshot of the boot screen: the CRT power-on, the 「小霸王」 pixel logo, the DeepSeek Harness subtitle and the 「其乐无穷」 slogan.

Features

Authentic CRT look　512×384 logical resolution with the Ark Pixel font, complete with scanlines, vignette, glass glare, the power-on line, rolling static and the collapse on shutdown—every detail of a CRT is there.

Real voice line　「啊哈」 (aha) and 「其乐无穷啊」 (endless fun) are sampled from the original console recording; 「DeepSeek」 is synthesized separately and pitch-matched to the source (F0 ≈ 130 Hz), spliced into one complete line: 「啊哈，DeepSeek 其乐无穷啊」.

A 108-tile classic game wall　Contra, Super Mario Bros., Battle City, Adventure Island, Jackal, Green Beret, Salamander, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Kage, Circus Charlie, Pac-Man, Galaga, Tetris, Bomberman, Excitebike, Arkanoid, Tennis, Macross and TMNT—every tile is a real game screenshot, with no two neighbouring tiles repeating.

Auto-play and skippable　Plays the moment DSH opens, no "start" button needed. Once the wall fills the screen, press any key to end it immediately; if you do nothing at all, a 30-second timeout releases the page anyway—it will never lock you behind a black screen.

Full-screen, no bezel　When embedded in DSH there is no TV shell—the picture fills the whole viewport. Everything scales proportionally from the 512×384 logical resolution, with image-rendering: pixelated keeping the pixels sharp.

Graceful fallback　If the game screenshots fail to load, the plugin falls back to built-in redrawn pixel scenes instead of showing a blank screen.

Install

Plugin market (once listed)

DSH Settings → Plugin Market → search dsh-subor-startup → click Install → restart DSH.

From GitHub

dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:hongshunanhai/dsh-subor-startup

From a local directory

dsh plugin --profile desktop add link:/path/to/dsh-subor-startup

Some DSH versions refuse terminal operations on the desktop profile (reporting "managed exclusively by the Electron application"). In that case, install from the desktop app's Plugins page instead.

Restart DSH after installing (quit completely, then reopen). The boot animation plays the first time you open it.

Requirements

Item	Requirement
Platform	DSH web profile / DSH desktop profile
Node	>= 20
Dependencies	None (no npm install needed)

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile desktop remove dsh-subor-startup

Only one boot plugin at a time

Enable only one boot-animation plugin. Running this alongside another, such as dsh-startup-screen, stacks both overlays and gives you two boot sequences in a row.

---

Skipping and sound

• Once the wall fills the screen (from about 7 s), press any key to end it immediately.
• Browsers require one user interaction before they allow audio: with no interaction the animation still plays, but the sound may be muted. Clicking the page unlocks it without triggering a skip.
• Even if you do nothing, the 30-second timeout releases the page automatically.

Compatibility

Environment	Supported
DSH web profile	✅
DeepSeek Harness Desktop (with webServer)	✅
