Wrong conventions for mks tft

Description

These files will not boot with a mks tft. The mks 1) has image files in bin format, 2) uses a txt file for config, 3) has a different file structure. Because ofthese differences this firmware will not load onto a SW X1 v4 which uses the mks tft and not the BTT tft

Steps to reproduce

  1. Load files onto sd card
  2. Insert sd card and turn on X1
  3. Does not install, just boots as normal

Expected behavior
Load new firmware

Actual behavior
Doesn't load new firmware

Hardware Variant

mkstft28

All Artillery use a generic mks tft. I tested on SW X1 v4

  1. Check your sd format
  2. Restart from the button your SW x1
  3. Check the structure file is like the readme.md

This is not what just shipped to me, the structure that you are pointing to is the BTT type structure and what is needed with the mks tft is as follows:

1,According to the content that needs to be updated, copy the following file to the SD card:

(1)、update the config file：mks_config.txt
(2)、update images： mks_pic
(3)、update font： mks_font
(4)、update TFT firmware： mkstft28.bin
(5)、update Wifi firmware： MksWifi.bin

also the images are not .bmp they are .bin

This is what is shipping from Artillery3D as mine just arrived a week ago and this is the link to the firmware on the tft: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-TFT/tree/master/MKS-TFT2.8-3.2

I guess people don't know about this yet as your firmware is not the first that I've run into in the wrong format for the board.

Just follow the instructions. All Artillery are MKS-TFT2.8-3.2 and the firmware is built for MKS-TFT2.8-3.2

All Artillery use a generic mks tft. I tested on SW X1 v4

  1. Check your sd format
  2. Restart from the button your SW x1
  3. Check the structure file is like the readme.md

I am not trying to fight with you, but you do not have the correct information, here is the link to the official Artillery tft firmware: https://github.com/artillery3d/sidewinder-x1-tft-firmware

I assume that your information was from an older version but it's not the one that I received last week. Thank you for your help.
