Hey everyone... I'm doing a theme for the Wii and I was able to change most of the images but the main background (the white part), I can not figure how to edit this piece (last time I themed a Wii theme and post it here was over a decade ago lol... literally) so I'm a bit rusty to say at least. I did searched throughout this site, tried downloading various Wii theming software (Wii Layout Editor no longer seems to work and others) and viewed tuts on YouTube to try to figure this out etc. Is there something I'm missing? This part alone is driving me crazy lol any assistance would be great! Thanks in advance!!

Hello sketch. I attempt to modify an existing theme and i have some difficults too^^
But for you i have maybe the solution.
FIRST AND THE MOST IMPORTANT BE SURE TO HAVE PRIILOADER , A FRESH NAND BACKUP AND/OR FOR THE BEST BOOTMII AS BOOT2 OR AS IOS MINIMUM.
You need themii. Cilc file then open and find your .mym. once open , on the left column look all the [simg]. On the right column you have information of the place of the picture and below the target where your custom picture is.
Seek a filepath with \layout\common\cmnbtn_ash_out\arc\timg\my_topBtn_a.tpl
Don't touch File but modify filepath to find the picture you want in correct size.
your picture must be in png format.
Hope it will help you. Maybe you have the solution of my problem. ;) have fun
since your threat is not close you can post question here i will visit sometimes.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
