I think he mean a tool to generate the images that are needed to create footers. My tool dose this for GBA, it would be easy to add support for GB/C and NES, but I don't know if there is a demand for this or not. There might be a tool already out there that makes the footers for those systems that uses PNG images.A gb/gbc/nes tool would need to include copyrighted GB/GBC/NES banners (I think Riku's tool actually does include a copyrighted empty gba ambassador game banner) and would require considerably more efforts than generating two PNG images. And besides, you need to unpack the whole GB/GBC/NES NCCH to replace the ROM in the romfs... so at that point, you can as well edit the banner.

No, as far as I know there's not, and NES has even multiple CGFX files per banner, not even bannertool supports creating those
As of now, it's all manual with Ohana3DS and hex editors.Riku's tool has with every probability an embedded GBA CGFX which it injects the textures to.
where can we find the Riku's tool?No, as far as I know there's not, and NES has even multiple CGFX files per banner, not even bannertool supports creating those

I mean the "Simple GBA Converter". As it outputs a full CGFX, it must have at least that inside. Probably also a GBA game exheader

Ohana3DS can't do it (It can edit CGFX, yeah, but not rebuild them in a banner.bin).
You can do it with my script.
Create a new folder ExtractedBanner, then open HackingToolkit, write b, enter and then write 1 for extract a banner.bin, or 2 for rebuild your ExtractedFolder in a banner.bin.

I didn't know about your script, I did two custom NES banners but I used an hex editor
and lzx.I extracted & decompressed one of the language-specific CGFXs with an hex editor, changed it and the main CGFX with Ohana, then I remade the banner.bin (CMBD header + compressed main CGFX + compressed "language-specific" CGFX -just one- + BCWAV), and I made all the language specific CGFX offsets in the CBMD header point to the same CGFX.
Just copy the offset over and over in all the relevant places.How did you do it
(it's 0xFCFF in this case)
Good to know, thanksJust copy the offset over and over in all the relevant places.

This is a great tool! Thanks for making it! I would love to be able to use the proper font for banner 2 though, looks a little out of place compared to the legit GBA games!
Is there anyway for the program to use the font if we have it on our PC? Kind of like the way that YATA uses a SDK app for Sfx conversion?
I could figure out a way, maybe I'll do it within the next 7 days.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
I could just tell the program to use the font the user provides instead of the default one I programmed in.
Official releases of GBA VC games don't use the box art of the game. Hell none of the VC titles do, they all use the start screen of the game.
Does anyone here know how to make custom banners for 3ds games? I'd like to street pass people and have it say I'm playing pkmn sun/moon

In another thread, people had decided it was 'SCE-PS3 Rodin LATIN Semi Bold' (SCE-PS3-RD-R-LATIN) which you could only get in official development distributions.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
