.... also it's being updated every now and again to make it better, if you want the latest version I suggest heading over to supercard's DSTWO forum, I'm not sure if the one linked here is the latest.
That's why I also added the link to the forums - so that people can check. I'm not always popping in to update the link

I don't mean to double post, but it's just to let CannonFoddr know there's a new skin in his thread so he can update the OP.

Bluelights

I'm actually not sure how to install a loading screen, but I made one anyways for those who do know.

Edit: Figured out how to change the loading screen. Replace DSGAME.nds in the _dstwo folder with the one hacked with the bluelights loading screen found in the zip file of my skin.

Edit2: Made a "Plugin" skin to match the other one

Done-&-Done ... All on first post now

@ coattails: can you check the 'How to change the Loading Screen' instruction I've placed on first post..
I THINK that is how you did it, but really need confirmation - thanks

Yeah that's how I did it, those instructions are perfect.

What.. even the 'offset value' was right ??? - Wow I'm better than I thought (I wasn't sure 'cos it's a bit hard to see if the top edge was exactly right)

It's already skinnable, just change the images in the gui folder which is inside the system folder.

Erm - GBA Emulator is 'skinnable' - sort off - Look in '/NDSGBA/System/gui/' folder & you'll see the graphics used for the main menu etc

(oh - & to check something out - does anyone else have a graphics file with a name of '?µÁÁ.bmp' (or similar) in that folder ??? - it's a small orange floppy disk icon)

Do you see anything ??? like folders etc

If not I can only guess that when you edited your 'Loading...' screen - you didn't do it right quite right.

When using the program on first post to change the 'Loading..' screen - You MUST make sure you have the existing 'Loading' screen showing EXACTLY right before you replace it with whatever you want to change it to.

Your replacement graphic MUST also be exactly 256 x 192 pixels in size, & I think it also has to be 24-bit colour depth as well (although that part I'm not to sure about)

One way to see if you have made a mistake is to replace the 'DSGame.nds' from the official download & see if you get the games etc showing... if so, then you'll know it was the 'DSGame.nds' file that was causing the problem

    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too

    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
