used the way described in that tutorial... still didn't load.... how do I convert it from .txt to just .cht
Well windows is probably hiding the real extension from you... if you can tell it to not do that you'll be able to simply rename it to remove the .txt at the end. Unfortunately I'm not sure exactly where you can change that setting.

In Windows 10 it's in the View -> Options -> Change Folder and Search Options, View -> then uncheck 'hide extensions for known file types'.

I made another template that includes 150%, now that it's supported:Template.png
Maybe not my best work ever, but I threw these together for myself so figured I might as well share them.
Huh. What kinda reference did you use? Some of these aren't very well centered: screenshot_1441635834.jpg
The possible scale mode names are "off", "125", "150", "aspect", and "full".
Full? Borders aren't visible when the screen is scaled on "full". A file with that name couldn't actually be used as a border... Also, wouldn't it be more convenient if gameyob scaled the border by itself if it didn't find a pre-scaled one, rather than asking the user whether to display with a method or the other? I don't understand the point of making these two things options.

So, my Pokemon Red sram saves are getting corrupted several times, there is anyway to fix? Yes, I'm waiting the "RED saved the game!" message, but the saves are getting corrupted anyway. The only way I found to retrieve my saves is using PikaSav editor and saving again.

It's just there for completeness. All the scaling options can be specified, but not all are really needed.

Updated to 1.0.6:
  • Fix border scaling option text being too long. (thanks @FayneAldan)
  • Fix screenshots taking a long time.
  • Screenshots now only capture the current game screen.

After all that excitement, my computer's probably going to BSoD from trying to discard, fetch, and pull so much on Git. (I'm FayneAldan on GitHub. I made this username when I was younger and I can't change it AFAIK.)

Did you happen to encounter a Pokemon named MISSINGNO.?

A friend of mine that isn't really into the homebrew scene isn't able to use GameYob. I've given her all the steps to set everything up and she's shown my pictures of her computer with what she's got in all the folders on her SD. And everything seems to be set up the exact same way as I have it. But she tells me that when she tries opening GameYob, it just goes to a black screen on top and red screen on the bottom. But she's tried launching other things from the homebrew launcher and says the rest of the things work. Is there any reason she would be having trouble opening GameYob?

This may happen when HB doesn't have enough RAM left to launch GameYob. Try restarting the 3DS entirely and go to GameYob from there.
EDIT: And by resetting the 3DS, I mean turning it off then not. NOT factory resetting.

Tell her to put this on the SD root: https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/boot.3dsx

I feel dumb, but I can't make pre-scaled borders work. When I change zoom border doesn't change, I tried with button and menu.

Does it only work with bmp?

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
