Homebrew [Release] GYTB: Custom badges made really, really, simple.

[Reserved]

I'm not sure why, but whenever I scroll over a badge and then back to a folder, the home menu crashes and the console automatically restarts. I'm running 9.3 w/ HomeMenuHax, custom theme installed.

Tried to run GYTB. System menu 9.9U, Ironhax 2.5. It said it was creating the extdata folder, then checking for existing Badge Arcade data, then gave some "I AM NOT ENOUGH" error and some code that I didn't have time to read because the app reboots after a few seconds later. I don't have Badge Arcade since I'm not even on a high enough firmware. Do I have to set up a folder on my SD card beforehand, or can anyone explain what to do here?

You did everything right, I just accidentally broke compatibility with nonexistent extdata. Grab the latest and it will work.

...Huh. Not sure what's up with that. You're the only one to try it on 9.3 so far, maybe Nintendo's stability updates actually make a difference after all.

I'm pretty sure it's HomeMenuHax that's causing the problem. I temporarily deleted the hax and everything ran fine. Re-installed it and it froze over folders. Doesn't seem to be a custom theme thing, either, as the default theme did it, too.

Thanks, works great. It's still surprising to me how this whole system is part of extdata and not part of a whole firmware update.

Same here. I'm very impressed that we have this on lower firmware!

Has anyone gotten apps to load with this that are not system menu titles I tried the titleID for iron fall but it didn't work however microSD works as a base for N3ds

Nintendo Arcade badges will now no longer be deleted. Category and layout information will still be lost, as always. I also ask that you continue to create custom badges and do not distribute the official ones.

awesome! question do you think having them sorted the way official badges will be possible at some point? what about not overwriting previous custom badges? loving the work you've done with this so far. i've spend the last 3 days worth of free time on making badges.

Here is My custom @smealum microSD Management badge launches straight to it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Presumably some part of the BadgeMngFile that I skipped filling out would caused a read from uninitialized memory, which would sometimes happen to work out by chance. e.g. it reads from badge set 0 despite badge set 0 not existing.

Pedro, look up the european PIDLow for the app you want, e.g. 00022000 for settings. Then name your image whatever.00022000.png


Everyone else, the download in the main post has been updated with improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments made to enhance the user experience. If you get errors on opening badge settings, try running the latest version. I'm also curious if the same changes that made things work for Crimson will do the same for firmwares below 9.5.

Can this be done with Eshop titles I tried with Ironfall but to no avail

 

[NohbdyImportant]

I can't seem to get it to work, all it seems to do for me is delete my badge data and not write anymore. I've tried running with badges placed, without badges places. With freshly downloaded badge data and with the erased badge data. It'll say it succeeded but I can't figure out how to actually place them. Am I just dumb, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Still can't get it to work. Downloaded the latest version and all it says is "Extdata exists, error could not detect NNID!" and boots me back to the homebrew menu. I'm running 10.3 on a N3dsXL, if that matters.

anyone know what the ID for folders are?

Nope. Just system titles.

That's the point though. I can't update until I can actually access HBL and reinstall Ironhax. Right now it crashes upon Homemenu ROPBIN Ready (says Ninjhax 2.1 beta at the top) and boots me back to the system menu. Previously it only did that with wifi enabled. Thus why I want the 2.1 boot.3dsx file as right now all I have is the 2.5.

That does not depend on the boot.3dsx, but the payload. The payload is stored in your ironfall save file.
I'm sorry but there's nothing you can do unless you can access homebrew some other way.

 

[Valyou]

Folders as in actual HOME Menu folders? You just pin badges onto an actual pre-existing folder, press the top right option button in your badge box, then "attach badge to folder" However, you'd need 9.6.0+ to do so, pinning badges to folders wasn't introduced until that firmware.

rip n3ds so 9.5 emu at least i know now

If the payload was stored in the save, it would still work. I never reinstalled Ironhax or anything, just came on one day and couldn't access it.

 

[Brawl9977]

so are there any possible negative effects or downsides to this homebrew?

 

[deblon23]

is there a way to extract the official badges into PNGs?

 

[termitavee]

I'll give it a try to see what can I do.

just a question, to make a shortcut to an application it says to put the tittle "between the first and second periods.". Well... where you should put it?

should be something like "eurStreetPass00022800.png"?

 

[deblon23]

also how do make desire transparent background? I'm making some cool badges

Editing a png image you can make transparences by erasing. This depends on the tool you are using.
