by any chance is there a simplified guide to setting everything up? like, detailed, but understandable? mostly i'm having trouble with a few things, like getting coverart to display, and icons for some apps. other than that seems to work fairly well so very nice just wish the instructions were better laid out XD

edit: oh, seeing the post a few up, just so its certain, i'm using the stuff from the 1st page, not anything beta-ish ^^;

go into _bagui/user files/***.txt and point to where you are storing the cover art. Like this:


[NDS]
#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/homebrew
#image type
type = png

[plg]
#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/homebrew
#image type
type = png

[sfc]
#path to the folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/homebrew
#image type
type = png

[smc]
#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/homebrew
#image type
type = png

If the icon wont show up it's probably due to not having an .ini file, or an .ini file set up incorrectly. The .nds, .bmp and .ini files are usually all stored together in the _dstwoplug folder. Here are examples of correct .ini files:


[plug setting]
icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/ClashDS.bmp
name=clashDS


[plug settings]
icon=fat1:/_dstwoplug/anotherworld.bmp
name=Another World

See how the format stays the same.

ahh, okay i think i get it. also double checking another thing. from initially setting up, i was followin the unofficial plugin wiki stuff and the official site as well, and putting the plugin files in the root. am i right in that, due to the pathing abilities of the gui, these files can be in that homebrew folder? oh, and is that file in /user files/*** supposed to be a .txt, or a .ini? just figured i'd be certain. otherwise, much obliged =D

If you look inside the _bagui/user files folder you should see that coverart and settings are .ini files, not .txt files...like the rest of the files in the _bagui/userfiles folder.
All plugins/homebrew go in the dstwoplug folder, not the _bagui/covers/homebrew folder, or the root of your micro sd card, for that matter.
_bagui/covers/homebrew <---the folder where I keep all the cover art for all my games.
For the coverart.ini file, I use NotePad and I bracket each file extension (.nds, .sfc,.smc, .nes) and tell the gui where it is positioned. I gave you an example in my last post that is the exact format, it was copied/pasted directly from my micro sd card.

For the plugins, you usually have three files, a .bmp, an .ini file, and the .nds file and they are all placed in the "dstwoplug" folder.
In the .ini file for each individual plugin or homebrew, you put "plug settings" in brackets, tell it where the plugin icon is located, and what you want the plugin to be named if you jump to the standard SuperCard DSTwo menu. You have to creat this file by using NotePad and naming it when your finished as *****.ini All three files should be named identically, just with different extensions (.bmp .nds .ini)

okay, i think i've got it just about all working. last thing that is givin me trouble are some plg files. icons, specifically. i double checked all the files and made sure the pathing was listed right, but ndsgba, iReader, and iPlayer don't seem to want to use their icons =/ other than that, much obliged for the help =D

I updated the DSTwo to work with the latest 3DS update maybe a week ago and also updated BAGPlug to the latest version (I was using Jan 2012 version), not sure whether it's the EOS or BAGPlug, but upon booting the DSTwo it now takes maybe 3 times as long to get past that white screen and for BAGPlug to come up. Anyone else experience this?
