Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[TotalInsanity4]

Just tested my splashes and realized they need to be in 4:3 to display correctly. [user]AbdallahTerro[/user], do you know any good methods of squishing a widescreen image to 4:3 so it appears widescreen again when stretched?

On another note, I had some weird experiences testing. On Mario Kart Double Dash, it entirely skipped the screen even though it is named correctly and went to the "choose progressive" screen, and with Super Mario Sunshine, the screen displayed, but the console locked up after displaying the BIOS (although I have the feeling my ISO got corrupted in this case... Good thing I back up my backups! I'll use my full ISO later and tell you if anything changes)

Edit: For the aspect ratio part, I'm an idiot. I just found out that you use MS Paint to VERY easily change the resolution of an image. Both still look good since they were over the required resolution, I look forward to making more in the future

what's the doubledash ID you used?
Sunshine is very picky when it comes to video modes

Edit: DDash working fine here!
are you sure you are using the latest mod?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

For ppl with issues when using USBLGX autoboot:
can you please update and try the latest dol
*Added FPAD update as Airline suggested to fix the black screens when argsboot and usb hid are used

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Added Triforce custom game loader themes to repository (replacing the gamecube games with same ID)

I haven't had any autoboot issues but I'll update anyway and let you know if it still works.
EDIT: Yup, still works!

Never had autoboot issues either...
Updated and:

It now doesn't read arguments from ULGX anymore, also Wii U widescreen feature got broken >_<
Can you post your 318 or 317 release?

EDIT: I'm starting to suspect that people that never had problems with nintendont + ULGX was always using your builds.

This is confusing!
It now doesn't read arguments from ULGX anymore: is that using my latest mod?
people that never had problems with nintendont + ULGX was always using your builds: you mean that my previous version works fine for you?
This is 315mod - boot.dol is inside nintendont folder:

[OriginalHamster]

nvm, 319 is working correctly

 

[VinsCool]

I was using ABZ mod all that time and autoboot never failed to me

 

[AbdallahTerro]

*made F-Zero universal theme, also universal Mario kart Arcade GP theme
*removed Wii/Gamecube signature from half the images

 

[Farowe]

I tested latest mastermod release: autoboot is functioning properly again.

Yes, I updated right before testing to be sure, and I was using GM4E01. I'll update to latest and test later when I have a chance

there were many bugs in the code and I updated like 10 times during the past 2 days,
so just update again and check.
I tested myself and all games including DD load the custom theme just fine here

I asked in the cfg page but crickets

Repository:
Added 100 Custom Game Loader images with progress bar for the most popular games
(I won't add more of these unless requested)
All games have custom images without progress bars though

Needless to say that online download for all these images is already available in the Download Themes menu
Don't ask me if a game have a custom theme with progress bar or not, just try downloading and find it out
