Homebrew [Release] CHMM2 - Custom Home Menu Manager 2

[Xenosaiga]

I installed the latest CIA build using FBI and when it loads, it says to press Power to initialize the program. I press Power and get this:
Error: [string "?"]:111: cannot intialize Sound moduleh
Press A to restart
Press B to exit
Press Y to enable FTP server
FTP state: OFF

You have to have the DSP firmware iirc.

Download the DSP firmware dumper from @Rinnegatamante's site and use it to get the file you need for CHMM to work.

Some progresses about Theme Downloader linked with @MarioErmando 's 3dsthem.es

I can't get shuffle to work at all.

Installing an individual theme works fine, but if I put a bunch of themes into those boxes and press X, it says it's installing them, then when I exit it's just on the default theme...

Does anyone know what is wrong?

And also Theme Downloader linked with 3DSThem.es is finished!

I installed the latest cia using BBM, and I get the whole "press power to initialize" thing, but the entire system's frozen at that point, anyway. I have to force-shutdown the system and stick to using the homebrew launcher.

Is it cause I'm using a gateway emuNAND? Or is it cause I used BBM to install the cia? Honestly idk, I'm too lazy to dig through 39 pages just to see if someone had the exact same problem I had. >.>

You need to extract your DSP firmware. Rinn has a nice dumper on his site. The site is linked in the OP.

Does the Home Menu Manager not shuffle themes? I pressed x and put 10 themes onto the theme shuffler and pressed x again and it said installing... but when I go back to the homemenu, it doesn't work. I have the .cia version installed and did the whole DSP thing yet no dice. Installing on theme works though.

 

[Godson777]

Right, so, after enough experimenting, I learned that the system wasn't freezing right upon loading the app like I assumed. (However, the DSP thing was probably something I should've done from the beginning anyway. So, thanks @TecXero >_>)

However, the system freezes when hitting start on the "press power to initialize" screen. So yeah, probably not a good idea for me to be pressing start (or any button other than power, I assume) at that screen...


EDIT: Also, background music doesn't seem to loop when using cia version. Unless I'm just stupid and it requires a complete reboot or something.
EDIT2: Or my system went full retard and started looping the background again upon installing the theme again...

 

[Fureshyu]

@Godson777 Cia version does loop it, I'm using it right now.

Yeah I know, I just edited my original post again, lol.

I think my system went full retard decided not to loop once until I installed it again.

ok, quick question before I screw my emunand up

Will installing this to my emunand and changing my theme there mess up my menuhax I use to boot into emunand? cause changing a theme does that to emunand.

if your NANDs are linked, changing your theme in emunand will affect sysnand. otherwise no.

HOW TO CREATE A THEME

A theme is composed by several files:
body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Screenshot used by CHMM2 for preview system.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound, used by CHMM2 for preview system.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

- To create first three files i recommend to use YATA+ ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-yet-another-theme-application-plus-yata-3ds-theme-editor.393355/ )
- To create BGM.ogg file i recommend to use Audacity ( http://audacityteam.org )

FAQ

Q) I get "cannot initialize Sound module" error when using CIA/3DS version, how can i solve?
A) You need a DSP firmware (dspfirm.cdc) to use CHMM2 as CIA/3DS version. You can dump it using DSP Firmware Dumper, uncart, braindump or Decrypt9.
