Nice work mate. I got to a point that I was happy with it and installed a few games. Don't make them too good that I have to go through and ftp updated ones Haha!

I think I nailed it, looking at a comparison to the reference N64 image.

No idea, I just ran color to alpha on black and then used the remaining graphic on another layer above where the user puts the screenshot, but I have a gimp template I'll be uploading sooner or later so feel free to wait if you'd rather not bother with that yourself.

Nice one. That mask def looks alot better than the hack job i created haha! however, I originally had the text exactly in-line with the n64 banner text as yours shows now but with games that require two lines of text I found it to be a bit cramped and hard to read. For instance "The legend of zelda: four swords adventures" I decided to drop it down a fraction.

For convenience, here is the shine used, you can just put it on a transparent layer above the screenshot layer.

thx ... ill try it , but i find using transparent overlay darkens the pick to much so far, ill see how it goes

 

[pedro702]

can anyone make Resident evil remake and resident evil zero ?

the one in OP looks very dark and has no vc template at all.

I asked this over on the VC release thread but it got lost in all the wiisx hysteria, so......

"I've installed some GC injects with this and wanted to know if there is a 'shortcut' way if I just wanted to customise the icon (change iconTex.tga) Do I have to completely start again or is there something I can alter in the WUP installable 'packed' files?"

Maybe @CheatFreak47 would be nice enough to use the new template with one of these screenshots?

If you mean you want to change the iconTex.tga on a game that is already installed on the Wii u, yes you can ftp the new image over the original one. It would need to be the correct format though.

[CheatFreak47]

Alright! Before I go to bed (in the morning here, I have terrible sleep habits I guess) here's images for three games in the links below.
The games are Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Super Mario Sunshine, and GIFTPIA.

Additionally, theses templates for GIMP and some updated directions. Thanks to @Crazystato for his original templates which mine were based on.

You can download the goods here permanently here:
https://filetrip.net/wiiu-downloads...-icon-gimp-templates-examples-0-1-f33650.html

and here is a MEGA folder that might not be as permanent but is more regularly updated with my latest work.
https://mega.nz/#F!lxcFVJaS!9INSGisV6u9yFNjeDsPnTg

more banners will be uploaded on filetrip eventually too, but not until I have a huge number of them made.

Oh, as a little bonus, I included a nice bootSound.wav for the script, it's of the GameCube boot up sound.

Haven't used Photoshop in ages but thought I'd have a go myself using the templates, didn't know how to curve the corners of an image I inserted, so I kinda bodged it but it works Will be doing more and sharing them

Decided I will edit this post with new banners I get around to do, they're not the best but they look good enough to me

You can download these from my MEGA folder here

Have those in my PC (except RE4 as it was released officialy by Capcom)

Wii versions right?

 

[cucholix]

Have the same top down pic for the purple console? Or similat to it?

Also, did you use a translucent layer on top of the console pic? If so what color it is and the opacity %

I think we should consolidate a single GCN VC template, in both photoshop and gimp format. Though I'm more inclined towards the purple one because it was the official color at launch, and most iconic one.

photoshop and gimp format

and paint.net please
