Hacking Banners/icon templates for Wii VC

[JamesPotkukelkka]

Why retail wii u games have different bootDrcTex.tga(1.229.808 [bits or bytes idk]) and bootTvTex.tga(2.764.848) size's than these wii vc files?

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

Gimp 2 can make these files the right size for wii vc just untick the rla pack. This is helpful because you don't have to pirate photoshop and gimp is 100% free.
edit:gimp can only make the icontex.tga at the right size

markehmus select all of it and press del then write your own title. font size 30 is good and for release date remove the year only

@Taleweaver You can also copy the layers for the text from the GC banner file That one already has to positioning and everything at the right place.

Can someone who's made these before take a look at mine & make sure I've done them correctly. I'm making injects for a bunch of games for my 5yr old & I'm not finding icons / banners for the little kid games.

Here's Wii Mater-National & Wii Mater's Tall Tales. They are in png format since I'm using TeconMoon's WiiVC Injector but do I lose the layers that way?

Figured I'd ask before Making the Sesame Street ones. FYI, you might think I could just test them out myself but the WiiU is a christmas present. I just couldn't wait to play w/ all these awesome homebrew tools.

WHAT??! just noticed I can add a boot sound & boot image. love it.

The repo is missing banners for the following games:
Mario Strikers Charged Football (R4QP01, done)
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (RDSPAF)
The Last Story (SLSP01)
Pandora's Tower (SX3P01)
Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (RWLP01)
Crash Mind Over Mutant (RC8P7D)
Need for Speed Undercover (RX9X69)

(Semi-)Bad games, maybe not worth it:
Sonic and the Black Knight (RENP8P)
Dokapon Kingdom (R2DPJW)
YuGiOh Wheelie Breakers (RYOPA4)
Avatar the Last Airbender (RLVP78)
Cooking Mama (RCCPGT)

I know for sure that some games are there, but just the USA version. if you use teconmoons injector, it will download those instead of the PAL ones(it will always default to USA if others aren't found). But more options is always good

@markehmus I've added your banners from the last few pages to the repo

kind of a chore huh

.. thats why boot sounds are ignored

Actually the injector app doesn't support custom sound downloaded from the repo, so it's kinda pointles to have them there. It's doable but improbable due @TeconMoon has been missing for long time.

I've setted a general "sound" folder for gcn injection, feel free to add boot sounds inside Wii games folders, each sound should go in the same folder as the bootTvTex/iconTex per game.

on gimp you need to flatten the tvtex image ("Image->Flatten image") so it gets to the right size

Thanks to the help of wonderful folks at GBAtemp, majority of my Wii collection is now injected.

I need to check few more boxes, so far 20+ games are missing banners/icons - some real hidden gems.

I'd like to help out with these, but realized I was doing it wrong with my first attempts. Seems I need to rip banner images from Wii somehow. I originally used screenshots from Dolphin but looks like crap. Especially compared to the amazing work done by cucholix and others.

If anyone is willing to help step me thru the process, I would really appreciate it. I'm committed to getting all these proper and uploaded.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.

Thank you so much! I extracted all the "opening.bnr" files, but I'm clueless about where to go from there. Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize that file type. How do you recommend I proceed? Thanks

just use the banner player without extracting all the files.

if you get a bad banner img in the player then build the banner from the files using the tpl converter
