Hacking Custom Icons on Home Screen?

[WiiThePeople1776]

I wanna make a custom icon for the WUP Installer forwarder on my home screen. I know they are .tga files, but my editor does not support that! I need help.
Also, what are the dimensions for the icon? Thanx.

I wanna make a custom icon for the WUP Installer forwarder on my home screen. I know they are .tga files, but my editor does not support that! I need help. Also, what are the dimensions for the icon? Thanx.

Found this thread while helping someone else with forwarders: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-create-edit-tga-files-for-haxchi.465027/

TL;DR: Paint.net can save TGA images, which need some additional hex editing afterwards;

bootDrcTex.tga : needs to be 854x480, uses 24 bits, uncompressed (Tablet Image)
bootTvTex.tga : needs to be 1280x720, uses 24 bits, uncompressed (TV Image)
iconTex.tga : needs to be 128x128, uses 32 bits, uncompressed (App Image)

Also boot sounds?

https://github.com/FIX94/haxchi mentions the boot sound,
which can be generated using: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wav2btsnd-simple-tool-to-create-btsnd-files.447896/
