This is probably most complete skin made 'till this date..
I've put over 50 hours of work (over two months) into fitting all the small details, changing stuff and adopting..

Sakuratronic is a biomechanical skin (as I'm a biomechanical/robotic/radioactivity freak, so I've primary made this skin for personal use) based on Realtronic (skin made for M3 Reals official firmware, also by me), but it's actually completely new,
fully redesigned with lots of extra additions and designs..

Zip file you've downloaded contains two folders («Sounds» and «Game Loader»), default.skn skin file and Read Me (be sure to check it out)..
I strongly advise you to apply all files to your M3 Real/Sakura cart to fully enjoy experience of Sakuratronic..

How to set up properly, check Read Me file..

Many thanks to Densetsu3000 & ChaoticGeo (proper credits included into Read Me)..

If you like my work, please, leave a comment, or some kind of response..I always appreciate a feedback..

Cheers and enjoy..

Sakuratronic (a skin for M3 Real/Sakura) by Toni Plutonij

First of all, I'd like to mention that this is probably most complete skin made 'till this
date..I've put over 50 hours of work (over two months) into fitting all the small
details, changing stuff and adopting..
Sakuratronic is a biomechanical skin (as I'm a biomechanical/robotic/radioactivity
freak, so I've primarly made this skin for personal use) based on Realtronic (skin
made for M3 Reals official firmware, also by me), but it's actually completely new,
fully redesigned with lots of extra additions and designs..

Zip file you've downloaded contains two folders («Sounds» and «Game Loader»),
Sakuratronic.skn skin file and this ReadMe..
I stongly advise you to apply all files to your M3 Real/Sakura cart to fully enjoy
experiance of Sakuratronic..

To set up skin properly…….
1. Copy all 6 files from «Sounds» folder to SYSTEM>m3sakura>sndeff (from this
folder, delete all files except sndeff.dat) and paste contest you copied from Sounds

2. Copy all 21 files from «Game Loader» folder to SYSTEM, paste all files here
replacing the old ones

3. Copy default.skn to SYSTEM>m3sakura and paste it here..(if you don't want this
skin to load by default, rename default.skn>Sakuratronic.skn, then browse it with
Sakura and apply it)

4. Start up your NDS and enjoy the biomechanic setup of a system..


This skin is GBAtemp.net and wifipredators.com exclusive, so those two sites will
have Sakuratronic topic and the download link..If you really like my skin, and want to
use it on your site, I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail me at
[email protected] I'll be happy to respond any critisism/request you have..

Some people I'd like to mention who were huge help down the skinning road:

My girlfriend – giving me enough of free time, and being so supportive about this,
although I was using our own free time to do this, big kiss for her..

Densetsu3000 – a real Legend in my eyes, this guy helped me the most..I got the
English translation from him even few days before translation became public..
He also helped with his mad testing skills!! Checking up skin on every update,
helping me to improve it, and fix errors..Without him, this skin probably wouldn't
exist, and most of all, he became a really good friend..If there were more people like
him on the scene, it would be a better place, for sure..Big hug for you my friend!!

(Chaotic)Geo – programmer/designer/owner/Admin of the wifipredators, I've met this
guy on GBAtemp, and he's been a big help in the time Sakura was released, while we
(Densetsu3000, NeoGunKuruma, iamnobody and me) were translating it, he kept
English Hack Sakura bundle updated every few hours, so we had organized files all
in one place..He also checked Sakuratronic, giving me some advices on how to
improve it, make the whole expiriance better..I have nothing but the nice words for
this guy

Last but not the least, the whole bunch of GBAtempers, great community (or I could
even say, family) with the people I've learned from, talked, played or just spent
quality time hanging online..I'd mention some, but I don't want to forget anybody, so
I'll just go with the GBAtemp crew!!

I hope you read all the way trough, now go setup Sakuratronic and enjoy..
You can reach me at [email protected] or find me at GBAtemp and
wifipredators, username is Toni Plutonij..Fell free to give some constructive
comments or critiqe..
 
Thanx very much....Believe me when I say, LOTS of effort and time went into that..

(wait till you find out all the small effects, and stuff, like when you hold stylus on the "last used" games..or when you load picture, and set it as background, there is a very neat animation in the bottom)
 
Looks great though I'm not really into the whole feel and theme of it. I prefer simple skins, bu I'll give this a try.

Well, check the Read Me included (or read the first post).......The point is, that I've made this skin initially, for personal usage, but decided to share it with everyone who wants to use it..The only thing connection those two skins is same theme and one picture (that's modified by the way)....everything else is customized and different!!
 
Not really my taste... but, this is just amazing!

You can easily tell that very part was designed seperately and carefully.
 
Thanks strata8, I know it's not your style (I've used some of your skins, so it's clearly what do you like), but as you said, there is lots of work put into it, and it shows..
I've mentioned it before, but whoever keeps the skin for some time, will see all the small details I've made..
I haven't left anything unmodified in this skin..
 
Hey Toni, sorry I took so long to update the FAQ with this skin--I haven't been able to log on for a few days because I've been so busy.

Thanks for letting me test out your skin during the development stages. Dude, you just set a new standard for skinning!

No problem my friend..I know what are you doing, and what's taking your time....I'm sorry it took me so long to finish this skin....
I haven't seen you online for such long time.....I miss you.....

I'm actually thanking you for testing skin, it wouldn't be as half as good if there wasn't for you and your advices!! Tanks for that, and THANKS for everything!!

Good to hear you, and see you're actually alive..

I'm glad you enjoy it even though you aren't into this stuff so hard as I am!!

I guess skin is made good enough so people could enjoy it because it's different and kinda special because of the details!!

QUOTEGreat job Toni!

=)
Well, when the official team member likes your work..that must mean it's worth something!!

Yeah, thanks very much!! I worked hard, so it's nice when the work is recognized!!
