Hey guys I've installed everything and I cant for the life of me figure this thing out.


All I want to do is change the name that is displayed on the Gateway Menu.

For example I converted the Pokemon Crystal GBC vc into a Metal Gear Solid GBC and on the menu it still says Pokemon Crystal. I look invane but everyone goes into detail about the banners and logos but nothing about changing this small text.

Please can anyone let me know what to do or point me in the right direction, thanks.

well thats all you need to do, make sure you edit the title before running the final build script, every time you load a game it logs the icon and title, so if you forget to change the first time you will need to rebuild it again with another uniqueID

im using the BOBMCJR VERSION method

I have one folder on my desktop called Bob version with
createrom.bat
ctrtool.exe
gw.rsf
makerom.exe
prepare.bat
pokemon crystal.3ds

I modify the unique id in gw.rsf using a .txt and then save

in the second folder on my desktop called 3ds banner with
_buildscript.py
AppData.txt
_build_ICNandBNR.bat
and some folders

I change the titles in appdata.txt and open_buildscript.py and save

Then I go to the first folder and drag pokemon crystal.3ds to prepare.bat
and drag the new rom to createrom.bat

It's so easy to make a custom banner :

I you already edited "AppData.txt" before running "_buildscript.py" and "gw.rsf" before running "createrom.bat" I cannot see what went wrong. :s

yes, now if I want to add my own pics to them do I have to do anything special? I tried and the image looks like snow on a tv.

- Use an image editor like Gimp.
- Open your picture in
- Trim it to get a picture with the right dimension (24x24, 48x48 and 256x128)
- Export it as PNG with the right name (icon.png and 256x128.png)
- Run the scripts (icon.py and banner.py)
- When you had finish with the three pictures, run _buildscript.py and you got banner.bnr and icon.icn

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
