i used an autorun.inf file for one of my blank discs. it's set up to show a custom icon and long name. the name worked, but however, instead of the icon it was meant to show, it showed this white page-like icon. what did i do wrong??

What software did you use to create the icons, and if so, what was the format/file type originally?
Here's an example of what your "AUTORUN.INF" file should look like:
Code:
[autorun]
open=file.exe
icon=file.icoReplace 'file.exe' and 'file.ico' with your filenames.

autorun.inf file also can have:

i made it with paint 3d, then converted it to .ico with ms paint, i lowered the resolution, but it still didn't work. my CAT_VIDS_ 4_U DVD is like this:
[autorun]
icon=catlogo.ico
label=CAT_VIDS_4_U
but it didn't show the icon.

Instead, download IconLover which is what I use for creating icons. http://www.aha-soft.com/iconlover/
MS paint can not save as ICO file, you need a real editor, like Paint.NET or GIMP.

Only on Windows 11 and not for the Disc one.wait, what size?and is it the same size as the .icos?
turns out i have made a liar out of myself and i in fact, used a .ico filewait, what size?
my .ico file is no larger than 512x512, if you have it over that then it might not load, i think
but how do i save it in GIMP

mine was 30 something x 30 something.
briefly googling it, it seems like windows 7+ doesn't like icon files lower res than 64x64, so experiment with 32x32 and 64x64
looking at the icon files for some of my old physical PC games, they all seem to load fine at 32x32

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
