For ams 1.1.1?

Yeah, I'm in the same situation, not sure how to compile or how to proceed now that I'm on Atmosphere 1.1.1. Would love some help, so that I can properly pimp out my Cotton 2 that has turning into Radiant Silvergun

Awesome, thank you so much. I'm relatively new here, but what a warm and helpful way to be greeted

Alright, I've been reading the Saturn emulation thread and this one carefully, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The Panzer Dragoon .ini and .jpg shared that work perfectly on my switch. However, when I try to replicate a new icon for two other stand-along Saturn emulation games, the .ini correctly changes the names, but the icon shows up as a question mark. I double-checked title IDs with Edizon, and confirmed that the images are 256x256 and less than 128k. At this point I have to wonder, is it something weird about the images themselves? Here's one I trimmed down in GIMP.

Make sure when exporting your jpg from GIMP that you have the "Progressive" checkbox under advanced options disabled.
Someone else had that enabled and it produced a question mark icon like you're describing.

Thanks so much, but somehow that version still didn't work. I gave up on GIMP entirely, did some quick and sloppy Paint work on Windows 10 and I'm all good now. Will definitely keep that in mind, though, if I build up the courage to get more sophisticated with something like GIMP.

How do you change icons for games that don't have title id folders? I want to change the icons for mad dead rat, moon, and some other games but I can't find the title id folder in the atmosphere/contents folder. I tried looking for a list of title ids to make a folder for them but I'm not even sure if that will work.

contents folder is empty by default, you have to know title id and create folder for each title you want to modify.
You can easily find ID of the game with nxdumptool. Or look it up on tinfoil.io (some games have multiple versions with different IDs).

@8BitWonder if you have the chance, can you update sys-tweak for ams 1.2.1 please ?

can someone make a sega genesis nintendo switch online vertical icon?

AMS-libs have several breaking changes in the jump to 1.2.1.
We'll need to wait on an official update from p-sam for this one.

Hope this gets fixed soon

For ams 1.2.x
@averne was nice enough to recompile sys-tweak locally to work on newest ams

Anyone else getting horrible battery drain after using the recompiled version for 1.2.x? Not sure if it's because of this or something else.

Works fine on my machine™
It just bump the version on libams, it doesn't touch any other code.
