Hacking Custom Theme for Wii (Help)

[Adr990]

Hey all,

I did made a nice Image (In my opinion) Click to see Image

I want to replace it in the TPL, but I bricked and unbricked before with this today:
I did replace it with the BG_16x9.tpl (Though the second layer or so, was 32x32 what is it?)

I have Installed Preloader 27 , Installed the 001.app (with rename to 045.app (PAL right?) ) (Cutted 0's indeed)
And didn't have access to System menu (black screen) nor Healthy screen...

Do I install it right? (I did mess with the whole 001.app, so prob I did something wrong)
But just, is it possible to change without brick.
Update:
I did it again, but really clear and safe...
Again, brick via softmii tweak and unbrick...
(Renamed 001.app to 045.app) What is wrong? 0_o

And much TPL's arn't able to read...
How to even skin them?

Thanks,
Greeting,

Bump Incl:
How do I convert ARC to ASH?

Or is it save to use the Health.ash.arc and delete the Health.ash ?

Bump...

I really need help...
I will keep trying my self... But if I try with the wrong editing and installing... it always will go wrong till I got some help.

Thanks in advance!

try reading this: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev...history_state0=


P.S. I'm also trying since yesterday. Tried about 15 times all bricks

Yeah, other peoples with the same problems!!!

I also would love to start at a custom Systemmenu...but as far as I got it, the Images are everywhere in the WAD, realy hard to find all...also tried that guide that computerboy (Yeah, Switzerland!!!

) linked...I should be happy that I fail at the opening of the 0000...01.app

...

Why don't the others that got this to work make a little tutorial, or better: post some Templates, that we can start with the Images? This would be nice

...since it will take a while for a tool or something...

I saw somewhere to change the systemmenu we need to use U8Tool.exe wich is in the Healthii installtion folder on C:\Healthii


P.S. It's because other extracters don't keep the directories. At some point you might think U8Tool is stuck it's normal cause mine took 5 mins to extract 045 app
