Hi,

I want to make a custom theme, but i'm on mac. Is there anyway I can make one or get one made?

I have no access to windows or a virtual machine.

If you would be so kind as to make one for me, I can give you links to the images (already sized)

Thanks!

(I can use CHMM or homemenu ext data, doesn't matter. I'm using Ninjhax 2.0)

You could go ahead and post the top and bottom images if you have them, it's pretty easy, I could try for you (but I haven't messed with themes for a long time now so no promise I get it perfect).

thanks so much!

there's no bgm, and there's a white line across the right side on the top. Do you mind extending it a little bit? Thanks. The BGM thing isn't really a problem, but you can try to fix it if you want.

The white line issue is a common issue if your source image wasn't wide enough. I would fix it but I would have to stretch it, I guess.
Also, no sound....not sure why that happened. Maybe I messed that part up. Or you try this for me, try switching your theme to a basic color theme like blue and then install it again. See if that makes the sound work? Do you get any errors during the theme install and are you using extdata tool or CHMM?

Make sure you have enable bgm selected in the yata settings. Also I use 412px width on top screen backgrounds. Some swear by 400px, but I think there is a loss when using 3d.

Yep, that box is checked. I totally agree about 412px.

My method for converting the audio file may be incorrect, if you can find another way to have it converted, try that, FlipShake. I personally had trouble getting any sound on themes with ninjhax 2.0 until I used the basic blue theme, then custom audio started installing correctly.

    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.
