Hi All,

I have all my games in banners as they are quicker to load that way. The only games I don't currently have are the Metroid games. So I wanted to make the Metroid Prime Trilogy have custom banners for each of the three games. I understand that the best we can get is the alt-dol method, which is fine with me. This is what I was thinking:

1- Have 3 copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy on my HD (It's big enough, so it can house all three)
2- Use the Banners from the Japanese Games for the US releases
3- Rename the TitleIDs so that they all point to the correct game when launching

So I need to know a couple of things

1- What program can I use to rename TitleIDs?
2- What program can I use to create custom banners and have them be linked to a loader?
3- Will this even work, what should I look out for?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and didn't see anything like this asked.

1- You dont need 3 copies of metroid prime trilogy on your HD, you can have the channel use a diff alt dol for each channel instead
2- See above
3- See Below

1- Wadder does this for you pretty easily
2- Either use Crap, or Loadstructer (Ive used Loadstructer before but not Crap so i reccomend it solely on that, maybe crap is better idk) both will get the job done
3- Yes it will work, if only could get the japanese banners ^^

I'd be willing to do it if i could find the japanese banners, let me know plz

    So true

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
