Hacking Icons for your MicroSD cards

[digipokemaster]

could someone make me on with a rainbow r4 cart design ??

For those perfectionists out there, I remade the acekard 2i because i didn't like the ones they had. So here it is, just click the picture and it will take you to the rapidshare file. Extract to root of your micro sd card.



I am expecting to make a case cover for this too. So keep an eye out for that

Excellent work!

Sorry to bump, but I'm having problems getting this working. First, I placed the icon and autorun in the root of my sd card, with the following settings:

[autorun]
icon=dsttw.ico
label=DSTT

As I read further into this thread, someone suggested restarting explorer, so I ejected the card, restarted explorer, and plugged it back in, but its still using the default icon. Reading further, I see someone suggest switching up the icon and the label like this:

[autorun]
label=DSTT
icon=dsttw.ico

so I tried that, then followed the same procedures as above, but still no luck. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? OS is Windows Seven x64.

^ not sure - but could it be that Win7 is not 'autorunning' the inf file ?? (for security reasons)

A quick search & I found this article about Win7 autorun feature.

In it - it says

AutoPlay will no longer support the AutoRun functionality for non-optical removable media. In other words, AutoPlay will still work for CD/DVDs but it will no longer work for USB drives.

I don't use Win7 so I don't know if this can be altered somehow

It's not an issue with Win 7 x64, it's what I use.

The Autorun you mention just prevents it from running an executable when a USB drive is inserted. That was stopped because of all the USB drives which were coming loaded with viruses.

Ah shit looks like Windows 7 users (and Xp users soon) are SOL with this trick. I looked around for a way to reenable it, but all I found was crap on the autoplay feature, not autorun.

TK, any idea why its not running my autorun at all if it just prevents exe`s from launching then?

Try extracting one of the icons archives to the root directory of one of your HardDisks and reboot, you'll know if the icon works or not.

Even with the autorun limitation, the icons still work. For example on W7 I get this when I insert a MicroSD card

Check the icon and autorun.inf are in the root directory of your MicroSD card. Check the icon is readable, double click on the icon and you should get the image browser pop up which will allow you to view the images in the icon (7 on my icons).

 

[0ddity]

I'm at a loss. Doing in in C:\ didn't work, but the icon is readable, I could view it and open it in an image editing program. I'm sure the autorun.inf and dsttw.ico are in the root of my flash drive. I'll give it a try with a different one of your icons.

Tried it with another icon and autorun, still doesn't work. Here's a screenshot of my SD root:

 

[tk_saturn]

The icon you currently have isn't the default icon for a MicroSD card under Windows 7. So I imagine that the drivers for the card reader have installed something which overrides the icon used, including any specified in autorun.inf

I have the same problem. I have Windows7 32 bit and I can't get this to work. When I had Vista it worked no problem :S

I don't know what the problem was, but after I reinstalled Windows because of another issue, it started working.
