Gaming Injected virtual console wad save icon/banner keep unchanged?

[KitMikro]

Hi everyone,

Long time reader here, but never posted... until now. For the past week I started a mission to create my own VC Injected WAD, because I wanted to play Lost Vikings and not use an emulator. I used Super Metroid (USA) as a donor WAD.

I followed different tutorials but of course the one found on GBATEMP was the most successful (sorry I can't post a link) but the title is "How to create professional Virtual Console injects" by "CatmanFan"

Without a problem I created an injected wad for my favorite games Lost Vikings and Blackthorne.

They work on Dolphin surprisingly well everything seemed to have worked, but not the save game image. (see attached image)

VC Save inject successfully injected the new banner.tpl into 05 and the title into 01.

I then repack the 05_out map

and then repack the WAD

So what could have gone wrong?

They are indeed different images (you can have a save without the app installed, after all) coming from different sources (which I vaguely remember being in different content (.app) files)

Thanks for your reply,

Well for SNES games if I read everything correctly this save image is banner.tpl located in 05.app.

I created a new banner.tpl with the VCIcon application. and injected it with VCSaveInject.

Is there a way to convert/extract this banner.tpl back to images, so I can check if the banner.tpl is created correctly?
*edit* I found Image to TPL convert 0.4!

So I unpacked my injected WAD again -> extracted 05.app -> and opened banner.tpl with image to TPL converter. It shows as in the attached photo.

Now I'm just flabbergasted! why is it still showing the old banner?

I also just noticed that in the Dolphin game list there is also still the old banner... (see attached image)

You didn't repack the 5.app after editing the banner.tpl file. Try again

EDIT: I recommend using HowardC's U8 Tool v10.1 instead of old versions or another U8 tools like Gally's U8 extractor / U8 estructure copier xD

I'm having the same problems, if somebody could help out, that would be really great. I'm also using HowardC's Tools.
