Egonny: The DS's screens are 256x192, I'd hope (and assume) that the skin engine would refuse different size images. (I doubt it would resize them for you any way)

Offtop (sorry): That pop up is from Cema's avatar.

The popup thing isn't happening when I click "add reply". It means that it's not a post on this page, it's somebody's signature/avatar.

edit: Beaten to it...

Wow, the competition looks tough.

Anyway - here's my attempt (v 1.00, may be updated if there are problems)

Don't have the hardware, so no idea if it works.

Download it!

[EDIT] Hmmm, lets put that picture somewhere else (doesn't like displaying from my web hosting)

  • Entry previews should be in standard web graphic form (JPG, GIF, PNG etc.). No Flash/Shockwave please.

So we can submit the skins in a PNG format?

If so will you guys be judging them on a computer or are you going to be converting them to bitmaps and then judging them on a DS?

No, the entry needs to be a proper skin, a bunch of BMP files, preferably zip'd together for distribution. The PREVIEW needs to be in standard web graphic form.

My mistake there...

As they're going to be BMP files will the judges mark them as 24bit or will they convert them to 16 bit which is what they look like on the DS?

Here's a very good example

24bit BMP

16bit BMP
