Creating a Splash Screen
  1. Images should be 400x240 for the top screen or 320x240 for the bottom. There's a ~50px gap between the top and bottom screens.
  2. Convert images using this site
  3. Check "rotate 90°"
  4. Do not check "preserve transparency"
  5. Download the .bin file
  6. Rename the .bin file to "splash.bin" for top or "splashbottom.bin" for bottom
  7. Use 7zip or WinRar to compress the .bin file into a .zip archive
  8. Post a preview of the image and attach the .zip file to your post (.zip is preferred, but .rar works too)
*If experiencing a distorted splash screen, open your original image in an editor and re-export it as a .png (or .jpg) file
Don't forget to attach corresponding splash.bin in .zip format
*You can convert .bin files to .png using this

Be sure to post a preview of your image:

and how does it work? If you don't mind me asking, I don't have a N3DS nor use reinand but I can surely make some splash screens for the sake of it =)

You create an image that's 400x240, save it as a PNG (or JPG/BMP I guess) and then use that site to convert it into a .bin file. Make sure "Rotate 90 degrees" is checked, and check the transparency box if you're using a PNG with transparency. Either way though, the rotation is mandatory. Then zip it up and attach it here.

Have a 800x240 image and use the website to convert it to a bin and call it splash.bin

It has to be 400x240, because Reinand doesn't use 3D for the splash screen.

Post your custom splash screens below, preferably using this format to keep things organized:

Don't forget to attach corresponding splash.bin in .zip format


Also, this is my first thread so if I do anything wrong on gbatemp, just tell me.
Oh man I love that 3Dshack design. I'll be looking into making one that matches my menuhax splash screen soon :)

Can anyone accept request? I sucks at designing so can't do it myself.

Would like a simple splash screen with ReiNAND CFW and by Reisyukaku text. Something like this https://gbatemp.net/threads/menuhax-2-0-custom-main-screen-images.401528/page-19#post-5981426
Maybe PM @Louch 雪 Daishiteru? He's the one who made the original image, and who knows, maybe he's willing to help out?

I accept the request, i can easily modify the menuhax splash screen and add the L and R labels if you want.

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
