I'm running into an issue trying to edit LaiNes, I wanted to add an Image to clean up my Homebrew Menu, but whenever I load LaiNes into the Asset editor it seems to screw up the UI, anyway around this?

Yeah that's doing my head in too. It must be a non-standard format or something.

Here's a fix for this. Right now it's just cropping and forcing it to 256x256 icons since that's what hbmenu recommends. An NRO could have larger dimensions than that however, so ideally being able to choose the size is probably best in the future.

Some NROs won't allow editing; for example, the Genesis Plus GX LibNX RetroArch core, or the latest Beetle-PSX core. This happens even when I use the 256-forced-version.
This is what I get from the console:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 1699, in __call__
File "maker.py", line 218, in browse
File "site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 2585, in open
OSError: cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object at 0x028F3750>

For anyone interested, here is my piggy-backed fork of this OCD soothing tool <3

I made this because I have issues, and sometimes I reaaaaaaaaaaally dislike clutter. It's totally useless and a waste of time, because a tool should ideally save you some time. This just creates more work, even if it optimises that work.

Anyway. I wanted to change version numbering in some OVL files as well, because I like my Tesla Overlay Menu clean and tidy: https://github.com/HenryBaby/nro-ovl-asset-editor

Looks good to me! I also like that you used QT instead of tkinter because if one UI doesn't work on an OS, then users can try the other one.

Also totally agree, organization is so important for this kind of stuff! Even if it's technically more work, at least it's also self-satisfying.

That last part is sooo true!

Also, I'm fairly new to all of this. I hope I was clear with where all the credit goes and all that jazz. Please let me know if I should clarify stuff in any way on the Github page and I'll make the changes. Much love!

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
