(leave BNTX open)

IMPORTANT : Do not change the picture size and just use the color white to create your own icon!!!

7.png

10.png


- go back to BNTK Injector and replace the original icon with yours

11.png


- uncheck "Use SRBG when possible" and press "OK"

12.png


Fist step done!
Now you have to fix the color levels!

- install HxD and open it

- click on "Analyzis" -> "File Compare" -> "Compare"

13.png


- (1) browse for "Source file" the copied original file from the root "\Toolpackage" directory "__Combined.bntx"

(2) and for "Target file", the "__Combined.bntx" with you custom Icon from the "Tool Package \ ResidentMenu \ timg"

(3) press "OK"

14.png


Note:

HEX_CODE Channels:
Zero = 00
One = 01
Red = 02
Green = 03
Blue = 04

original channels for Album-Icon: 01 01 01 02 (HEX)

18.png


custom Icon channels in my case: 02 02 02 01 (HEX)

19.png


- now you need to find the four modified color channels to repair them

to find the differences, press "F6" to see the next difference, again "F6"

17.png


you need to find the place where the value of your channels are displayed next to each other, above those of the original channels and below those of the custom icon

16.png


- if you find them, overwrite the values with the originals

20.png


21.png


- then make sure that the custom icon "__Combined.bntx" window is selected and click "File" -> "Save as" and save it to your desktop

22.png


- copy the "__Combined.bntx" from the desktop to "Toolpackage/ResidentMenu/timg" and ovewrite the old one

23.png
- open the "Toolpackage" folder and drag & drop the "ResidentMenu" folder over "createSZS.bat" its compress the "ResidentMenu.szs" and overwrite the old one

24.png


- create on your Switch-SD-Card the following folder path: atmosphere\titles\0100000000001000\romfs\lyt
And copy the "ResidentMenu.szs" file into \lyt

25.png


You also have to create an empty file called fsmitm.flag into following folder path: "atmosphere\titles\0100000000001000"

26.png

And last but not least, start your Switch with newest Layeredfs.

Done!

  • 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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • 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
     +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
