Hacking R4 DS skins

[mr_blonde_88]

A skin I put together. The picture I used was created by Ketchup-Suicide from DeviantArt. His picture is titled "A few more hearts"I didn't add anything to the backgrounds because I felt that they shouldn't be changed.(Gotta give proper creditÂ

)
The text on bckgrd_1 might not show up very well. Lets email R4 about giving us an option to change the text from black to white on the game selection screen. I WANT MY DSL AND R4 ALREADY! I WANT IT NAO~!

looks like the person who did The Used artwork for IN LOVE & DEATH

Could you put a few skins in folders on your card and swap them on the go with the DS Organise file browser? Or does the R4 lock system files or keep the skin files in use while it's on rather than loading them into the memory?

Of course the easy way for me to get an answer would be to try it myself

Works fine, copy the file one by one and paste them over the ones in the _system_ folder and they will get replaced.

When you select Game, there is an automatic fade to the new background. It works so well with this skin.

Why is everyone still using imageshack and Megauploads? I actually PAID to have my upload script written, so that you guys wouldn't have to use those crap services ... 800GB/month of bandwidth, 40GB of diskspace, less than 10 hours of downtime in the past three or four years (with files that have been freely available for download that WHOLE time), and you guys are still posting your skins to Meguploads?

Too funny.

Updated my post, skin is now on your site

mavis is a great guy who hosts a web server for all skinners to upload their skins, so that we can have all our skins in one place that's fast and reliable. he made a thread about it on this forum that's like 2 pages long, so alot of skinners didn't notice it.

to upload your skins (really fast and easy) on mavi's server:
http://www.mavisxp.com/r4

and to view all skins on his server now:
http://www.mavisxp.com/r4/skins/

you guys should really use this, alot of people (including me) are having alot of trouble getting skins off shitty hosts like megaupload.

Any chance of making the preview files and the actual *.zip or *.rar files the same name?
Makes it easyer and less confussing

It's up to the people uploading to name their files - I would re-write that part of the script myself, but I don't know how ...

no one made a harvest moon skin yet, so i thought i would make one.. its kinda amateurish.. but harvest moon is undoubtedly the cutest DS game ever made. so thatll make up for it.. sorry if you dont mind, but i used skfields01 background, which he got from ambitous21. so props to them, and if you guys dont like me using it ill take it down. i thought the grass would be appropriate for harvest moon. my r4 is coming on the 15th, so i havent tested this. so if somethings wrong, like its too dark and you cant see the fonts or misalignments, let me know and ill fix it

download it here: http://www.mavisxp.com/r4/skins/1168657433_Harvest_Moon.zip


EDIT: used mflo's white DS skin previewer thing
