Hacking R4 DS skins

[skfields01]

mstaspawkl,

The bottom one was ambitous21, but the top one was all me.

mflo,
Thanks for the white DS. Been looking for one.

Or are you being sarcastic? lol

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

EDIT: used mflo's white DS skin previewer thing

looks nice. can you upload it to this site for us?

...I guess HMS looks a little cute...

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.

Hear hear. I quite agree. "Mavis rul3z" as the young people say.

and thanks for the skins download link. I knew that there was a list files url for mavis's site somewhere.

HMS doesn't look that good, I liked the snes version better.
Btw, Look up the new HM game thats coming up for the DS, It isn't called Harvest Moon, But It has the same gameplay, except with some extra stuff. Like monster battles, LoL. No really, It has monster battles. It's like a Fantasy RPG+Harvest moon LoL. I forgot what it was called >.>

Edit: When I said monster battles, I meant the character fights the monsters, not monster vs. monster.

SNES and PSX versions ftw.

Oh... I am so not hip with the lingo.

I am reading up on this, so....in this case is "ftw" being used sincerly or sarcastically?

First like to say excellent job on all the skins. But remember the R4 & Simply are the
same thing & use the same skins. I don’t get why some do such a nice job with the
icon screen then just slap a ugly R4 on the top screen. People with the simply will
obviously not use the R4 screen, although with one drop of solder there the same thing.
I think all these wonderful skins are one of the main reasons the R4/ Simply are soled
out all over. Not to mention the excellent Rom compatibility. I would just like to
encourage people to try & be a bit more inventive on the top screen. I’ll see how
inventive I can be when I get my R4/ Simply.

 

[SynGamer]

There's a difference between being inventive/creative and just cluttering the screen

I have been super impressed with the creativity here. The Nippon skin / simple blue grid / Metroid skins delight me to no end.

I say, this forum FT win! (That's right, that's how I spell my internet slang.)

SynGamer,

Can you post just the backgrounds you used for you simple stranger icons.bmp and logo.bmp? Just wanted them for my own use. Wanted to use my own set of icons and lettering.

oh man the R4 fucking owns, mine arrived today and now I find how easy it is to make a skin!

so I made a quick one out of my wall paper:

simplistic and god damn sexy

 

[sickofyou]

I don't want this thread to die, so I'll post up a preview of my Okami skin.

and for the games menu:

comments?

this is so cool. can i download it?

 

[kiruyama]

crap, just realized I forgot to release that. I'll have to mess with the buttons and make them the right size, but it should be up for download by Sunday at the latest.

 

[sickofyou]

wow that's good news! will you make more skins in the near future?


anyone seen a "legend of zelda" minish cap-like skins? or metal gear solid.

 

[.TakaM]

I think I'll make a skin imitating the PSP menu and the DS menu later
