Well, since requested, I'm releasing my Okami skin. Changed a bit, but nothing major.



Humm. might make an MGS skin soon, sounds like a cool idea.

Oh, and BTW ...

I made that preview DS I showed in the last post with perfectly sized 256x192 displays. I have made a template you guys can use, here:

skin_preview_white.jpg


The screens are pink so that you can very easily see where to align your own images, each pink area is exactly 256x192. I got this image online, it was a high resolution publicity release from Nintendo that I Photoshop'd (removed the stylus from the picture) and resized so that we could use it with our previews ...

Enjoy!

Thanks for the white template mavis, I was starting to get frustrated with some of my WIP skins since the downsizing I needed to do with the black template reduced their quality.

It looks strange on the white ds lite but I didn't want to scale down to fit the onyx template.
If someone (ie. Mavis) could make a full version (so the skin will fit without re-scaling the ds lite template
of onyx that would be nice).

stupid question... =(
will there ever be an r4/m3 skin wiki? or easily revised central repository of skins?

I'm working on it now, I've hired the same coder who did the upload script to make another one to allow easy browsing/downloading of all the skins, and I will be unveiling the final product within the next few days!! I will also be linking to the R4DS official firmware/files mirror (they have limited FTP access to my site, so they upload their stuff directly, using my site as a mirror) ... Also gonna put up the handful of templates you need to make killer skins ... It will all be open for viewing soon!

So, stay tuned!

  • 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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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
    for people with beefy hands.
