Long live the lucasarts CLASSIC adventures.
also might i add couldnt be better with ScummVM.
DS was made for them.

on the logo, maybe have ghost boxes coming off, like when the ds is turned on? (would probably look rubbish so ignore me!)

i created this with some help. credits are in it.
I keep seeing people doing this with there split screen skins. Don’t you see how weird the skin looks with out removing the center space? Look at the rail, & the length of her stomach. At least use Katalysts Screen Split template below to know how much of the center to remove. The mavisxp skin site is flooded with bad skins just split in half, with out proper spanning & buttons off center. It’s great that making skins are so easy & everyone can contribute, but at least use the templates so your work isn’t worthless.

yeah when i looked at it, it looked weird but what can i do? if i separate it, her boobs would get cut off. if you want, why not try fixing it yourself?

Indeed, I can't separate pictures effectively because they are not large enough vertically. My options would be enlarging the image and cropping horizontally (and possibly making the picture more pixelated) or adding more background myself to increase the vertical length, but then you get less of the object and more boring background, plus it's more work.

I understand your point, but the problem is that sometimes a cut image is not that good. I have no issues with the "extra work" to adapt the space (being a perfectionist, I spend very much time on every skin I make) but with the fact that the "covered" part could be an important one. My Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney skins don't have the covered part and the source images were meant to be "long" (they weren't made for the game, but for special collector cards) while Phoenix Wright Justice For All, "luckily", was made with images which were already split for the DS game and I agree they have a nicer effect.

Hey Khan !

Congratulations for your work, i love your DS skin, first time a skin really interests me ! Can you make it in different colors variations ? Darker ?
Thanks !

I have just finished on Black & Red skin which i shall preview in few mins.

-Edit

Any tips on how to make it into other colours as I use MSPaint ONLY hence i do not have any special effects in my skins.
