Homebrew [Release] CHMM2 - Custom Home Menu Manager 2

[Sumea]

OK I got it working with the DSP thing needed.
One fatal flaw at least on emunand 9.5, N3DS, CIA version - won't install themes.
I install it - it is not there, reboot it is not there, go to theme menu, choose default theme, try again...
Unless the application tries to check stuff from NVER. But previous version (Kinda?) Worked so... what gives?

- Might be MenuHax Mode = ON thing.
How the heck can I tell this program that NO, themehax is not a thing. please?

Uninstall menuhax FROM THE EMUNAND NOT SYSNAND

CHMM2 works good again. I must've been using an earlier version (like 2.2). The theme music would suddenly stop after a while. Now the theme music plays infinitely, I LOVE this homebrew so much!

Looks like a timeout error by 3DSThem.es

Uninstall menuhax FROM THE EMUNAND NOT SYSNAND

sure, do tell me how I uninstall which has not been even installed.. I also do need my menuhax in my sysnand for my cold boot setup so for now I have to move to use alternatives out there for CFW users. Always liked CHMM2 though, especially since custom shuffle support.

 

[Ripper00420]

I can download themes, but it only shows 5-6 themes to download. Am I not setup correct? There are way more on the site than it shows in the app, so I was just curious.

 

[juniorcba]

Alright, developer does not seem to give a damn about my problem. No problem I installed some

I'm getting the same error. CHMM2.5 was working for me (with menuhax) earlier today. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CHMM2.5 and menuhax, but no luck.

Wouldn't be cool if anybody give a damn about our issue?

Hello, is chmm2 compatible with the lastest fw? (10.3.0.28) Everything goes well, but after i install theme all it does is set it to default. Anyone had this problem? Thanks

I uninstalled menuhax and deleted all custom themes from my 3DS. I launched CHMM and it started (no themes available). I added theme .zips to the Themes folder, started CHMM again, and it worked fine. I reinstalled menuhax, and used CHMM to re-add my custom theme.

How do I turn off menuhax mode. It wont let me turn on shuffle mode. When i install a theme it does not work.

Delete menuhax files through menuhax manager in emunand.

HOW TO CREATE A THEME

A theme is composed by several files:
body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Screenshot used by CHMM2 for preview system.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound, used by CHMM2 for preview system.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

- To create first three files i recommend to use YATA+ ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-yet-another-theme-application-plus-yata-3ds-theme-editor.393355/ )
- To create BGM.ogg file i recommend to use Audacity ( http://audacityteam.org )
- To create info.smdh file i recommend to use SMDH Creator ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-the-smdh-creator-make-your-own-icon-pack.396765/ )

FAQ

Q) I get "cannot initialize Sound module" error when using CIA/3DS version, how can i solve?
A) You need a DSP firmware (dspfirm.cdc) to use CHMM2 as CIA/3DS version. You can dump it using DSP Firmware Dumper, uncart, braindump or Decrypt9.

I am on sys 9.2.0-20u. I have deleted menuhax/shufflehax. when I install a theme set, it does not work. But when I install a single theme it works. Can you enlighten me as to why that happens? Thanks

You can't use shuffle feature with 9.2, it's only for 9.3 and higher,
so you will be able to use it only on emunand with higher firmware.
