Anyone know where I can find an icon for PC Engine, Gameboy (Mono), and Sega Game Gear?

If anyone wants to fix the .3dsx version to work with the latest firm, just do the following simple changes:

Hex edit the 3dsx file - 0x407F0: 75 -> 61

And change the .xml file to the following:
<targets selectable="false">
<title mediatype="0">0004001000021000</title>
<title mediatype="0">0004001000022000</title>
<title mediatype="0">0004001000020000</title>
<title mediatype="0">0004001000027000</title>
<title mediatype="0">0004001000026000</title>
<title mediatype="0">0004001000028000</title>
</targets>

A summery of what's happening here. This is changing the requested service from act:u to act:a which also has support for ACTU_GetAccountDataBlock, which is needed by this program. Act:a is conveniently included in System Settings and that is the app called in the above XML in various regions. This gets GYTB past the hurdle of taking over Badge Arcade or needing cfw to get the necessary service permissions. Hope this helps some of you elf monsters out. :)

edit: i guess i have some sympathy for the non-dyi crowd. attached.

hey mr cheeze i received an error 78 while adding badges. is it because there are files that are too big? there was messy jargon and stuff on the bottom screen and couldnt read the files
 
Hi, I was wondering if I could get help. I've tried running it but I just get an error message. If it helps, I'm on a n3ds xl running a9lh on 11.2. I also have Nintendo Badge Arcade, which I re-downloaded as well as some badges from it.

EDIT: I tried running it from HB and it worked. Weird how it won't work as a CIA but oh well I guess.

Hello, I am having the same problem, i tried running it in homebrew but it says: "Badge file in use, try loading all badges in your badge case and waiting before launching." but there are no badges in use, i can't figure how to get this working, if anyone does any help is apreciated.

It says "badge file" in use, not "badge". I had the same problem just a while ago. Go back to your home menu and browse through all the badges you've acquired so far. In other words, wait until all of them are loaded, just like the error message says.
 
Do the files need to have the same height and length? some of my custom badges wont work until I edit them to have the same measurements.
Also, running the cia to install new badges messes up the custom badges until you remove them all and place them again.
I have CFW

edit: it looks like the measurements need to be 64xn, they dont need to be the same(a square). Kind of obvious looking back on it :P. Badges still get scrambled and mixed when adding new ones tho

Is there any way to remove official Nintendo badges (from Badge Arcade) from my badge menu? I only want to see my custom badges.
 
What tool can I use?
Well, at the moment, I honestly don't think there exists a tool that does that. I have been working on a tool called "Advanced Badge Editor" which allows anyone to make their own badges and sets very easily, however, when it comes to deleting every badge or specific badges, I still need to add that feature. Sorry

EDIT: My tool now lets anyone delete badges! You can use that instead. You can find a link to it on my signature if you read carefully :P

Is there a guide to this? Yeah, really simple, but I'm really, REALLY dumb on this. Do we place it in the root of the SD or the "3ds" folder. (Legit question lol)


Edit: Oh, my computer can't handle it. :^(
