I don't understand why Nintendo has to compress Home Menu screen grabs so badly.

that theme looks like an autistic child made it.
 
I am struggling to get this working, but if someone could make a tutorial now that Yellow8's tool is out, that would be amazing!

1. Boot Emu and select theme you want to edit
2. Dump BodyCache
2. Edit images in cache (either with noob tools or decompress with LZ11 and look for pointers in header and get image offsets with that (images are RGB565))
3. Delete ThemeManage file off SD
4. Boot Emunand and same theme again if its not already
5. Inject BodyCache
6. Reboot
 
" But you know how i can make a "loop" in my sound ? "


I assume you're using Every File Explorer to make the audio, in which case you cannot add loops yet.

Updated my previous post with a download link to that RR theme. No music because the one I'm using is ripped directly from a game.
 
Yes.

I cut my audio file with Adobe Audition > Conver to wav with foobar2000 > Convert to bcstm with Every File Explorer

I think, if it's video game related, you can make a brstm and upload it to brawlcustommusic, it will generate the bcstm, which will be exactly the same filesize as the brstm. As well, doing it this way also reduces the filesize since EFE doesn't compress the wav at all.

I haven't tested this yet, but I think it should work.
 
"It can hang if it stays in folders with spaces in their name, so be sure to not have spaces in the tool's path."

Anyone know what that means? I cant get this tool to work. As soon as I try to open a body_LZ.bin, a command prompt comes of or a fraction of a second, then the application says that its not responding so it has to be closed.

I extracted the folder to my desktop and tried running the tool from there (just clicked the tool and nothing else in the folder), and then i tried to run the program from my desktop after moving the folder's contents onto my desktop. nothings working.

Alright, I did this, and edited the BodyCache.bin by renaming it to body_LZ.bin and modifying it with Every File Explorer (changed the images). I saved, and changed it back to BodyCache.bin, and deleted the ThemeManage. I then copied the caches from sd to extdata using the CIA version of the tool, and rebooted. After running GW (to get back into the system menu with themes) The theme was blank. After selecting Sonic Boom (the theme I modified?) It loaded the Sonic Boom Theme normally.

Did I do something wrong?

what tool (by yellow8)?
It uses NinjHAX to change themes to custom ones, found on the page before this one.

I got it to work and was able to get a decent picture on the top screen, with a smaller white area on the right side. However, now the white part has gotten much bigger and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? I've tried redoing it over and over, but can't figure out why it's doing that.

If any one can help me get rid of the white area completely I'll be even more grateful, but will be happy with just a smaller one.

did you boot the theme before injecting? .. the idea is that booting a theme creates cache, and you're editing that cache and replacing it, so make sure you have the cache there before injecting. Otherwise im not sure.. i use my other tool to edit themes lol.

yea, what i did was just copy the data out and attach a bclim header and edit the bclim lol.. then re-write data..

I want to include my own sound to a Luigi's Mansion theme I've just made. Any help?

1. Does it have to have a specific amount of seconds?
2. I just have to include it with the .bin of the Theme and copy it with Y8's tool?
3. BTW, do you know of any theme with green colors on the buttons on the corner of the upper screen and "Open" and "Manual"?
4. May I install that theme (with the green colors) and then extract the .bin and include the modified one?

Thanks and Happy New Year:nds:
