hey CannonFoddr can you made one for colors that match those from _Chaz_, with black background instead of white

IIRC - the 'ColorsDS' plugin was one of the earlier plugins where I 'borrowed' the middle icon from Vatoloco Icon pack & that came with a white background.... but I see what I can do

BTW do you want everything that is white as black ?? - including the white bits around the triangle in the middle - or would you prefer that stays white ??

This is only a quick mockup of the 2 - but which do you prefer ??

RETRO_GAMER · Aug 27, 2010

^^^^^^ I prefer the one with everything black

CannonFoddr · Aug 27, 2010

As granted - an all black background 'colors' plugin - note that it's not an exact copy since it was a lot easier to just 'invert' the middle bit than try & 'blacken out' the edges of it

Colors v1.2 (Apps) : Plugin / Program

And while I'm at it - here's an alternative 'iReader' plugin

Yet another plugin - this time for 'savbackup' utility (In development so bugs exist - use @ your own risk)
Read about how it came about here. The actual program is avalible from within Xenon++ 'mshl2tools' package (inside the 'savbackup' folder)

Savbackup (Util): Plugin [DSL/DSi]

EDIT: new Updated SavBackup version in 'mshl2tools' (0.51b.100825) now allows you to have the ini in the same directory as the nds, instead of the root.

I've updated the plugin (v1.1) to include the same savbackup.ini as supplied in the mshl2tool download

I think bugs are gone unless you don't use multibyte name for saves?

Crap, stop being so dedicated

Jk

Also thanks for waiting the first post should be updated by this afternoon

.psyched · Aug 28, 2010

CannonFoddr, I was wondering if you could make a DS_Game Icon with the Art Academy icon in its place? It'd be great. Because, honestly, I really don't know how to do it. An alternative GBA Icon with Samus from Metroid in it would be great too =3 I'd really be grateful.
And, since It seems I haven't already said Thank You, for telling me where was the original ds_game icon, thanks a lot =D

CannonFoddr · Aug 28, 2010

Ooopps sorry..... Anyway welcome back from your break alidsl.. Hope you're well rested 'cos there's a lot of updating to do
I know this is a little late, I've only just got back & saw your post, so you may've already started to first post update

Just to try & make it up for you - i have been keeping track & here's a Summary of what's been added since you've been gone (post #339) - saves you having to go through all the posts

@ .psyched: I didn't want to make full icon plugins for your 'special request', but here's some icons I've made up for you to choose from,
However you need to do a little bit of work for yourself (don't worry I'll give instructions)

Here's the pictures
<img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/ArtAcademy1.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/ArtAcademy2.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/Samus1.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/Samus2.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/Samus3.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://pix.gbatemp.net/49779/Samus4.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Now the instructions

<ul><li> Right click on your chosen graphics & select 'save image as..' (or it might be 'save picture as...' depending on browser)</li><li> Once saved to your PC - Open it up using whatever image editor you have (MS Paint will work)</li><li> Use 'File' > 'Save As' & save the picture as a 24-bit bmp file</li><li> Download Spinals '<a href="http://filetrip.net/f11539-DSTwo-Icon-Saver-1-0.html" target="_blank">DS icon Saver</a>' and Extract all the files</li><li> Click-&-Drag the newly saved bmp file onto 'save_16bit_bmp.exe' - this will run,convert the bmp & then ask you to press 'any key' at the end</li><li> You should now have a 'xxxx.bmp.bak' and a 'xxxx.bmp' file (the 'bmp.bak' is your original 24bit saved bmp, the 'bmp' is a new 16Bit bmp file compatible for the DS2)</li><li> Copy the bmp file (not the bmp.bak) into the '/_dstwoplug/' folder</li><li> RENAME the exiting bmp you are going to replace (e.g. 'dstwo_game.bmp') to something else - I usually just stick a ~ at the start (e.g. '~dstwo_game.bmp') - just in case you want to go back to it</li><li> Rename the copied over bmp to the name of the graphic you are replacing (so you would rename it to 'dstwo_game.bmp')</li></ul>
If everything went according to plan - you should now have a new graphic for the file you wanted it for

Thank you so much for this. Exactly what I need, and they're well-made! 8D
Thanks for the instructions too, already got them all on my card =3

hey guys thanks 4 all the plugins, i made a youtube video about my DSIXL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqnPb9mKBQ

alidsl · Aug 28, 2010

wow, short list

thanks, I had to go buy some light bulbs and kept getting the wrong ones

I'm back now though, updating may take a while

alidsl · Aug 28, 2010

Ok I've got dinner now I'll attempt at doing the rest tomorrow but don't expect it soon

riverchen · Aug 29, 2010

Yay! Now i can finally find some good stuff.

VatoLoco · Aug 29, 2010

damn nice job at keeping up with requests, Cannonfoddr =D
youve put in some serious icon work (and alidsl, youve got a lil catching up to do, lol),
maybe its time to compile the full CannonPack, eh?

i love how many new homebrews ive found out about at this thread from ppls requests and plug-in submissions =)

CannonFoddr · Aug 29, 2010

actually, I was thinking of either using some of my isp webspace (haven't used that for a while) or even start a wiki page up, laid out similar to how i present it here (picture/name/plugin link/program link/problem (if any) )

What do you all think ? Isp or wiki ?

If wiki - That way anyone with wiki access can add plugin and give OP a break

Oh before I forget. If we do wiki, how should layout be

One long list Alphabetically with apps & games mixed together or sectioned like first post with apps and games in own sections (& if sectioned would you prefer the sections as seperate wiki pages)

riverchen · Aug 30, 2010

Wiki, with apps/emus/games on different pages, sorted alphabetically.

VatoLoco · Aug 30, 2010

riverchen said:
Wiki, with apps/emus/games on different pages, sorted alphabetically.

+1, sounds like a logical setup (maybe all categories on one page for easy viewing, though)

alidsl · Aug 30, 2010

Awe, internets down posting on my iPhone
Nearly done though

CannonFoddr · Aug 30, 2010

Well I've placed a set of Wiki pages up @ http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/DSTwo_Plugin (_Emulators/_Utilities/_Multimedia and _Games) ready to get started on,

I was thinking of a layout something like this but with 4-5 column; 'Icon Graphic', 'Name', 'Plugin Link', 'Program link', 'Problems (if Any)', but currently having trouble understanding how to 'link' other seperate pages to that page (as well as how to make templates) in the same way as the GBA page I've mentioned

I can make tables on the page fine, I just can't seem to get my head around 'Templates' & 'Transclusion and Substitution' (how to make them etc) - & I can't seem to be allowed to 'link to external graphics for use as a thumbnail' (guess I'll have to upload all the icongraphics onto the Wiki board before I can use them)

Still it's a start

jakeyjake · Aug 30, 2010

How about links to threads about the program, if there is one? Because some of them are really hard to figure out how to use.

like pokesav ds.
