ROM Hack [Tutorial] Edit the HomeMenu

[tomx86]

I did it!
I translated to Polish, something else then HOME Menu (Game Notes):

But I still wanna to translate the names in banners, and 3D icons.
If someone know a program for editing banners in 2D and 3D, please give me a link.

No, just download, edit and install the home menu of your firmware.

So, if you are on 10.5, on must download homemenu for 10.5 ?

Yes, if no FBI will tell you that you have a wrong version.

Yes, but there were no home menu updates in 10.5 so you have to download the 10.4 home menu (24578 for USA, 23554 for EUR)

Some more changes to the System.

The Internet bar is either not colorable or it's just not where I was looking at. Or it's incredibly hard.

I'm trying to change colors. The thing is, when I decompress the file, what filr extension should I name the decompressed file? Do I just save as a .bin?

Doesn't matter since you're editing it manually on a hex editor. But the final compressed file must have the same name as the original file. Else it's 100% brick without a doubt.
But I guess you already know all that.

So I can just edit the LZ compressed file directly? Hmm, cool.

No. Decompress it first, then you can edit it. No need to extract files etc, it's just a waste of time and effort..

That's what I was asking. What do I save the decompressed file as? A .bin? A .msbt?

Is it legal to upload a modified HOME Menu CIA to GBAtemp? I want to make a thread for my translation.

I am simply decompressing them with the same name, edit them and recompress them.
Using the attached LZ(de)compressor and just using drag and drop on the batch files.
(The batch files are not meant to support multiple files)

Doesn't matter at all, the important thing is the content and the final name after you recompressed it.
If you want to edit hud_LZ.bin, you can decompress it and save it as "blablabla.ext" "qwerty.jpg" or even "sdfqdfsdf.mp3" , edit it at your convenience with a hex editor, compress it, and save it as hud_LZ.bin

file extensions doesn't matter when using hex editors.

 

[Halvorsen]

Hm. Will do. I was using 3DS Explorer to decompress and it will save as a blank and file-extensionless file if I don't input my own name.

I really wnt the same color.
What color code did you use?
And how did you changge the color of the button?
Can't find where the color is stored

 

[MasterLel]

I personally don't like the color at all (it reminds me Decrypt9UI) but I respect the work he did.

It's not related to having many icons, the performance of any modern home launcher sucks overall compared to the 8.1 and under ones

Man, I guess I'm just not seeing what makes the modern home menu suck. It's quick and customizable, I personally love it, don't have any complaints that I can think of.

Anyone?

 

[MasterLel]

Anyone?

I don't think it's allowed since the home menu cias are property of Nintendo
