ROM Hack [Tutorial] Edit the HomeMenu

[Zan']

Guys I think (?) I found a site to share these http://www.homemenu.co/

Well. We can't upload. Therefore we can't share. The guy who made the site uploaded his.
Which he was probably able to do due to some people's generous contributions of Colors and info.

And instead of using a mobile cam, it's better to actually screenshot for previews

The edit he made is onyl color

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-edit-the-homemenu.424449/page-9#post-6300162 by @TheDeKay is a really easy to understand post on that.
Decompress hud_lz.bin use a Hex editor with a replace function and simply replace the colors he provided with the ones you want.

If you want info on the colors, files etc. you should probably ask @Asia81 , @TheDeKay or @MasterLel .
The seem to have understood how it works.
If they provide info on the structures and so on someone may be able to write a tool similar to YATA+.
That would be awesome.

Hey, guys where is the HOME Menu .bcfnt main Font file, because the Hud Font files are missing letters, and I need those letters for my Translation.

By modify you mean you know it's possible? And you know because these strings are in the file?

The color things are a lot more interesting than some random string changes imo.

Start figuring what others have failed on. Change the color of the blue internet bar.
Maybe start working on positioning of things. (@MasterLel and @TheDeKay have posted screens of this)
Or just work on all the other coloring that is for a fact possible. And don't forget to not down the colors you changed so you can have a nice write up

Guys, what do your bat file do?
For see if I put it in the first post.

You should link this in the main post (OP). It also includes a fast LZ11 compression tool, which wasn't in there before and people got confused because of compression before.

I know it's possible since that i did it
