Hacking Tutorial: How to create Acekard/AKAIO skins

[Nenaj1]

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to update for people since many links for skins are dead on the web. I actually found an easier way to make skins.



I have an ace3ds plus and acekard skins are compatible so I am able to use them.


I used only the acekard skin editor and windows paint program.


My daughter wanted a monster high theme so I went to google images and searched for monster high pics.

I pressed print screen on the image results on google.

I did not click on the picture because I knew it would redirect me to a website and the picture would be huge.





I found a lower screen and upper screen pic I wanted.






I then pasted the screen shot on to windows paint and cropped it. Then resized from there. When you resize....the bottom of the paint program tells you the measurements. 256width x 192height.



I saved it as 24 bit bmp.



I then went into acekard skin editor and made the skin.

I used the pics I got and the text and everything else I was able to edit on acekard skin editor.




I saved the skin into a folder called monster high on my desktop. The program saves it as its suppose to. For example, Lower screen, upper screen.

then I copy and pasted the folder into rpg/ui/monster high in my sd card.




This is the result.

My first skin.

I've always wanted a reason to use my VMs outside of gaming!
Sorry for the bump.
