Use Crytaltile2 for Lux-Pain specific
open the rom in ct2, get the file system window up (ctrl-N), click on a .ntfx file,
change in the properties pane width to 256 height to 192(or 185 unh), tile form to gba 8bpp
I'm using in the palette tab the gray division, back to properties, change the scale if you want (displays more), select the tile you wish to import or export then goto edit and do so - remebering to save it as you need it (bmp jpg whatever) if you don't like the palette play the game in an emulator and savea sceen shot... then imort the palette from that screenshot any more questions just post again

just under the file tab on the left side of the screen is the properties pane beside it is the palette panel and then favorites and then settings where your default code page is set up
if you can get the march 09 version (the one you do not need to register)
this has an api that reflects the language of the system (so italian language file would be set by defualt- if they had it)

to veiw that file as an image in crystaltile2 press F5 then it will just be amatter of changing the settings til you see what you need to see then exporting or importing the image(s) as needed

you might find it useful to search for other posts on ct2 there are some pretty good faqs...

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
