==Badge requirements==
* Custom badges must be <code>.png</code>(s) whose dimensions are divisible by 64 pixels
* [https://themeplaza.art/badges Theme Plaza] has a large collection of such badge images
** If you get custom badges from Theme Plaza, look for and delete <code>preview.png</code>
* The custom badge's name is set to whatever the filename of the badge is
* Images larger than 64x64 will be split into separate badges (eg. 128x128 will be split into four badges)
** Badges split in this way will share the same name or app shortcut
* The most badges you can install at a time is 1,000. If you attempt to install more than 1,000 badges, GYTB will crash.
 
===Shortcuts===
Custom badges can be made into shortcuts to launch system applications; a list of compatible titles can be found [[3dbrew:Title_list#00040010_-_System_Applications|here]]. To create a badge shortcut, rename the badge so the TIDLow of the system app is between the first and second period of the file name, like so: <code>BadgeName.<TIDLow>.png</code>.  For example, a file named <code>settings.00021000.png</code> would create a badge named settings that launches USA System Settings (mset). Badges made into shortcuts will display the banner of the application they launch, rather than being a pin; applications without a banner will display a default banner instead.

== Troubleshooting ==


If '''GYTB''' causes an [[3DS:EXCEPTION|exception]] when you open it, it is usually one of two reasons:
=== Section II - Launching GYTB ===
# There is an image whose dimensions can't be divided by 64 in the <code>badges</code> folder
#* <code>preview.png</code> is a common instance of this, especially when downloading from Theme Plaza. Check for this file and delete it.
# There are more than 1000 images inside the <code>badges</code> folder
#* The 3DS can only have 1000 badges installed. This is a hard limit that cannot be bypassed; remove images until you are under the limit again.


If '''GYTB''' gives the error "'''WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ELF.'''", it is for one of two reasons:
#Open the Homebrew Launcher using any method
# If the error appears after saying "'''Writing to extdata...'''", your badges folder is either not present, misplaced, or misnamed.
#Launch GYTB from the list of homebrew
# If the error appears after saying "'''Checking for preexisting Badge Arcade badges to dump...'''", then your pre-existing badges were unable to be dumped.
*If followed properly, you should see your badges flash on the screen, and be sent back to the home menu.
