{{hatnote|1=This article only details how to install custom badges with [[3DS:Anemone3DS|Anemone3DS]]. For installation instructions using GTYB, see [[3DS:GYTB|this page]] instead.}} | |||
Custom badges are PNG images that can be attached to folders or placed on the HOME Menu grid, to give it a bit more personality. Badges may also be made into shortcuts for system applications, some of which don't normally have a home icon such as Nintendo Network ID Settings. Custom badges are built on the same framework as the official badges that could be earned through Nintendo Badge Arcade. | Custom badges are PNG images that can be attached to folders or placed on the HOME Menu grid, to give it a bit more personality.

Sets allow badges to be organized into | Sets allow badges to be organized into separate groups. To create a set, first make a new folder within <code>sd:/badges/</code>, with the folder name being the name of your set. Badges placed in a set subfolder will be installed as part of that set. Sets may also be given a set icon by placing a 48x48 pixel PNG into the set's folder with the name <code>_seticon.png</code>; if no <code>_seticon.png</code> exists, the set will be given a default icon of the Homebrew Launcher logo. Badges not placed in a set folder will instead be installed as part of a default set called "Other Badges" with a set icon of the Anemone3DS logo. | ||

=== Ext Data Locked === | |||
This error means the 3DS Home Menu is currently attempting to read from the Badge Ext Data, and Anemone3DS can't open it. If you run into this error, press the home button to return to the home menu, wait for a few seconds, and then returning to Anemone3DS (without having fully closed it), and try installing badges again. |
