GYTB (an acronym for Give You This Budge) is a homebrew app for the 3DS that can install image files as custom badges. GYTB only works on system firmwares 9.3 and above.

This page will explain both how to install and how to use this app.

Installing GYTB

Power on the console
Open Universal-Updater
Tap the magnifying glass on the bottom screen, then search for GYTB
Press A while hovering over GYTB from the list of homebrew
Choose GYTB.3dsx for homebrew launcher or GYTB.cia for HOME screen installation
Wait until the app installs
Close Universal-Updater

You can scan one of the QR codes below to download and install the program using FBI. To do this, start FBI, then go to "Remote Install", then "Scan QR Code".

CIA https://github.com/MechanicalDragon0687/GYTB/releases/download/1.0/GYTB.cia

Download GYTB.cia (direct download)
Install it using a CIA installer such as FBI

Download GYTB_hax.zip (direct Download)
Copy the 3ds folder from inside the GYTB_hax.zip onto the root of your SD card
- If you are using macOS, hold the ⌥ Option key while dragging the folders to the root of your SD card, then click Merge

Getting custom badges

Obtain images you want to use as custom badges
- Images must be .pngs whose dimensions are divisible by 64px
- Images larger than 64x64 will be split into separate badges (eg. 64x128 will be split into two badges)
- The custom badge's name is set to whatever the filename of the badge originally was
Theme Plaza has a large collection of such badge images
- If you get custom badges from Theme Plaza, look for and delete preview.png

Installing custom badges

Create a badges folder on the root of your SD card
Copy your badge .png files to the badges folder
Reinsert your SD card into your console
Power on your console and Launch GYTB from the HOME screen

You should see your badges flash on the screen, and be sent back to the HOME Menu afterward

Create a badges folder in the same location as GYTB.3dsx
- Usually sd:/3ds/ or sd:/3ds/GYTB/
Copy your badge .png files to the badges folder
Reinsert your SD card into your console
Power on your console and open the Homebrew Launcher
- If you already have a Homebrew Launcher icon on the HOME Menu, use that
- If you do not have this icon, do the following set of steps:
  1. Open Download Play
  2. Open Rosalina (the most common keycombos for the menu are L+↓+SELECT and X+Y
  3. Go into Miscellaneous options, then select Switch the hb. title to the current app
  4. Press B until you exit Rosalina, then close Download Play and reopen it - at this point, the Homebrew Launcher should appear
Launch GYTB from the list of homebrew

You should see your badges flash on the screen, and be sent back to the HOME Menu afterward

Placing custom badges

Tap on HOME menu settings in the top left of the HOME menu
Tap on the new button titled "Decorate with Badges"
Drag your custom badges from the top of the screen onto your HOME menu
- To attach badges to folders, tap on the top right wrench icon and select "Attach Badge to Folder"
Tap on the X or press the HOME,B, or X buttons to exit the badge menu

Troubleshooting

If GYTB causes an exception when you open it, it is usually one of two reasons:

There is an image whose dimensions can't be divided by 64 in the badges folder
- preview.png 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 badges 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 "badges folder is missing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ELF.", then your badges folder is either misplaced, or misnamed.
