Obtaining custom badges

• Obtain images you want to use as custom badges

  • 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

CIA3dsx

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

1. Create a badges folder in the same location as GYTB.3dsx

2. Copy your badge .png files to the badges folder
3. Reinsert your SD card into your console
4. 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

Decorate with Badges

1. Tap on HOME menu settings in the top left of the HOME menu
2. Tap on the new button titled "Decorate with Badges"
3. 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"
4. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
