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
folderpreview.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.
