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

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 "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ELF.", it is for one of two reasons:

1. If the error appears after saying "Writing to extdata...", your badges folder is either not present, misplaced, or misnamed.
2. If the error appears after saying "Checking for preexisting Badge Arcade badges to dump...", then your pre-existing badges were unable to be dumped. Clear your badges in Badge Arcade's help desk and then try again.
