DS development > How do I change certain rom information?

#50210 - TheMikaus - Sat Aug 06, 2005 4:09 pm

When you use ndstool I know you can set the icon and some text. and I can get that to work. But when I send the rom over wifi it still says "FireFly" in the little box.

+--------------------------+
|ICON| TEXT |
| | [FireFly] |
+--------------------------+

this is on the DS Download Screen, the bottom one where you select the games is where it says fire fly not the top screen.

Anyway. How do I change this to say something else? There was a discussion about banners but I thought the banners were the images you get like "Nintendo" after you boot the ds. Help?

You can change that text by adding "-player <yourname>" to the wmb.exe parameter list.

I tried that :( it still says FireFly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

(I just used your wifi to test it)
wmb -player mikaus -data wifime

The "-player" parameter only works when using .nds files. The "wifime" package contains header.bin, arm9.bin, etc. files, and "-player" has no effect.

...or you could whip out your trusty hex editor and replace Fly's name semi-permanently ;)

I would.

yeah. I did that too. Look for "FireFly" with all characters incremented with 1 or something.
