DS Misc > Custom icons and descriptions for .nds binaries?

#109613 - MaHe - Sun Nov 19, 2006 6:51 pm

Hi!

Since the brand new M3 firmware (E30c) allows the user to see the binary icons along with descriptions in the menu, I wonder how to unpack the binary, set the custom icon and description and repack it. It's definitely possible using ndstool, I just wonder how.

Thanks in advance!

From Infantile Paralysiser's ImageView source:
Code:
   ndstool   -c $(TARGET).nds -7 $(TARGET).arm7 -9 $(TARGET).arm9 -b arm9/logo32.bmp "ImageView.nds;_;By Moonlight"

Yes, I found that already. :(
However, how do I disassemble the binary to add this?
