Over the past weeks I have been working on Project CiTRUS. Currently this tool is capable of designing/outputting "proper" Nintendo 3DS (CTR) BaNneR and ICoN files using my XBSF format.

You may notice that creating these formats is not yet available in any other released tool. Over the course of time I will do my best to add creating new formats of 3DS files among various other calculations if I see users are liking the program.



Note: I do not recommend this release for n00bs as it requires knowledge of a few Nintendo 3DS (CTR) files.


I do not include an editor for these formats, however, I do include an example of each required file for generating a test banner/icon. I do this not to troll, but rather in the hopes that it will encourage other talented users to make programs for the 3DS.




USE

For the most part, I included instructions in READMEHOWTOUSE.txt included in the download for the program.

INPUT:

  • 1x XBSF (Xtended Banner Specifications(Spec) File)
  • 2x CTPK (CTR Texture PacKage)
  • 1x BCWAV (Banner CTR Wave)
  • 1x CBMD (CTR Banner Model Data)

OUTPUT:

  • 1x BNR (Optional)
  • 1x ICN (Optional)

ISSUES

I believe building should be stable now, but please make sure to either open a file or save your work before hitting the "build" button. I have included catches so hitting the "build" button without having saved or opened a file will do nothing in order to ensure that you do not lose your work.

A few bugs reported in this version:

  • "Polish" is supposed to be "Portuguese"
  • Can't set region to Taiwan
  • Can't set rating to true

UPCOMING

Version 0.2: (not released yet, I will release the update when all 7 of the following are done)

  • Fix: "Polish" to "Portuguese" (done)
  • Fix: Set region to Taiwan (done)
  • Fix: Set rating to true (done)
  • Add: Colour scheme of menu items to match colour scheme menu bar (done, and lookin' spiffy)
  • Add: Listbox for regions (done)
