Here's a new application for those using the Slot 1 SuperCard flash cart with their DS, and it comes straight out of the developing office of SuperCard coder ratx.

The SuperCard DS Skinner increases compatibility with the SuperCard just as ratx's Magic homebrew patcher does, allowing you to patch your own wallpaper into the latest English msforsc.nds using your PC and this batch script and other utilities compiled by ratx. Having custom wallpapers is something we all enjoy, and now you can make your own without any error messages!

What this does is this simply replaces the existing sclogo.b15 with your own image file in PNG format. It then removes the bootup error screen so you don't have to sit through the error every time you boot up with your custom image file. The only limitations with this program is that your compressed wallpaper.bin has to be less than or around 18k to 26k as a raw PNG file.

This package also includes ratx's SuperCard DS "parts maker" that will cut a msforsc.nds into the part1 and part3 needed for patching your own wallpaper, so no need to do that yourself. As far as customizing your DS goes, it doesn't get much easier than this.

SuperCard Magic Homebrew Patcher v0.2 from Ratx turns your random .nds / .ds.gba file into a supercard .sc.nds file. Ratx says it's basically more "intelligent" or "magic" than Sata's. It scans the file ( beit ds.gba / .nds / whatever ) to determine exactly what needs to be done and then does it for you ( prepend ndsloader / copy / rename etc ).

This updated version of app features the following:

• Scans the file header for ndsloader(s) - removes extra copies
• Scans the file for the correct arm9 offset + SA crc
• Incorporates ndsloader into the .sc.nds if needed
  Detects new "fixed" Devkitpro .nds files
  

To use this app:

• Copy scmhbp.exe on your PC.
• Drag and drop homebrew.nds/ds.gba onto scmhbp.exe. An .sc.nds file will be produced in the directory of the original file. (If this filename already exists you will be prompted to delete it.)

• Drop the .sc.nds file onto your SD/CF

• Job done!

Ratx says this app prolly won't be useful for most people, "But if you're insanely lazy like me or just new to the whole scene I hope it might make things easier for you."
