So I've been tinkering with the idea of a vertical theme that uses game carts.

It's been on my to do list but the prospect of maintaining yet another repo and making icons solo doesn't interest me.

I have a unfinished version of the theme(based on my Lumia theme) and just made a handful of icons as a test.

As you can see this is just a vanilla (ish) theme with a small handful of icons.
There are places I can work out how to apply the roundness but overall I think it looks awesome.

Would anyone be interested in making icons?
I have a git with blank cart templates, and have made an .io site with guides how to make vertical icons

I have added a load of cart icons to nxgic repo too.
Obviously I won't get everyone of the games so please feel free to use the template to make your own.

Remember images need to be 256*256
Non progressive jpg and keep the file size under 120kb

I also wrote a helpful guide on making custom icons too
https://sodasoba1.github.io/diy/

I also made a cart theme and all my other themes are here;

And here are the nxtheme files & JSON files;

How are you making the icons ? Is it just a matter of editing images? You could probably automate the process a bit with Python

I see you have a template blank game cart image already which helps a ton

yes. just edit in a photo editor app, make it to 256x256 and the size is not more than 128kb.

just like me, i used photo editing app on my phone and send it via ftpd and look for the tid of the game. make a folder and name it (tid) of the game and paste the icon there oh and make sure to rename the jpg file to icon.jpg

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
