I see awesome and amazing looking themes on the custom themes manager but I want something more personal for my system... when I asked in the henkaku discord they just said to take someone elses theme and just override images but that doesn't change what the theme.xml is loading into the theme or does it make it look like when im applying my own theme when its literally under some unrelated images under some other creators name... I know these are probably pet peeves to you and don't matter but I want my themes to look personally atoned to me no matter if its in the menu or the settings tab. and theres apparently now equilvalent to the howling theme creator that the 3ds has for the vita.... so its pretty much just image files and an xml file I don't get lol so a way to make my own custom theme and not modify an existing theme would be nice..

Is their a good theme engine or is it still the bubble editor? Last I knew that was it, but why even use that awful bubble system and not just use a launcher? (vita-launcher, hexflow)

Only thread I can find on the topic and everyone decides to tell you to manually edit XML documents. Great. Super helpful. Is there REALLY no other way than finding out how XML works? NOTHING?

No lol I actively am wanting to do this but finding everything manually is a thing nobody wants to do and why we don't have themes like the .ctf themes for the psp!

Actually I DID find a piece of software not long after posting that comment that seems to work super well! Few minor issues but nothing that stopped me from making my own theme. GBAtemp's spam filter isn't letting me post links since I never use this account, so just know it's the github subpage /KuromeSan/Sony-ThemeTool.

I'd tell you how to make your own music, but again, filter, and plus it's not TOO hard to find out how to do with some Googling. Happy theme-ing!

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    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."
