I'm running into an issue trying to edit LaiNes, I wanted to add an Image to clean up my Homebrew Menu, but whenever I load LaiNes into the Asset editor it seems to screw up the UI, anyway around this?

Yeah that's doing my head in too. It must be a non-standard format or something.

Here's a fix for this. Right now it's just cropping and forcing it to 256x256 icons since that's what hbmenu recommends. An NRO could have larger dimensions than that however, so ideally being able to choose the size is probably best in the future.

Some NROs won't allow editing; for example, the Genesis Plus GX LibNX RetroArch core, or the latest Beetle-PSX core. This happens even when I use the 256-forced-version.
This is what I get from the console:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 1699, in __call__
File "maker.py", line 218, in browse
File "site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 2585, in open
OSError: cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object at 0x028F3750>

For anyone interested, here is my piggy-backed fork of this OCD soothing tool <3

I made this because I have issues, and sometimes I reaaaaaaaaaaally dislike clutter. It's totally useless and a waste of time, because a tool should ideally save you some time. This just creates more work, even if it optimises that work.

Anyway. I wanted to change version numbering in some OVL files as well, because I like my Tesla Overlay Menu clean and tidy: https://github.com/HenryBaby/nro-ovl-asset-editor

Looks good to me! I also like that you used QT instead of tkinter because if one UI doesn't work on an OS, then users can try the other one.

Also totally agree, organization is so important for this kind of stuff! Even if it's technically more work, at least it's also self-satisfying.

That last part is sooo true!

Also, I'm fairly new to all of this. I hope I was clear with where all the credit goes and all that jazz. Please let me know if I should clarify stuff in any way on the Github page and I'll make the changes. Much love!

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
