Changelog

v1.10

Added: Now you can write two separate lines in the banner text with custom font and size for each one. Asked by @dbzkamehameha.
Added: VC SoundMultiSample option. With this you can enhance the VC audio quality. Useful if your inject makes bad sounds. Reported issue by @dbzkamehameha & @angelhp and solved by @angelhp.
Added: Now you can choose the message that we will see in the Home Menu when closing the game after suspending. Asked by @noctis90210.
Added: Native IPS patching. Now you can apply an IPS patch directly before making the CIA. Useful for use with GBA enhanced patches (just an example, any IPS patch will work).
Added: 6 new built-in VC borders: Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Red, Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, Pokémon TCG and Kirby.
Fixed the "Can not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\..\rom\vc1904.bin'" error that was present in 32 bit Operative Systems when using the New VC option. Reported by @darkalex004.

v1.7

Added: Option to make an injection with the new Virtual Console (that one which has no savestates and supports Link Cable if you have the correct game patches for that). Thanks to @Traiver.
Fixed: Override the imported icon.bin flags with another ones, so the game will show on the activity log, and the parental controls won't be a problem.
Fixed: Now everytime you open a new gbc rom, the program will auto-generate a new random Title ID and product code.

v1.6

Added: Now you can specify a short game name when making the icon of the CIA.

-Press '''Open GBC File''' button. It'll prompt you to pick a .gbc file.
+==Changelog==
+'''v1.10'''
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/gzhB0gx.png
+* Added: Now you can write two separate lines in the banner text with custom font and size for each one. Asked by @dbzkamehameha.
+* Added: VC SoundMultiSample option. With this you can enhance the VC audio quality. Useful if your inject makes bad sounds. Reported issue by @dbzkamehameha & @angelhp and solved by @angelhp.
-For this tutorial I'll pick the spanish edition of Pokémon Gold.
+* Added: Now you can choose the message that we will see in the Home Menu when closing the game after suspending. Asked by @noctis90210.
-When you pick a rom you'll be able to go to '''Step 2 (icon and name)'''.
-==='''Step 2:'''VC game icon and name===
-This is the '''Step 2''' main screen:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/0LFKxMW.png
-All the fields are explained in the info boxes, but let me know if something doesn't understand.
-Complete the fields making the most legit as possible (if you want to). ''For example'':
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/QnaeeaC.png
-I used a title screen screenshot in it's original size as icon (the program will automatically stretch it).
-When you complete all the fields you'll able to go to '''Step 3 (3d banner)'''.
-=='''Step 3:''' VC GBC 3D banners==
-This is the '''Step 3''' main screen:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/qH7to5S.png
-''Note:'' The program will load some default values (based on those in '''Step 2'''), but you can anyway replace these default values with ohter ones.
-Example: if you want the icon and 3D banner to have different images, then first complete '''Step 2''' with the icon image that you want and then complete '''Step 3''' with the banner image that you want. Otherwise if you are too lazy or you want the same standard as legit VC CIA, leave it as is.
-For this example, I'll let the same image as the icon, but I'll change the banner color for a golden one. To do this, just press '''Change frame color''' button and pick a color.
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/IEMAmM5.png
-There is a crappy ''preview'' of the banner color. '''<span style="color: #ff0000">The real one will be in 3D!
-</span>'''
-<span style="color: #000000">Also, I'll edit the bottom banner text, adding the release data (in spanish).
-You can change the font type, size, and brightness. Also there's a preview of this text banner (ignore the red borders, they won't be there in the console).
-Doing my changes for this example:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/0tTtusZ.png
-When you complete or modify all the fields you'll able to go to '''Step 4 (VC parameters)'''.
-==='''Step 4:'''VC parameters===
-This is the '''Step 4''' main screen:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/feeqTbl.png
-''(ignore that info box, it's not actually very explanatory)''?
-In this screen you can make the game full screen (as long as you launch the game without holding START or SELECT button).
-I was experiencing with the ingame borders. You can select a few frame styles (discover them on your own). '''You can now import a custom one (it's any 512x256 image).'''
-For this example I don't want the full screen mod, but I'll pick a non-purple colored frame, picking a light blue color for the frame (because I want to and I can).
-This is the result:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/0muVMyl.png
-There's some things I didn't say, but I think they're self-explanatory (If not, let me know!).
-Once we have everything ready, press '''Finish''' button.
-That's it! The application will ask you where do you want to save the CIA file and It took some seconds to create it.
-When the CIA is ready, the application will let you know it.
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/4wgUBvi.png
-Then you can install the CIA in sdcard using any CIA manager (actually I use the new FBI).
-(The tutorial's screenshot are from v1.0)
-'''Custom in-game borders:'''
-If you want to make some custom borders, use this image as base:
-https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/3dshomebrew/ODH1Q0G.png
-Please share those borders between us!

-'''TODO, petitions, etc:''' For now I'll just read this thread and make changes acording to the best for all. The code will be released much later; I'm planing to do a series of VC injectors... If a new version comes, I'll post here and I'll edit the OP.
