ba-GUI-nnertool is a homebrew prgoram for customizing 2D/3D banner and icon/SMDH. It was originally a simple tool that allows you to extract banner.bnr from any decrypted CIA, more features were later added and it is now more like a CIA editor/builder.

FAQ
Q. Whats the size constraints on the 3D banner tool?
you can build a 2D banner with ba-GUI-nnertool and a 256x128.png. Banner should not exceed <700kb.
If you want to make a flat 3D banner with maya (example) there is only a limitation about polygons (and size/visibility on homemenu).
Q. How can I import 3D model in the banner?
You can use 3D Studio Max to create your .OBJ file. Then import it as a new CGFX file in EveryFileExplorer.
Choose .bcmdl/.cgfx (it's the same) to save the result and built a new banner.bnr.
Q. How to I edit the Icon text?
It is the description text wihch you can change in the Icon tab of ba-GUI-nnertool (the text is in the icon.icn).
You may need to delete the cache afterwards for the the edited texts to display.
