Allow me to introduce you: "Howling Theme Tool". A noob-proof tool to pack your custom themes as .CIA files to be used in Custom Firmware.
Features
- Allows to pack up to 100 themes in one CIA file (the 3DS home menu limit).
- Creates US, EU and JP theme packages.
- Allow theme, icon and bgm preview.
- Separates Custom, NSFW and Official themes.
- Name arrangement feature.
To do list
- Other arrangement options (up / down buttons and stuff)
- Try to Gateway compatibility if possible or if I get lazy, send GW a mail asking them to patch what they don't patch.
Notice
This only works under Custom Firmware (tested on rxTools and Player's Heaven) at the moment. Gateway forgot to patch the DLCs integrity check, so it will fail to install due to the "plain" control file. If someone wants to send a mail to GW to give them some feedback about this, remember to do it with "respect" and please, do not "FILL" their inbox with "cloned" mails.
