Would love a custom banner For the Euro version of Dragon Quest IX. Hate how it currently shows the box art for the game on my 3ds whilst all my other DS games have proper banners.

Edit oh wait forget the above seems like there now is one lol.

Quick question guys, I have downloaded YANBF and have it running but how are you all accessing this "repository?" Some posts indicate that yanbf will auto generate the banner and sound but I don't see the files in my app folder... When I use the app it auto applies box art as the banner.

It should automatically use these files from the internet if there is one for your game, if there isn't then it falls back to boxart. Chances are you're probably using a game that hasn't had a custom banner made yet?

The actual repository is here on GitHub: https://github.com/YANBForwarder/assets/tree/main/assets

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that could be all it is, I haven't tried too many different games yet. I was thrown off because I saw in the thread that someone added the dragon quest games but when I tried my own, it still reverted to box art.. Maybe I had the wrong region? I will try some more and see if I can get any other games to work.

EDIT: Yep, its working, just not as many games in the repository as I thought.

There are a few ways, the quickest is seeing if the sound is on YouTube or somewhere similar or you can extract the sound from the game itself which is more time-consuming.

Quick question... I was planning on making custom art and audio for Meteos, but I can't seem to get it working once actually installed on my 3DS. The audio, anyway.
The logo works perfectly fine but all it plays for audio is a sequence of short, high-pitched beeps.

I'm exporting the audio as a WAV file via Audacity (which was used to originally record and crop the audio from in-game sounds); I've tried the 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit export options to see if that was the issue, but 32-bit just goes WAY over the size limit and kills the forwarder to the point it shows no banner OR audio.
(either way in the end 16-bit turned out to have the correct bitrate, compared to other "official" custom banner audio I've seen here, so that's what's attached below)

I've attached the files I'm using, 'cause i'm not exactly sure what I'm missing here.
My installed ROM for the game is made off of a European copy, but that shouldn't really make any difference here.

The wav needs to be less than 3s, yours is 3.8s.

THANK YOU. That was exactly it.
Alright, submitting my media for Meteos then.

(there's not really much of a difference from region to region outside of not having the japanese characters on the blocks, unless someone could find this HQ logo as a single sprite without those characters to re-scale back down to 256x128)

EDIT: Just got it merged via Github as a single thing, should be available to automatically apply from the forwarder

Took SO MUCH trial and error, but I made one for Mega Man Star Force DX with the hack's logo and some ripped charge-shot sounds I was able to find online. Feel free to use!

Wish there was an easier way to do this. The logo is easy, launchbox can get any of the ones you need. But the wav files take forever to import to audacity and trim down. Even harder if you haven't played the game and have to find a sound effect you think MIGHT be a good fit

how to extract the banner from nds rom, or someone could help me extract the plant vs zombie banner?
You don't extract the banner from the rom, you have to create it yourself. You're in lucky because I happen to have a banner and sound for Plant vs. Zombie. Please find it in the attachment.
