Hey all,
I wanted to share a quick cool project regarding "native" Mega Badge creation with Advanced Badge Editor and Simple Badge Injector.

While making custom mega badges may seem as simple as splitting the images into equal pieces, it is acceptable, but it looks ugly when the badge is selected, as it only shows one piece and not the whole mega badge.

As an experiment, I went to load my Nintendo Badge Arcade save file that I'd backed up before shutdown, and see how the system registers mega badges. Since I only started doing the Badge Arcade collection after the eShop shut down, I only had two types of mega badges. A four-piece square mega badge, and a two-piece upright rectangle mega badge. The badges' sub ID is shown as below:

Four-piece Square Badge:

A: 1100
B: 1110
C: 1101
D: 1111

Two-piece Rectangle Badge:

A: 1000
B: 1010

If you have other mega badges that aren't four-piece squares and two-piece rectangles, please comment on the sub-IDs bellow so we can learn together how to create great mega badges! Just dump the NBA badge data via SBI and open the data with Advanced Badge Editor.

Check the first two posts on page 8 of Advanced Badge Editor's thread, there's info on all possible sub IDs, but you're basically only missing those for horizontal 1x2 (i.e. A: 100 & B: 101).

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID
