<h1>Custom Banners for USB Loader GX</h1>
<hr />
<div class="normal">
This is a guide on how I was able to make custom banners for use in
<a href="https://wii.guide/usbloadergx">USB Loader GX</a>. While it may
not be the best way to do it, it is the one that I found to work. If you
happened to have found a better method, ping me on the
<a href="https://discord.gg/rc24">RiiConnect24 Discord server</a>, my
username is Snare-Hawk#6331.
</div>
<h4>What you need</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://code.google.com/archive/p/customizemii/downloads">
CustomizeMii
</a>
</li>
<li>
A WAD to use as a base, such as
<a href="assets/Animal Crossing Banner.wad">
this Animal Crossing one
</a>
</li>
<li>
An image editing software, such as
<a href="https://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Optional</h4>
<ul>
<li>
An audio editing software, such as
<a href="http://www.darkaudacity.com/download.html">Dark Audacity</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Instructions</h4>
<ol>
<li>
Find or create a fitting image that you want to use as the banner art.
</li>
<ul>
<li>
For a good banner, I recommend just putting the game's logo on top
of the title's art in your editing software.
</li>
<li>For best results, ensure the image's aspect ratio is 16:9.</li>
</ul>
<li>Compress the image as much as you can.</li>
<ul>
<li>
I've noticed that the larger the WAD is in size, the longer it takes
to load in your USB loader.
</li>
<li>I recommend using <a href="https://tinypng.com">TinyPNG</a>.</li>
</ul>
<li>Launch CustomizeMii and open your base WAD.</li>
<li>
Select the "Banner" tab and then select "MenuScreen.tpl". Then select
"Replace" and choose the image you want the banner to have.
</li>
<ul>
<li>
If you want to add your own music, select the "Options" tab, select
"Browse" under "New Sound" and then "Load Audio File".
</li>
<li>
Your audio file must be in .wav format and for best results, it
should also have only one audio channel and be under at 15 seconds.
</li>
</ul>
<li>Select "Create WAD" and save your WAD to your desired location.</li>
<li>
Open your new WAD in CustomizeMii and select the "Options" tab, select
"Extract..." and then "WAD Contents". This will extract the WAD's
content to a folder to your desired location.
</li>
<li>
Locate the folder containing the WAD contents and then rename the file
named <code>00000000.app</code> to <code>[GAME ID].bnr</code>.
<ul>
<li>
You only need to have the first three characters of the game ID
for USB Loader GX to read it properly.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Place your banner file in
<code>apps\usbloader_gx\cache_bnr</code> on your SD card.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
You should now see the banners you created with their respective title.
