Emulator Icons...
« on: August 31, 2006, 12:54:00 AM »

I use xbmc as my main dashboard.  And while i've been able to get an icon to work on emu's that do not already have a pre-installed icon, i cannot replace an emu's icon with another icon when one is already present.

I renamed the icon to default.tbn, and also tried folder.jpg.  But neither works on emu's that already have an icon.

Where are the pre-installed icons found on emu's that have them?  I searched their files and cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks for any help.

From what I've gatherd from helping out with uix, they're packed into the xbe.... but that doesn't seem right. I've also heard that they get put into each emulator/apps' Tdata or Udata folder.... I think it's Udata.

Yeah my bad, TitleMeta.xbx, TitleImage.xbx and the rest of them in main save folder in Udata.

You can edit the xbx easy. Fastxbx2img2dds is probably the easiest way. You can read my tutorial in the old tHc forum inside the uix forum on how to make them in depth if you need the help.

Not to change the subject but I notice that you have a UIX logo as your sig

Isn't it true that UIX withered and stopped prematurely while still on that incomplete build, before even part 2 ever came to fruition?

It seemed like such a fruitless tease, defended only by the argument that "If you're not helping code it, then shut up." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Hahaha. It was quite a novel of drama.

I personally find it a little funny that the bastards saying it was never going to ever come out were right. So I have to have a chuckle every time I see that logo. It's kind of a life lesson. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

So, thanks man,
that brightened up my day some

That does actually work (I've done it for all my emus and games) but you have to delete the original icons stored in the Thumbnails folder for XBMC to start using the new ones.

Would you mind terribly posting or uploading your set of icons?

I rather dig them.
