to use this skin, you need NOZ. you can get NOZ
here (check first post)
okay, my first skin.
i called this No$GBA-4-DS
tried to mimic an NDSLite running a flashcart's firmware
i've design both normal and rotated view to bedifferent, since NOZ make it possible to start noz directly into rotated mode
Normal view :
Rotated view :
and oh, it's has transparancy, grass image outside skin is my desktop background
*just incase someone curious and thought that it would look like that in your pc.
i've also made blank blue screen for anyone who wanna customize their own image
do not use this image, download the file instead in the other thread. since this image was optimized, so this image's magenta colour isn't pure magenta
hence transparancy will fail
preview
okay, a new skin
i know i said i'm goning to make iPhone skin this time, but it seem that i'm still obsessed with No$GBA-4-DS lol. so i put iPhone aside for a while, and come up with this white version of No$GBA-4-DS
with all of it's glamourous visual.
they say you can't find perfection, you must make one yourself. i id that on this one, instead looking for nintendo's product image (can't find any with high res and high quality, only got bunch of crap), white DSLite was build from scratch. every single pixel of it, giving it a much cleaner visual. since it 'home made' DSLite, it wuld also be easier to get 1.5-2x skin with the same quality, though i'm not encouraging 1.5x-2x skin size. since it's gonna eat up all your desktop space. i only got 1280*800 pixel LCD display, so 1.5x is the biggest size i've test so far.
just a little info if you wanna use bigger size. in skin mode, NOZ won't apply filtering, even though you activate filtering, therefor, bigger display size would give you poor quality on game display. not to mention that NOZ use BMP :| kinda dissapointing, since i can't implement alpha channel in it (corner get jaggy edge using bmp transparancy method - if this actually can be called transparancy-) and the file size, oh man.. spare me please. i've tried to make 1.5x and 2x skin, for 1.5x each image would weight roughly 2 Megabytes give you 4Megabytes total for a skin, it doubled on 2x skin, each file roughly about 3.8MB (total 8MB per skin) :| 24bit PNG would be a lot better in quality and size rather than 24bit BMP :|
ah man, but well, it's already good enaough
okay, 'nough said with all those ranting.
let's get on with teh skin
i present to you all, No$GBA-4-DS White edition.
